Athens

Plan around timed tickets for the Acropolis and its museum, with practical notes for your first days in the city.

Athens is easier if you plan your day around the Acropolis entry slot. The site uses timed tickets, and in winter it closes at 17:00, so an early slot leaves time for the Acropolis Museum and the Ancient Agora nearby. The museum needs its own ticket and stays open later on Fridays and weekends. Use the ticket guides under Plan your visit, then build the rest of the day around them.
