Experiencing the beauty of Acropolis and its history for the first time was amazing and listening to the interesting facts and stories as we progressed through the paths.George

Our trip to Athens was absolutely wonderful. The only reason I have not given it top marks was because of the disjointed organisation for the disabled. The distance between the taxi ranks and the buggies to the lift was to far for anyone with problems walking to achieve and even if one had access to a wheel chair it is up a steep incline on beautiful slippery marble. Disabled access to the wonderful National Archaeological Museum was again difficult between taxi and door. I have to, msay that everybody with whom we came in contact was kind and helpful.Witold

The ancient buildings on the hill aroused admiration, reflection (from the perspective of a few years of studying classical philology) and sadness (you know: history and time) at the same time. Plus, of course, the magnificent views and the information from the audio guide, as much as it was needed. Note: an essential complement to a visit to the Acropolis is a walk around the hill.Susan

We arrived for the early opening for 9am and was able to enter from 8:45 so glad we did this as by the time we were ready to make our way down they were loads of people on the way up. So pleased we made the trip to walk around and see what went before us.Petridou

It was very quick and uncomplicated with the online ticket. And I really enjoyed the audio guide. I learned a lot of things I didn't know.
From the Acropolis to the Ancient Agora, see Athens’ most legendary sites with a guided tour or explore at your own pace with a multilingual audio guide.
Getting started
Your visit begins at the Acropolis, where you’ll either meet your guide at the designated entry point or start your self-guided tour with an audio guide. If you’ve chosen a guided tour, your expert will introduce the site's history before leading you through this ancient citadel.
What to expect
The Acropolis
Walk through the Propylaea, the grand gateway to the Acropolis, and soak in sweeping views of Athens. Explore the Parthenon, the crown jewel of classical Greece, as you learn about its construction, famous sculptures, and how it evolved over time.
Visit the Erechtheion, known for its elegant Caryatid columns, and the Temple of Athena Nike, dedicated to the goddess of victory. Your guide (or audio tour) will share the myths behind these temples, including Athena and Poseidon's legendary rivalry for Athens.
Head down to the Theater of Dionysus, the birthplace of Greek drama, where ancient playwrights once staged their works. Stop by the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a Roman amphitheater still hosting performances today.
Acropolis Museum (optional)
Upgrade your ticket to explore artifacts from the Acropolis, including the original Caryatids, the Parthenon Marbles, and the Frieze of the Parthenon. Visit the museum’s underground excavation, where an ancient Athenian neighborhood is preserved beneath glass floors.
Old Town (Plaka) (optional)
Opt for an Athens Old Town audio guide to explore Plaka’s historic streets, Byzantine churches, and local tavernas while learning about the city’s evolution.
