Acropolis Museum & Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tickets

The easiest way to reach the museum is the Metro, stopping at Acropolis Station (Line 2), only a short walk from the entrance.

Public buses 24, 40 and 230 run from central Athens to the area.

Parking spaces are limited around the museum, so public transport is highly recommended.

The bus meets at Pl. Sintagmatos 210, Athina 105 63 (Syntagma Square). Enter that address in your maps app or give it to your taxi driver; taxis are widely available throughout Athens.

Your bus ticket gives unlimited access to the hop-on hop-off buses on the Athens Line, which take you around the city's main sights. The brochure with a detailed map and useful tips that comes with the ticket shows the stops, so check it to pick the one that suits your plans.

It covers admission to the Acropolis Museum with its permanent and temporary exhibitions, the Parthenon Gallery and the archaeological excavation site beneath the building, plus unlimited access to the hop-on hop-off buses on the Athens Line. The museum holds over 4,000 artifacts, including the Caryatids, the original Parthenon Frieze and the statues of the Archaic Gallery.

No. The bundle covers the Acropolis Museum and the bus, as two separate tickets confirmed in a single booking. Entry to the Acropolis archaeological site and to other museums or monuments is not part of it. The museum stands just 300 meters from the Parthenon.

Large bags and backpacks must be left at the cloakroom on entry, and food and drinks are not permitted inside the galleries. Please do not touch the exhibits. Photography and video are allowed in most areas, except inside the Archaic Gallery, where delicate sculptures still show traces of ancient color.

The museum is fully accessible, with ramps at the entrances, elevators and accessible restrooms on every floor. Wheelchairs can be borrowed free of charge from the Visitor Services Desk, and strollers at the ground-floor cloakroom. Family trails and activity backpacks are also available to borrow. Children under 6 can join the hop-on hop-off bus for free, with no need to select a ticket for them. This rule applies to the bus only.

You open the Acropolis Museum audio guide by scanning the QR codes displayed in the museum, and the bus ticket includes multilingual audio commentary onboard. The Athens city audio guide app is a separate optional add-on you can select when booking.
