No. The Ancient Agora ticket does not include the Acropolis; to visit it, a separate ticket must be booked in advance. This bundle is two separate tickets, one for the Agora and one for the bus, confirmed together in a single booking.

The Ancient Agora is open daily. Summer hours run from 08:00 to 19:30 with last entry at 19:00, and winter hours from 08:00 to 16:30 with last entry at 16:10. September and October step down between the two in fortnightly stages. Visitors currently enter and leave through the gate on Thiseio Square, while the Adrianou entrance is redeveloped.

The Hellenic Heritage Digital Guide app is included with your Agora ticket and is available in 8 languages: Greek, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Chinese, with sign language video tours in Greek Sign Language (GSL) and International Sign (IS). The bus ticket includes multilingual audio commentary onboard. The Athens city audio guide is a separate optional add-on you can select when booking.

The Ancient Agora has partial accessibility. Some areas of the archaeological site are difficult to navigate due to uneven terrain, wheelchair access towards the Temple of Hephaestus is arranged through the Thiseio Square entrance by contacting the site in advance, and both levels of the Stoa of Attalos are wheelchair accessible. 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.
