Moved by the beauty of the Acropolis!

I grew up listening to ancient Greek myths, as both my parents were history teachers. It's been my dream to come to Greece and see the historical sites and monuments for myself. The Acropolis is majestic in its ancient beauty, and I was especially moved by the temple of Athena Nike — it's shocking how well-preserved it still is!

Within my budget and hassle-free visit

I was backpacking through Greece and decided to visit the Acropolis. The choice to buy an Acropolis ticket in advance was a smart move, as I had priority access and didn't lose time standing in front of the ticket office. The audio guide was really helpful, and I learned so much about ancient Greek history. The price was also good, as I am a student backpacker who travels on a budget.

DESCRIPTION

Acropolis Priority Ticket with Audio Guide

A LANDMARK OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION

Booking the Acropolis ticket with Audio Guide in advance and choosing the most convenient time slot means you get priority access to one of the most famous landmarks of Western civilization. As you ascend to the top of Acropolis Hill, be prepared to be blown away by a striking view of the best-preserved Greek citadel in the world!

MARVELOUS MARBLE MONUMENTS

After the devastation of the Persian Wars in the 5th century BC, the Acropolis was left in ruins. A huge rebuilding program followed, during which many temples and monuments were built and decorated using the famous Pentelic marble. Brought from Mt. Pentelicus, this white, fine-grain marble has an interesting property: it shines under the sunlight. That made the Acropolis even more impressive to look at!

EXPLORE THE PARTHENON

The Parthenon stands out as the most imposing structure on the Acropolis. This impressive monument leaves a lasting impression on every visitor. It was dedicated to the goddess Athena, a patron deity of the city, and built during the Golden Age of ancient Athens. Its architects were Iktinos and Callicrates, but it was the statesman Pericles who provided the resources and ordered the rebuilding effort of the entire complex. To learn all about it, make sure you upgrade to the full audio option. It will provide you with a wealth of knowledge without having to pay extra for a live guide.

AN EXTRA AUDIO TOUR IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE

After visiting the Acropolis, take the opportunity to see the original sculptures and artifacts uncovered there, just get a ticket for the Acropolis Museum to view them up close. If you'd like, you can also take a stroll through the Plaka district. This historic and picturesque part of Athens is known for its charming, narrow streets and neoclassical architectural buildings. An informative audio guide in multiple languages is included with your Acropolis Audio Guide Ticket, with no extra cost, and no worries! And once you’ve walked through Plaka, you’ll want more, so consider adding the Bike Tour Athens to your itinerary for a fun, local ride through this historic area and beyond.

PRO TIP

If you want the best panoramic photo spot of Parthenon, go to the Areopagus Hill, located just outside the Acropolis before you enter the site. Once you are standing near the main entrance gates to the Acropolis (where people line up to go inside), look slightly to the northwest. You will easily spot the large, rocky hill. To get to the top, you have 2 options:

Athenian love for Athena

When walking among the archeological sites of the Acropolis, you may notice that the goddess Athena has more than one temple dedicated to her. The main ones were the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike, but Erechtheion was also partly dedicated to her. If that wasn't enough, a colossal bronze statue was also built in her honor. The so-called 'Athena Promachos', or 'Athena who fights in the front line', was situated between Propylaea and the Parthenon.

Why was that? Why are there so many temples of the same deity in one place? The reason was that they were all dedicated to different aspects of her divine nature. Goddess Athena wasn't just the protector and a symbol of the city. Her name was associated with heroism, victory, wisdom, and skill in warfare. She was also known as an unmarried woman, a virgin, or, in ancient Greek, Parthenos. Notice the resemblance to the word Parthenon?

The Temple of Athena Nike highlighted the victorious nature of the goddess, as the grateful Athenians believed it was her love of their city that ensured their many victories. Erechtheum, also known as the Temple of Athena Polias, literally translates as „Protectress of the City." The citizens of ancient Athens truly felt a deep connection to this deity.

FAQ – Acropolis Ticket with Audio Guide

Which languages are supported by the audio guide?

The audio guide app is available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Polish, Dutch, Portuguese, and Turkish.

What is the recommended time frame for the entire Acropolis visit?

To make the most of your visit, we recommend about 2–3 hours. That is enough time to cover the entire historical landmark. However, the Acropolis Ticket with Audio Guide grants you access for an entire day; the choice is yours! If timing and structure matter to you, consider booking one of the guided Acropolis tours for a more organized experience.

Are there any restrooms on the Acropolis?

Of course, they are easy to locate. You will find them by the main entrance, by the side entrance (Dionysus Theater), and on top of the Acropolis by the old museum. There is also a restaurant where you can buy snacks or drinks.

How do I get to the Acropolis?

The best way is by using public transportation. If you want to use the metro, line 2 has a station named 'Acropoli'. It is a short walk from there to the entrance of the Acropolis. If a city bus or trolley is more convenient, then go to the Makrigianni bus station. If a tram is more convenient for you, then the nearest station to the Acropolis is 'Leoforos Vouliagmenis'.

What other attractions should I see while I'm in Athens?

We definitely recommend visiting the Acropolis Museum tour. It holds artifacts, reliefs, and one-of-a-kind marble statues that represent the peak of ancient Greek art. You can easily get there with the Athens Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour, which stops right nearby and connects you to other key sites around the city. If you're interested in Greek mythology and want to learn more about the ancient gods and what role they played in people's daily lives, we suggest booking the Athens Mythology Tour.
