It’s worth seeing in a lifetime. I get there on a free day in january, there were not many people in the cash but quite many on the Acropolis. In season better buy ticket before using their website.

If it's your first time in Athens this archaeological site is a must-see! Make sure to purchase your ticket in advance and via the official site only. The Acropolis slopes and Parthenon are a combined ticket from memory. I wasn't expecting the elevation to be as high as it was so I was bit nervous walking up those slippery steps but there are so many ppl so if you do slip the ppl around you will break your fall hahaha. There is a time slot for entry but no need to rush as my friends and I left when the site was closing for the day. Choose a time slot when it is somewhat the cooler part of the day (or getting cooler) so towards the end of the day or first thing in the morning. Of course if you're short on time then you're just going to have to take whichever time slot you can a ticket for on the day you require. Wear comfortable walking shoes or sandals and don't forget your water bottle, hat and SPF 50. I was here in the last week of Sept and it was still very hot so be prepared to sweat. Once you reach the summit however, there is a nice breeze and of course fantastic views of the city beneath. It would've been nice to have more evening slots but this is perhaps only possible during summer when there is daylight saving. It would've been nice to have a casual chat with the archaeological staff onsite but not sure if they're around during visitation hours or perhaps they had clocked off by the time our time slot came around. Quite a significant amount of ongoing restoration and it must be amazing to be a part of the project. Site has a dedicated train stop and the walk isn't long from the station to the entrance. From memory there are a couple of entrances to the site.

A tremendous experience! We visited in the off season and waited until 2 1/2 hrs before closing We walked right in and up to the top with no lines. We have pictures with no other people visible, try that in the summer.

A fantastic, breathtaking view over the whole of Athens. The temple remains under perpetual construction, with several pieces still missing. Recommended to get a tour with a guide.

the famous historical temple, the Parthenon. the most beautiful and remarkable piece of ancient history that we have! In winter, you should take a jacket if you go up there because it's windy, especially if you go in the morning. In the summer, the hat is a necessity because the sun is really strong! It is a great experience. I recommend booking a ticket in advance so you don't have to wait at the ticket office. Look for discounts!! ex. young adults (up to 25 years old) have a free entry, students have discounts as well, people 65+ years old have too. Even without the discount, I think the ticket price is reasonable due to all the maintenance that is needed for all the temples. Wear comfortable shoes, not heels!!! Not accessible for wheelchair users.

The Parthenon at the Acropolis completed our Athens trip!!! Amazingly beautiful with breathtaking views of the city. The walk up to the top is a bit tiring but it you have a disability card they will let you use the elevator at the North entrance. It’s worth the visit!

Absolutely stunning!!! You have to pay to get up there, but it is worth it. Incredible views of Athens and observing the scale of these structures blew my mind.

A must see if visiting Athens. Its uneven surfaces for parts of it so walking boots are recommended. The Parthenon is very impressive and the View of Athens from the tip shows how big Athens is. Worth getting a guided tour to learn the history of the site.

We've been there at the end of October, which is is probably the best time of the year. Weather is usually still sunny, while at the same time its not too hot. And the Acropolis is not overcrowded even tho you will meet lots of ppl. Keep in mind this is one of the worlds most visited must-see hotspots. You have to book a time slot in advance when you buy the tickets. If your kids are EU citizens and under 18y old, they do not have to pay the current 30 EUR entrance fee! They get free entrance, but passports/IDs are required to proof your citizenship. You can not book these free kids tickets in advance online. So you will have to line up at the two ticket offices. Once at the office you usually wont get instant access. So plan for another 2-3 hours waiting time ahead. We went to the acropolis museum (extra 20 € pp, kids free). Try to visit the museum before you actually visit the Acropolis as you will learn a lot. Once you are on the top you will understand why this place is so special. View is spectecular and you will notice how massive the buildings must have been. Enjoy!
