"Overlooking Athens You can’t miss the Parthenon, the majestic ruin towering above Athens . Originally painted in vivid hues, this feat of architecture, engineering, and artistry is still as awe-inspiring as it was almost 2,500 years ago. Le Corbusier, pioneer of modernism, called it the most “ruthlessly flawless” monument in the world. Hold on to your admission ticket: It’s valid for several other archaeological sites on the slopes surrounding the Acropolis, including the Agora and theater of Dionysus."

I came on a weekday, but it was still crowded because it was the end of the travel season,The view overlooking the city of Athens, a magnificent structure, was magical. Although there was nothing exciting, I was glad to have seen it with my own eyes. The birthplace of civilization, the oldest city, the once prosperous and powerful city in the world.

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.

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.

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.

One of the coolest places you could ever visit. Lots of amazing historic structures and expansive views of Athens.

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 Acropolis/Parthenon experience was nice. The climb up wasn’t so bad (just kind slippery floors and wear shoes with good grip). We bought tickets a day prior for the 6pm slot and were allowed in at 5.45pm. The good: Overall a pretty place. As a history buff, it was a special experience to be standing at a place where so much history was made. Got some nice photos of the structures against the evening sun. There were shaded spots here and there for some respite from the sun. The bad: The €30 ticket price. It isn’t justified given that there are a lot of works actively being done inside. There were a lot of scaffolding and machinery around. The structures were also cordoned off. You just feel like a visitor going through the area and snapping pictures instead of feeling like you’re really experiencing what it must have been like to be up at the Acropolis back then. Some may be okay with this, but I just feel a €20 ticket would make more sense.

Classic ancient landmark you should never miss it in trip of Athens. Tickets available over the counter and suggest to get yours in advance from official online portal. The lady said whichever ticket selling higher than €30 is a scam.
