The Acropolis, the “sacred rock” of Athens, is recognizable from the air, various viewpoints in the city, or from the history books of your childhood. It’s a worldwide symbol of the Golden Age of ancient Greek civilization. Here, you’ll find major portions of Doric temples and other architectural masterpieces, as well as the remnants of sculptures and carvings from the 5th century B.C. The first thing you’ll see is the Propylaea, the monumental gray and white entrance building to the Acropolis. Guards were stationed here to protect this sacred area dedicated to Athena, the patron deity of ancient Athens. Slaves, runaways an other undesirables were turned away here, so that they couldn’t seek protection by the gods in the inner sanctuary. Anyone who appreciates history, art, and story-telling will have no trouble spending an entire day at the Acropolis. Make sure to bring plenty of water and wear comfortable shoes, as you’ll be likely be hiking uphill and in the hot sun for parts of the day. Some of the "don’t-miss" highlights include the Temple of Athena Nike, the Parthenon, and the new Acropolis Museum. When you’re ready for lunch, head along the tree-lined paths and relax on the benches in the park surrounding the main archeological site. Refreshments are available there, but it’s more cost-effective to bring snacks and water from a nearby store. Guides can always be found for a price near the ticket kiosk. You can also buy a guidebook and take a self-tour. The Acropolis rises from the city center and is accessible by public transportation. The admission fee covers all structures on the archeological site and it’s open daily. Get there early to avoid the year-round crowds and the heat of summer. ## Plan a trip to see Acropolis Price found within the past 48 hours.

destination 5 - Excellent 234 4 - Good 67 3 - Okay 11 2 - Disappointing 0 1 - Terrible 2 ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller A must visit ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller Wear shoes with a good grip ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveller A combined ticket costing E30 gives access to the Acropolis and 6 other historic sites - good value. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller Go early in the day to beat the crowds. Also check website, as some days it is free to enter. We didn't know this, but lucky for us when we visited it was free to enter. Take water and wear sensible flat shoes. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller MArble is very slippery so wear sensible shoes! I landed on my jacksie! ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveller €20 to go to the top, but you can get a nice view walking around..its not as high as you think! ### Popular places to visit ![Parthenon](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/1/2ed876f836767f1b9eecf01713806b6e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Parthenon Step back in time and explore the ancient myths etched into the walls of the largest Doric temple in Greece, originally dedicated to the warrior goddess Athena.
