Athens Acropolis and Acropolis Museum Guided Tour with Tickets

Join a small-group guided tour and enjoy an in-depth exploration of the Acropolis and its museum with skip-the-line tickets. Discover the wonders of the Parthenon and learn about Greek architecture, mythology, and history. After your Acropolis visit, explore the stunning glass-floored Acropolis Museum, which dominates the hillside.

Meet your group at the Acropolis Metro Station, just steps from the ancient site. Get to know your local, licensed guide before beginning your walk through history. Ascend Acropolis Hill to see Athens’ most iconic monument. Along the way, encounter legendary landmarks that showcase the brilliance of ancient Greece. Pass the Theater of Dionysus, birthplace of classical drama, and the grand Odeon of Herodes Atticus, still used for performances. Visit the Sanctuary of Asclepius, once a sacred healing center.

At the summit, admire the masterpieces of the Acropolis. See the imposing Propylaea, the graceful Temple of Athena Nike, and the Erechtheion with its famous Caryatids. At the center stands the Parthenon, a symbol of democracy and the Golden Age of Athens.

Your journey continues inside the Acropolis Museum, ranked among the best in the world. Designed to display original sculptures and artifacts in natural light, it offers a deeper look into ancient life. Walk on glass floors revealing excavations. Explore exhibits showing everyday Athenian life—from wedding customs to childhood toys, medical tools, and sacred rituals.

Marvel at the extraordinary Parthenon frieze, a testament to artistic excellence. See elegant Archaic statues and stand before the five original Caryatids. On the top floor, enjoy panoramic views of the Acropolis as you admire the frieze in its entirety.

After your guided tour, stay to explore more on your own. Revisit favorite galleries or relax at the café with its breathtaking view.
