There were 4 of us, so getting the City card was fantastic we managed to walk straight into the arena (no queue), reserved a slot at Juliette’s house (for free) and wandered past the crowds and straight in. We went into a beautiful church and the Castelvecchio museum. We didn’t use transportation, but you could see the availability of where you could get to and from, on the map provided. Excellent value for money
