I love how everything was just a pass-through when you have purchased an online ticket pass, it's seamless, you never have to worry about falling in line. Went up to see the theatre of Dionysus and it was a sight for sore eyes- i was in awe!!! Then all of the temples in the acropolis was so mind-blowing to see and to understand how everything was made carefully while it was all but huge pillars is something one cannot imagine. Too beautiful to see, such an experience. Thankful to the greek gods for this experience!

I loved how seamless the app was. Seeing the Parthenon and the museum was incredible — probably one of the easiest major tourist attractions I’ve visited in a long time. The museum was the perfect size too. It wasn’t overwhelmingly huge, but it also didn’t feel too small. And the Parthenon itself was absolutely magnificent to see up close. Such an unforgettable experience.

The climb up was incredible going up to one of the most historic sites in the world. Seeing all the ruins and partial buildings and making it to the top and seeing The Parthenon up close takes your breath away. Just a marvel.

One of the most impressive experiences I had in Athens was visiting the Acropolis, a place everyone should see at least once in their lifetime. I bought the tickets online, a smart choice that allowed me to avoid the long lines at the ticket office and start my visit without rushing. I entered through the southern entrance of the site, where the path gradually opens up toward the ancient ruins. Along the way, I passed by the Theater of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus before reaching the Propylaea, the monumental gate that opens access to the Acropolis and, further on, to the Parthenon. The atmosphere of the place is steeped in history, and the feeling of walking in the footsteps of an ancient civilization is hard to put into words. The highlight of the visit was the sweeping panorama of Athens, admired from the observation point on the Acropolis. The view of the city is truly spectacular and makes every step of the climb worthwhile. I recommend visiting in the morning or late afternoon, when the crowds and the heat are easier to avoid.

Visiting the Acropolis and the Parthenon with my son Gianni was one of the most meaningful experiences of our journey through Greece. Standing before monuments that shaped democracy, philosophy, and world history was truly unforgettable. The audio guide helped us better understand the history, culture, and significance of each site. Walking through the Acropolis felt like stepping into the origins of civilization itself. The views over Athens were breathtaking, and despite the number of visitors, the experience remained peaceful and inspiring. This visit was more than a tourist trip for us; it was an educational and emotional moment shared between father and son. Greece welcomed us with warmth, history, and beauty that we will always remember. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the heart of ancient history and human achievement.

    Déjà l'intitulé du billet laisse entendre qu'il y a deux entrées différentes pour l'Acropole et lae Parthénon, ce qui n'est pas le cas. Pourquoi compliquer si on peut faire simple? Ensuite le billet n'est en aucun cas un coupe file. On attend comme tout le monde. Enfin les commentaires de l'audio guide ne sont pas intéressants. J'ai interrogé l'IA à la place et c'était d'un niveau bien supérieur. Aucune des options ci-dessus ne convient pour dire en quoi je suis réservé. J'en ai cochér une au hasard. Même la présente enquête n'est pas très bonne. Cela dit en toute amitié.

    An sich ist es ein muss, wenn man das erste mal in Athen ist. Nur sehen das leider tausende andere Touristen auch so. So standen wir trotz einhalten unseres Zeifensters ca. 30 Minuten "im Stau" um noch oben zu kommen. Bei ca. 30 Grad nicht jedermanns Sache. Oben war es sehr schön und man hat auch eine tolle Aussicht über die Stadt. Nur in die Ruinen darf man nicht. Ob der Preis gerechtfertigt ist, weiß ich nicht. Generell ist Athen gefühlt relativ teuer... LG

  • 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.
