There is no more that I can add to this iconic spot. Apparently, there are two routes you can use to get to the top. Unfortunately, the map you get from the tourist information office doesn't show where they are! So you could walk a long way to get to the one you want.

Went here as part of a tour. Wasn't originally happy that we had to arise so early but, in the end, it was a wise decision since it was cooler and less crowded. Our tickets were pre-purchased which is a good idea. Lots of climbing stone steps and stairs to get to the top. I'm a Senior and was able to do it but with caution. A cafe was located right off the parking lot and we went there afterwards for a cool drink.

Incredible experience on our date with history! The ruins of this historic site are truly magnificent. It'll get you a good understanding of the life and times of the era and you'd have immense appreciation. Few important tips: 1. Book your tickets in advance. You can buy combo ticket as it saves you lot of money. 2. Do take the audio guide if you are not taking a conducted tour. Knowing the history of the place is important for you to be able to appreciate all that is there. Audio guides are relatively inexpensive and you can download on your mobile phone in advance. 3. Pls do visit FIRST thing in the morning as the monument opens. At this time the crowds are still manageable. The crowds swell during the mid day and this place does get a loooot of people. Also, it's very sunny and hot during mid day. 4. Do carry water. If you get it there you'll be paying 5 times the price. 5. Sun caps and shades are a must. Umbrella / raincoats if the forecast is for rains. Do remember to wear comfortable footwear, high heels are a no no as it's a climb on uneven surface. Lot of restoration / renovation work was going on when we visited in Jun'23. Not an issue otherwise but this hampered our photos though :( To conclude, if need be, visiting Athens just to see Acropolis is also worth it!

We purchased our tickets on line prior to our visit and although we still had to line-up for entry it reduced the time to also line-up for entry! GO when it opens and arrive early the line grows VERY quickly! By going early you can avoid the massive crowds and beat the heat! It did not disappoint and we were there for 2 hours ,

This place was amazing! It was busy but felt there was plenty of space to see everything and get photos. The new timed entry system seems to be working well. There were also plenty of toilets and plenty of places to get water. Before coming I was nervous about the walk up, especially as some of the reviews and comments here and online generally made it sound like a prison march! If you're also nervous let me reassure you, it was absolutely fine. No one was forcing you up to the top and there were plenty of places to stop and rest. I would say it was more hill than stairs but with most of the stairs at the beginning and the end. I don't like walking up hills and I generally choose a lift of stairs. I'm also not particularly fit but this was honestly fine. Wear trainers rather than sandals, it can be slippery on the smooth marble and in areas it's uneven.

Even in the shoulder season of mid September this site is popular so queues and waiting is the nature of the visit. The site itself is special and really is one of the wonders of the past so well worth the effort. Great views of the city and the ancient Agora from here as well. As mentioned earlier the queues to buy enter tickets can be very long, the 30€ 5 day 7 sites entry ticket which unless you only want to do the Acropolis Slopes in 1 day (20€) is what you are looking for we brought ours at the Columns of the Olympian Zeus one of the 7 sites where there was no queue.

We went here around 4pm, prebooked through a bus company for cheaper tickets for the site. Grabbed a bottle of water, which was 75cents, which was very cheap. Headed to the gate with our skip the line tickets. There were a few who had to wait, but we got straight in, which was great. The site was massive and worth the money! We spent about 2 hours exploring all the sites and because it wasn't as busy as usual it was a nice calm atmosphere! Really worth a visit

There is a lot of good information in the reviews below. The only recommendations that I would like to add is to wear sneakers (athletic shoes) because the terrain is rough in spots and the steps can be slippery. It was windy at the top, so I was glad my hat had a draw string on it to keep it from blowing off. Bring water as suggested. It’s definitely worth seeing, even with all the crowds. After all, it’s the Acropolis!

We booked tickets through ‘Headout’ online and the process was so easy. The tickets we bought were no more than that they sell direct, we had to download audio guides which was fine. No queues when we arrived (2pm) (was hot but water refill at the top). The views are amazing, this is a must do.

Go early in the day to avoid the crowds and heat. Get your tickets online, don't wait to buy them there. The line was really long. (We had our tickets in advance and walked right past everyone else.) Once up to the top, it was a sight I'd been waiting my whole life to see. So historic, so beautiful, and a dream realized for me. they are still (and maybe forever) reinforcing areas to keep it standing, so construction noises and workers are in most of my pictures. But, I'm glad they are trying to preserve it for generations to come.
