make sure there's a show on when you go as it would be a mistake to miss this fabulous theatre built in the 1500's

I guess we were expecting another Roman ruins theater. This is nothing like that. It does not take long to see, but it is worth seeing.

We were lucky being able to attend opera "Le nozzi di Figaro" in this very special theater. Andrea Palladio, who's name was given him after greek goddess Athena Pallada as an acknowledgment of his ingenious talent, has made this unique project/ Must see while in Vicenca and even worth for special stop, while planning your italian tour

We were amazed at the architecture of this building and theater. There is nothing else like this venue and if you could see a show here, do.

If in Vicenza Teatro Olimpico is a must! And buy the entrance card valid for 7 places. Coffe and cake or a light lunch or some drinks just outside the theatre.

This is the oldest built-to-perspective theater in its original form in all of Europe. Projected by Palladio, the Renaissance architect, and executed by his protegee, it has never been renovated but, rather, kept up along the way. It is a 'must see' on your stop to Vicenza. If you're lucky, you might be in town for a theater or musical... More

So many people commented that the price was high. Today it is 10euro BUT your ticket here gets you in to many other wonderful museums, for three days, including Palladio Museum (next door) and Museo Diocesano - both of which I saw today as well. Also Gallerie d'Italia, Museo del Risorgimento e della Resistenza, Museo Naturalistico Archeologico, and Pinacoteca Civica... More

It is an amazing theater. Must see. They do allow pictures. Waited a long time to see it and it was well worth the wait. The stage appears as if you are peaking into a neighborhood of some unknown village.

This is a full on classical Roman outdoor theatre created indoors. Beautiful and amazing. Lets you imagine you are in Rome at the height of the Empire.
