Acropolis & Parthenon Tickets with Audio Guide

About this experience

Book Acropolis and Parthenon tickets in Athens Book Acropolis and Parthenon tickets in Athens when you want timed entry to the UNESCO citadel, with a choice of an audio guide, an Acropolis Museum add-on, or a 2-hour live tour. The rock sits about 150 metres above the centre. Your ticket covers the main monuments on and around the hill: the Parthenon, the Propylaea gateway, the Erechtheion, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and the Theatre of Dionysus Eleuthereus on the south slope. The Parthenon is a Doric temple more than 2,500 years old, dedicated to Athena. From the Propylaea you look down over modern Athens, and the Erechtheion is known for its Caryatid columns. If you prefer to walk at your own pace rather than stay with a group, an audio option lets you take the circuit in your own time. What each ticket option includes Every option includes timed entry to the Acropolis. There are four ways to book. The immersive audio guide option adds a phone-based guide for the hill in English, French, Spanish, or Italian. The museum option adds Acropolis Museum entry, including the underground excavation of an ancient neighbourhood, plus a historian-written app guide for the Acropolis in English, French, German, Spanish, or Italian with offline narration and a map. The Old Town option includes an English audio walk through Plaka, but no audio guide for the Acropolis itself. The guided tour option adds a 2-hour tour with a licensed English-speaking guide and headsets. Check the option name at checkout so you know exactly what you are buying. If you want a small-group or private briefing on the hill, compare Acropolis and Parthenon guided tours with entry tickets. If the sculptures matter as much as the architecture, look at Acropolis Museum skip-the-line tickets as a separate visit. Planning your visit Entry runs on timed slots. Arrive about 30 minutes early for security and ticket checks; you can enter up to 15 minutes before or after your slot. Opening hours are seasonal and shorter in winter, so choose from the times shown at checkout. Show your mobile voucher with a valid photo ID or passport at the entrance. Only small backpacks or handbags are allowed, and drones, tripods, and professional photography equipment are not. Transfers, food, and drinks are not included, and you need your own phone and earphones for the audio guides. Download the app before you arrive; it needs around 200 to 250 MB. The Acropolis has limited accessibility. There is an elevator near the south slope entrance, but it is operated by the site and may not be available, so call ahead the day before to confirm. Many paths are uneven marble and rock, and shade is limited. The Acropolis Museum is fully accessible with elevators and ramps. Go early if you can: morning light is clearer and the marble is cooler before midday. Browse more things to do in Athens if this ticket is one stop in a wider day.

Before you go

Before your visit to the Acropolis, be sure to bring sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable shoes. Wear light and breathable clothing, and consider bringing a refillable water bottle. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled tour time to allow for security checks and ticket collection. The Acropolis is partially wheelchair accessible, but some areas may be difficult to navigate due to uneven terrain.
