Why visit the Acropolis?

  • A symbol of democracy: the Acropolis was the heart of the city-state of Athens, the cradle of democracy. Its monuments bear witness to the power and wealth of this civilization.
  • Exceptional architecture: the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaea... Each building is a masterpiece of classical Greek architecture. Their perfect proportions and detailed carvings bear witness to the genius of Greek architects.
  • A breathtaking panorama: From the top of the Acropolis, you'll have a panoramic view of the city of Athens and the Aegean Sea. It's a sight not to be missed!
  • A journey back in time: A visit to the Acropolis takes you centuries back in time. You can imagine the religious processions, popular assemblies and daily life of the Athenians.
  • A source of inspiration: The Acropolis has inspired many artists, writers and philosophers. A visit to the Acropolis will help you understand why it has had such an influence on Western culture.

Make the most of your visit

  • Book your tickets in advance, especially in high season, to avoid long queues at the ticket offices and to choose the time of your visit. 
  • To discover the Sanctuary of Dionysus and the Acropolis of Athens in complete freedom, there's nothing better than an audio guide on your smartphone.
  • Choose the right time: early morning, but it's very crowded. Late afternoon is a good time to visit the Acropolis, as it's less crowded and the light is softer. 
  • Bring comfortable shoes: you'll be walking a lot on uneven ground.
  • Protect yourself from the sun and light: a hat is not a luxury, and sunglasses + sunscreen are a must, especially in the summer.
  • Stay hydrated: Very exposed and with very little shade available, staying well hydrated is a big tip. Bring plenty of bottled water, as it can get very hot and there aren't many dispensers.

  • Temple of Nike Apteros Monument: This small temple dedicated to the goddess of victory, Nike, is famous for its strategic location overlooking the city.

The sacred promontory of Athens Acropolis
Eternal symbol of the power of Athens

The Acropolis Rock is an imposing promontory that rises some 156 meters above sea level, majestically overlooking the city of Athens. Visible from nearly every corner of the Greek capital, this natural limestone outcrop is not just a geologic monument, it is the cradle of Athenian civilization. Its vast, flat plateau has served as a sacred and strategic site, since prehistoric times and is home to some of the most famous monuments of antiquity, including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. The rock, sculpted by wind and the passage of time, is surrounded by steep slopes that were once fortified to protect the treasures it shelters. A timeless testament to human ingenuity and the quest for beauty and wisdom, the Acropolis is both a theater of history and a symbol of the power of ancient Greece. It is one of Greece's greatest historical and architectural treasures. For a long time, this sacred site served as a citadel to protect the Athenians from invaders, but the Acropolis was also a sanctuary dedicated to the gods, and in particular to Athena, the city's patron goddess. Today, the majestic ruins of the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and other temples bear witness to the past splendor of this extraordinary archaeological site. 

Athens Acropolis, jewel of antiquity

The Acropolis is much more than an archeological site. It is a testament to the art, culture and power of the ancient Greek civilization. Perched on a hill overlooking the city of Athens, this citadel was the religious and political heart of the city-state, for centuries.

Athenian Democracy Symbol

The Acropolis was the heart of Athens, the cradle of democracy. The power and wealth of this civilization are reflected in its monuments. It was in the 5th century B.C., under the reign of Pericles, that the Acropolis reached its apogee after the Medieval Wars.

Exceptional architecture

The buildings of the Acropolis are masterpieces of Classical Greek architecture. The Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaea and the Temple of Nike Apteros are all monuments to the genius of Greek architects.

The city in a 360° panorama

From the top of the Acropolis, besides the magnificence of the monuments, you'll enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the city of Athens and the Aegean Sea. It is a breathtaking spectacle that you do not want to miss!
