What to expect
Ascend the Acropolis to witness the historic temples, then go down the hill to view the original sculptures housed at the Acropolis Museum. On this tour, take in the must-see sights of Athens so you can cross them off your list of "must-do things in Athens"!
This tour of the Acropolis begins at the south entrance and takes you first to the Dionysos theater. Explore the site of the creation of the ancient Greek theater. Ascend the sunny, southern slope of the Acropolis hill, and pass the ruins of Athens' first clinic and the Herodion.
Before you reach the top of the Acropolis, pass through this imposing entrance gate and marvel at the Propylaea. Views of the Parthenon, Erechteion, and Nike Temple can be seen from this location. Learn why these monuments were built and discover the strategies the architects employed to construct them.
The Acropolis tour ends on the hill where you have some free time to take pictures. Afterwards, the guide takes you to the Acropolis Museum.
The Acropolis is one of the most famous sites from antiquity, but the monuments there only really capture your imagination if you have also seen the original sculptures.
