Does The Athens City Pass Save Time?

Short answer is yes but it going to same like booking the separate tickets online before you actually step foot into Athens . I really am not fond of travelling in Europe and exploring places which I want to explore and standing in the queue for hours just to take the tickets and then again another hour in the queue to finally see the attraction.

In the Venice Pass Review I talked about the same thing because when I visited St Marks Bascillica I was so happy that I booked the ticket online well before hand which saved me around 1.5 hours from the queue for just the tickets.

Tip! I tend to also book the skip the line ticket because it helps you to directly access the attraction without standing in the normal queue just for couple of bucks.

Since all the tickets which you get under the Athens City Pass are the fast track or skip the line ticket then it will for sure help you to save the time. The options is same as these stand alone tickets which we have pulled and shared above in the table as they are also skip the line tickets.

Does The Athens City Pass Save Money?

Like I have talked in other Europe Pass Review that city pass are saving money, Athens city pass is an awesome deal as you save 3.5 Euro per person, and the extra 10% discount is cherry of the cake.

How Much Time Do You Need In Athens ?

I always recommend the city pass for a shorter trip with a limited time to explore. Because in that case you can save every minute in just exploring the top attraction rather than just standing there in the queue to wait for your turn.

That was all the information around Athens City pass to help you understand if the Athens city pass is worth your money or not. For me it was and I was happy to buy that. I leave it upon you to decide what to do further.
