It is a place if tremendous beauty and history rolled into one, it is without doubt a magnificent achievement and seeing the stones in reality, certainly steeps you into their past lives and tragedy. There is a fair amount of uphill walking and little in terms of reading material. Staff quite aggressive when one accidentally walks to a restricted pet, which happens to be unmarked
Einfach SUPER!!! Die Sonne scheint da oben, wir hatten keine Wartezeit, trotz viel Tourismus war es einfach herrlich! Und die Aussicht auf die ganze Stadt!! 🥰 Auch im Winter bei 25 Grad. Ich würde es jedem empfehlen 🥰
Beautiful archeological site. Graffiti isn’t as bad as with the rest of Athens and no smell of urine. Humans have left their mark however. That said, the acropolis is beautiful. Let’s face it, you have to go. There are throngs of people of course, so if you want cool pictures, go super early or be tall like me and you can cut out most of them.
Ein absolutes Muss wenn man Athen besucht! Das Wahrzeichen von Griechenland das eigentlich jeder kennt. Er wird seit Jahren saniert und restauriert. Viele Infos dazu bekommt man im Akropolis Museum was man vorher besuchen sollte. Dank eines Schrägaufzugs auf der Nordseite ist die Akropolis auch Barriere frei.
You feel an energy and view of life ina different vibe, vital. I visited a morning at 1 o clock in February with not so much noise and people. The weather was wonderful....
Lovely to visit and see remnants of the Roman past. Site is huge with a gentle climb up to the top. There is lots to see at the top views and buildings. Worth a visit if in the area.
Truly beautiful experience. It's astonishing when one realizes the significance of this historical monument. Worth the visit; I would recommend having a guided tour as there are so many things to learn and so little time. I would also recommend buying tickets beforehand (online) but from the official government website (hhticket.gr).
One of the most beautiful buildings in world history. A must see when in Athens. Beautiful views of the city and stunning architecture. Short walk down to the markets and Roman agora. Great food and shopping nearby with rooftop bars. Love it.
What can I say that hasn't been said? Amazing historical ruins! But be careful if you have mobility issues - there are lots of steep and uneven steps and walking surfaces.
A historical site you must visit when in Athens. Buy a combination ticket for 6 sites for 34/36€, but take into account you will need to select a time to visit the Acropolis site. When more than 15 min early, you will be turned away by the staff at the gate.
History! Fantastic place! Must see! Good to see the progress of rebuilding these beautiful buildings! A lifetime memory for every visitor! Highly recommended to come and see if you are in Athens. Buy your ticket online and come early as the heat can rise high and the crowds of people.
Went late afternoon as suggested... and the crowd was definitely thinner than I had seen in other people's photos.... but still busy obviously.
Took about 2-3 hours of time to do... also sat for a while at times because it was hot... and just wanted to take it all is, being where I was.
Beautiful place to be.
Definitely not to be missed.
Fantastic views of the city from edges.
They are busy with preservation and reconstruction of the site, so there is scaffolding all about. But honestly, this is a big job in progress, so if you don't want to see that, it will be years before it's completed. So go anyway.
I had bought my combination ticket, at the Ancient Agora site, so I was able to skip the ticket queue, and there was only 2 people in front of me, I highly recommend getting your ticket at one of the less busy sights. It is Hot up there in the Autumn still, so take extra sunscreen with.... and a Hat.
There are Water fountains to refill your water bottle and toilets at the top.
There was a Water vending machine too, but it wasn't working.

Beautiful landmarks and views, informative signs. Don’t visit mid-afternoon because it gets too hot and crowded. Otherwise just wear sunscreen
Went back to the Motherland in July (the same week as the heat wave). Didn’t matter had a superb time even with the crowds.
FYI - water is super expressive inside the Parthenon so bring your own or pay up.
It is amazing what the Athenians were able to build and being able to walk around and absorb the ancient history is truly inspiring.
I was able to get some early morning photos which added to the beauty.
I did not buy tickets in advance and I think it only set me back 15 minutes.
FYI - If you are a student or you are traveling with kids bring your kid’s passport to get the student discount. This is to show the age. No negotiation whatsoever. My son is 16 and had his student ID. Didn’t matter, no passport, no discount. So, I had to pay the full price for him.

Stunning to see in person, incredible to be there. You can feel the history and will end up spending a lot more time than you'd expect. Views of Athens are a bonus
