About this experience
Explore the Acropolis of Athens, the ancient hilltop citadel above the Greek capital. Discover the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaea and the Temple of Athena Nike from the permitted visitor routes. Admission does not allow entry inside the ancient temples or access to restricted restoration areas.
The standard option provides one Acropolis visit on the selected date and within the booked entry window. It does not include the separate Acropolis Museum, a live guide, an audio guide or transport. Online booking does not provide priority access or allow visitors to bypass entrance, security or monument queues.
Other options combine Acropolis admission with the additional attraction or service named in that option. These are TicketEx bundles of separate admissions or services, rather than a single official multi-site pass. Each venue retains its own opening hours, entry conditions and booking requirements. The National Archaeological Museum is a different museum from the Acropolis Museum.
Follow the date and entry window on your issued ticket and allow time for uphill walking and queues. Bring identification and any eligibility documents required for reduced or free admission. Wear shoes suitable for uneven, slippery stone. Access can change because of weather, conservation work or official closures.
