🏛️ Acropolis of Athens
Athens, Greece
Best time: April–June and September–October, avoiding the fierce summer sun
The cradle of Western civilisation, where the Parthenon has stood on its hill for 2,500 years, looking out over Athens to the Aegean.
Good to know
- Book a timed entry and go at the 8 am opening while it's cool.
- Filopappou Hill opposite is the place for sunset photos of the Acropolis.
