We booked a combo ticket. That was 77€ per adult. It included the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the museum. There was one thing we didn’t understand: we paid extra for the Parthenon, even though it was part of the Acropolis tour anyway. Despite all that, it was a very nice trip. There were drink vending machines and restrooms. My recommendation is to visit in the fall if possible; we went in mid-July and it was really hot—there’s very little shade right on the Acropolis grounds.

We bought tickets on Headout to visit the Acropolis in Athens, and I can assure you that this is the best website to buy them from. We had the chance to see all the monuments in the Acropolis area and even got access to an audio guide! Headout emailed me the tickets as soon as I bought them, which was a huge relief and made me realize I could trust them. Thank you for an unforgettable experience at a truly affordable price.

A superb experience and a must when in Athens. Value for money and brilliant communication from start to finish. Highly recommended. I'd visit the museum first before seeing the Parthenon to get some context in my opinion. 10/10 ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Acropolis is truly a beautiful place to visit. I recommend going early in the morning, around 8:00 a.m., so you can enjoy a great view of the entire Acropolis and its monuments—but most importantly, there aren’t that many tourists yet, and the sun isn’t too high in the sky, even in the middle of summer.
