The detail

What's at Acropolis of Athens

The combined ticket (5 days) also covers the Ancient Agora, Hadrian's Library and more — good value if you're in Athens a few days. The main west entrance is crowded; the east entrance (by the Theatre of Dionysus) is quieter.

In summer it's very hot with no shade — go at opening or two hours before closing, with a hat and water. The rock is slippery-smooth; wear closed shoes. The Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill completes the visit.

Booking online skips the ticket queue and usually gives a timed entry. Keep the ticket on your phone and printed.
