The Athenian Acropolis is the hill looking over the city of Athens and is home to some of the city’s most important archaeological sites. From the Parthenon, a temple to Athena which has become a symbol of Greece, to the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike, and with an incredible view of the city below, there’s lots to see at the Acropolis! The site can get busy so book a skip-the-line ticket to save time.

5 Tips for Visiting the Acropolis

1
The right shoesWear sturdy shoes, as you’ll have to climb a hill and the site has uneven paths throughout. The marble paths can also be slippery in the rain so take care if you get caught in a downpour!

2
Don't forget sun protectionMake sure that you dress for the weather, as the hilltop is exposed to the elements! There’s very little shade, so bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and bottled water in summer, or escape to the Acropolis Museum (requires a separate ticket) for air conditioning and the chance to see some of the original sculptures.
3
Respect the excavationsDon't climb on or touch the buildings! The security guards are extremely vigilant and will intervene if they think you might break any of the site’s rules for visitors.
4
Be there on timeArrive early, especially in summer. The Acropolis is the most popular site in Athens and gets very busy throughout the day, plus you’ll miss the worst of the heat in July and August.
5
Doing your researchThere’s limited signage at the site, so don’t expect a huge amount of context for what you’re seeing. It can be helpful to bring a guide book or to do some research before your visit.
