Easy to use, transport ticket received in advance by mail, departure in peace.
This is the second time I've used the Athen's City Pass. The first time was almost 2 years ago. I was with a group of 6, and we all enjoyed the attractions that were included and the hop on hop off bus for 2 days. A+ then, and A+ this time! This time, it was just 2 of us, and we didn't have to go to a special location to pick the pass up - it was emailed with a QR code, and that was good for everything. No hassles, and more things than we could possibly see in 2 days.
You can see the main tourist attractions at a low cost. It's really worth it!!!
I loved having the pass, it was totally worth it. Except a lot of the places did not know how to use this or what they needed to do. But it was well worth it especially for the on and off bus, nice to get out of the heat in nice a/c.
I bought the tariff 18-25 for 2 days and went to see many lovely places. The New Acropolis Museum is a MUST-see and I also enjoyed the ride on the bus for 2 days. Athens is beautiful and the acropolis is just stunning. The Athens City Pass has a good price for young travellers like me and you can safe money.
Mind you that for non-EU-citizens you will be charged at the acropolis entrance even when you are under 25 years. For us it was free and we only had to present our ID and got the free entrance.
I had bought the Athens City Pass for 5 days without public transport and without a day cruise. For my trip that was completely sufficient to make the one 6 days good. I used over 80% of the options offered and thus the price-performance ratio was appropriate. I look forward to the next pass that will complete my trip.
I booked the turbo pass for 5 days and 3 days of local transport. My first highlight was of course the Acropolis, QR code did not work either printed or on the smartphone. Called 2 minutes later, a new one was perfect from then on. The turbo pass included a Hop on Hop off ticket with the yellow buses, thanks to Corona the yellow buses did not run, but the red buses did. Email to Turbopass. Answer: Buy a ticket on the red buses for 2 days, take a photo of the bill and the money was back in my account. People, in times of Corona not everything is going smoothly. Turbopass was there absolutely hard !!!!!
This is the most practical thing you can buy and there is one good reason for that: You can safe more than 60€. and you get to see plenty of interesting museums, parks, galleries, you even have a discount in some souvenir shops and restaurants.
In a nutshell, an excellent choice!
Everything is OK.
Without public transport and hop on hop off, you could never experience Athens as much as we had. The entries worked well, except for the Acropolis, because we had to walk about 1 km to pick up the cards. We had the city pass all inclusive. You might be able to save a lot on single purchase, but it is convenient if you can get on and off anywhere (including airport transfer) for 5 days without worrying about anything. It saves a lot of time and so you can really enjoy the city fully. In addition, we had dream weather despite the end of November, so the visit to Athens was a great experience. We also visited Rome, Barcelona, Hamburg, Berlin etc. with the City Pass and will get to know other cities in this way as well.
We used our Athens pass for the open top tour buses and to gain entry into some of the museums - the queue to the archeological museum in particular was quite long, and was beneficial to us because my husband is disabled; this allowed us to get ahead and not have to stand waiting long. I achieved a life-long ambition - went up to the Parthenon in my 60th birthday!! One more crossed off the bucket list.
We were in Athens for 4 full days so we decided to take a 2 day Athens City Pass (All inclusive) with One Day Cruise to three islands. Hop on hop off buses were the greatest use to us. It was very easy to see the city and to get from one point to the other, whether it was city center or the beach side of Athens. They very precise and the staff was extremely helpful! Besides the main attraction we highly recommend going to the sea side and seeing breathtaking riviera of Athens. If you are searching for a bar/coffee place/restaurant with an amazing view and great drink/food choice and service at reasonable price then we definitely recommend Oceanis Bar at Vouliagmeni Beach. Besides the most famous attraction of Acropolis and it's Acropolis museum, we definitely recommend going to Keramikos archaeological sight with it's very own small but attractive museum. We found that Keramikos museum was more interesting and more beautiful to experience than Acropolis museum. Besides that, we were mesmerized by Academy of Athens which was not at all very crowded but definitely worth visiting and seeing! You will find it's a very good spot for taking pictures without all the tourists being in the background. From all the restaurants we have visited, our favorite was The Greco's Project and our favorite ice cream place was DaVinci where you get even more than you can eat for an extremely good price.
Nothing beats the ability to skip long lines and have most entries already paid for!
Me and my wife bought the pass and we saved a lot of time on entering. This pass really helps a lot.
Really good pass covered so many attractions and the your bus was a fantastic bonus, definitely 10/10 :)
We didn't lose time waiting for buying the tickets in several places. It was great!
Starting from the highlight Acropolis but also the other historic temples and buildings are worth seeing, next to the museums and squares. With the Athens City Pass you have many opportunities to get to know the city.
