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 the Museum with skip-the-line tickets. Explore the wonders of the Parthenon and discover Greek architecture, mythology, and history. Once your Acropolis tour is complete, visit the stunning, glass-floored Acropolis Museum, which dominates the hillside.

Meet your small group at the conveniently located Acropolis Metro Station, just steps away from the ancient site itself. Get acquainted with your local, professionally licensed guide before beginning your walk through history. Ascend Acropolis Hill to explore Athens’ most iconic monument. Along the way, encounter legendary landmarks that reveal the cultural brilliance of ancient Greece. Pass the ancient Theater of Dionysus, where classical drama was born, and the grand Odeon of Herodes Atticus, still used for performances today. Visit the Sanctuary of Asclepius, once a sacred healing center.

At the summit, take in the architectural masterpieces of the Acropolis: the imposing Propylaea, the graceful Temple of Athena Nike, and the Erechtheion with its famous Caryatids. At the heart of it all stands the Parthenon, a symbol of democracy and a lasting tribute to the Golden Age of Athens.

Your journey continues inside the Acropolis Museum—hailed as one of the best museums in the world. Designed to showcase the original sculptures and artifacts from the Acropolis in stunning natural light, it offers a deeper look into ancient life. Walk on glass floors revealing archaeological excavations and explore exhibits that bring everyday Athens to life—from wedding customs and childhood toys to medical tools and sacred rituals.

Marvel at the original and extraordinary Parthenon frieze, a testament to conceptual brilliance and artistic excellence. Let the beauty of the surroundings and the stories etched in stone transport you to the heart of ancient Greece’s grandeur. Admire the elegant Archaic statues and stand in awe before the five original Caryatids. On the museum’s top floor, enjoy panoramic views of the Acropolis as you explore the remarkable Parthenon frieze, a masterpiece of classical art.

After your guided tour ends, you’re welcome to stay and explore the museum further on your own, revisit favorite galleries, or relax at the café with its breathtaking view.
