What people say
Kathrine Linstrum
"Here’s everything you need to know before visiting!⤵️
🏛️During peak season (summer months) it will be busy and there’s never really a time when it won’t be busy. We tried going early (right when it opened) and it was still packed. That being said, it was still an enjoyable experience and I’m glad we went!
🏛️You should definitely purchase tickets ahead of time! There’s a line for tickets and then a line to get in. If you already have your tickets, you can skip that line!
🏛️If you are walking to the Acropolis there is a steep incline to the entrance. Once you actually get through the entrance there is more of an incline to get to the top of the hill. Just prepare for a bit of workout! You can take a taxi which will drop you off fairly close to the main entrance.
🏛️You cannot bring much into the actually sight itself. Bigger bags/backpacks, strollers, food/drink (with the exception of water) are not allowed inside!"

"The Acropolis, perched majestically on a rocky hill in the heart of Athens, is an iconic testament to the grandeur of Ancient Greece. This ancient citadel, crowned by the resplendent Parthenon, offers a glimpse into the architectural and intellectual achievements of the Greek civilization. As you ascend the sacred rock, you'll be greeted by the awe-inspiring Erechtheion, with its enchanting Caryatid statues, and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a remarkable theater that still hosts performances today. The Acropolis is not merely a collection of ruins; it's a living testament to the enduring legacy of human creativity, artistry, and cultural significance. Explore its marble temples, take in the panoramic views of Athens, and let the whispers of history envelop you as you stand amidst the relics of one of the world's greatest civilizations."

"La Acrópolis de Atenas es uno de los sitios arqueológicos más emblemáticos y reconocidos del mundo. Visitar la Acrópolis de Atenas es una experiencia inolvidable. Los visitantes tienen la oportunidad de explorar los templos antiguos, admirar la arquitectura clásica, aprender sobre la historia de la antigua Grecia y maravillarse ante la grandeza de este lugar histórico. Es un testimonio perdurable del legado cultural y arquitectónico de la antigua civilización griega.
ProTip: Si te gusta la historia, te recomiendo reservar un tour guiado porque en el sitio arqueológico hay muy poca información para que leas por tu propia cuenta. Yo cometí el error de no hacerlo y era como mirar solo ruinas y piedras. Tener la información y la explicación hará de esta una experiencia mas amena. "
