We had an amazing time in Athens. Especially worth visiting are the little alleys.
Have a view of the Acropolis on sunset! You feel like in ancient times!
The pack was ready as advertised at the airport collection point and contained everything we needed for a four day stay in Athens, a very convenient and simply way to pack a lot in.
Finally Athens has its very own attraction card ! Visit the Acropolis and the city's landmarks stress free. Furthermore you receive plenty of discounts in museums, stores and many more.
All in all very happy with the pass.
The hop on hop off bus is recommended. Ideal for cruising through the city. The metro ticket is also a good addition. Visited almost all museums on the map. The app works well and the pass is known to the participating museums so you can quickly get in.
Museum tickets, including acropolis worth it. There is no such thing as skip the line. For acropolis you need to make a line for the tickets showing the reservation. Also for the acropolis museum.
The 2 days of hop in hop off bus are very helpful, just there is a lack of instructions or information on how and when to activate it.
Some of the options included in the pass (discounts and offers) didn't particularly interest us. For the attractions, access to the Ancient Agora and the Panthenaic Stadium is missing, to make the offer complete. Access to public transport is great, even if you have to go to the center to pick up the tickets. Over the 3 days, we were able to visit the Acropolis and its museum, and the Herakleidon Museum. We were also able to enjoy a Big Bus tour, which was a pleasant way to discover the city with explanations in French. Using the pass is quite simple. We simply encountered a bug when booking the Big Bus; but after contacting the service, the problem was resolved within the hour.
I bought the public transport add on - brilliant value - but you have to find the office issuing tickets , which is in an odd side street which looks a bit grim . Once there thought the process is easy !
We made the most of the hop on/off bus.
The Acropolis ticket doesn’t mean you don’t have to queue and don’t bother getting there early as you have to stick to your chosen time.
Goof pass for Athens. However, need to claim all the official ticket. The code given can't be use straight away.
The metro ticket office is closed in the weekend, so I can't claim my ticket at all!
Since the museums were included in the price, depending on how you book, it's fine. Check if the route to the airport is included; that's important. Use the pass; you don't need a taxi; you can get everywhere by metro, tram, and bus.
very convenient for museum access.
Tickets for acropole \"did not work\" (some possible bug issue) but were reimbursed without problems.
Everything went well with the tickets. The one-day cruise is too expensive. Otherwise OK. Collecting the bus tickets was an adventure.
The City Pass is really good. You don't have to queue, but can often just get into the sights via a "fast lane". What was a bit confusing and annoying for us was that it said that the pass was valid for 5 days. We assumed that this meant that we could go into the different sites multiple times - but that didn't work! So we visited one of the excavation sites too late and couldn't go back the next day. What a pity!!!
Skip the queue on major sites in athens, easy to book, extra island hop day was fabulous! I went with 4 day pass and broke up places to go based on location so I could do together with no fuss. Didn't use public transport much or the hop on and off bus as walking around is so easy and fun! These would be fabulous though in hotter or wet weather.
We were able to visit the different sites and museums in peace. Athens in October is good: not too hot, not too many people. Be careful: there are 2 archaeological museums and only one is on the list!
Everything we wanted to visit was included and we had no probem with the entrances.
Having also the tickets for public transport was very good. The only inconvenient was that the tickets had to be personally picked up from the public transport building.
