Pro tips to help you make a pick

Wear comfortable shoes, as the site is expansive and includes uneven ancient pathways and grassy areas.

Bring a refillable water bottle and sun protection—shade is limited, especially around the stadium and temples.

Start your visit at the Archaeological Museum to see original statues and artifacts before exploring the ruins.

Download an audio guide app or consider a guided tour for richer historical context, as on-site signage is limited.

Keep your ticket stub handy if you plan to exit and re-enter the site or museum on the same day.
