With skip-the-line admission to the Acropolis Museum in Athens, you can view an Acropolis made of LEGO bricks, stroll among ancient statues that have all kept their hues, see treasures that have been discovered, and more.

Relics from the Temple of Athena Nike, votive offerings, and sculptures showing the conflict between the Gods of Olympus and the Giants may all be found in this fascinating museum. Don’t forget to glance up at the Propylaia’s coffered ceiling when standing on the parapet of the Athena Nike temple. This area is a Greek odyssey housed in a structure.

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 time. The options are the 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?

As I have talked about in other Europe Pass Reviews that city passes are saving money, Athens city pass is is not a good deal because you will pay around 1.5 € more when you take the Athens pass compared to stand-alone tickets.

It would only make sense if you want to book something extra in Athens which would be more than 15€ or so.

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 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.
