Acropolis of Athens Visitor Information

Prepare for a timed entrance, a real climb and an archaeological site whose routes or facilities may vary with conditions. Confirm current instructions with the official operator before travelling.

Timed entry and terrain

The official ticket store currently offers timed admission. Select the date and slot shown for your visit and follow the displayed entry instructions. The hill is steep in places, and surfaces are historic and uneven; wear suitable footwear and leave margin around your planned arrival.

Accessibility and the museum

Official accessibility provision includes a lift for visitors with mobility impairments, but availability depends on operating conditions. Check with the site in advance. The nearby Acropolis Museum is separate, with its own ticket and visit.

See official ticket guidance, read the history and restoration overview and check current notices at the official Hellenic Heritage site.
