The experience

Explore Athens' most visited site with a smartphone guide

The Acropolis of Athens has been waiting an awfully long time for you to arrive!

See the Parthenon – the most famous ancient Greek temple ever built, dedicated to Athena, the goddess of war – and get amazing views of Athens from the rocky outcrop.

The Acropolis has been studied for centuries and, still, no one's entirely sure how they did it! Try to figure it out for yourself as you head for a solo exploration of the very cradle of Western civilization.

Snap up these Acropolis tickets and marvel at the mighty Parthenon, check out the intact amphitheater dedicated to Dionysus and pass by the ruins on the surrounding slopes on your hike to the top.

To enhance your visit, add a downloadable digital guide for either the surrounding Plaka neighborhood or the Acropolis itself to learn more about Greek history.
