Cost/Budget: $0 (€0 EUR)
Location: Acropolis, Athens 116 36, Greece
Notes:

[ Google Review ] Stunning view. Amazing view of not only the Parthenon, the other temples and some nice description of the Acropolis itself. You can get an audio tour if you're interested. Make sure to let them know if you're under 25, to get some discount (non-EU) or free (EU). Otherwise, just get the tickets online to skip the queue. The ticketing staff was really rude to me when I was buying the ticket, throwing the tickets, documents and changes back at me. The Acropolis is filled with people so be careful while walking and be considerate with each other. The Parthenon area especially will be crowded. DON'T TOUCH THE MARBLE, ANYWHERE. Take your time and do not obstruct any path. Wear light clothing and walking shoes, as there will be a lot of climbing. With the addition of the concrete floors (which the locals aren't too happy about), it isn't too slippery, but still be careful while walking as some of the rocks are still slippery. Bring lots of water and sunscreen during sunny weather. P.S. I wish the Temple of Athena Niki should have more spotlight, instead of just another temple we can walk past. It's one of the earliest temples you will walk past on the way to the Parthenon. :)

[ Google Review ] We quite enjoyed our stay here. We came as a family and already had our tickets booked. We also had an audio tour guide booked trough get your Guide. That worked quite good and we were able to spent a nice afternoon looking at the expositions. The museum is quite big and is lovely organized. The small garden was quite lovely as well.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] No wait when going early in the morning. The Temple of Hephaestus is spectacular. The rest of the area is not as preserved, but being able to walk the same paths as Socrates, Paul, Alexander, Aristotle and many others. Google maps works well for finding the main entrance. The site is fenced off and has only one entrance and exit. Good museum with artifacts recovered at this site. Tickets were €10 in September 2022.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Beautiful buildings and stunning views, some works going on but you can still visit everything. Definitely worth visiting if you're an EU citizen u25 as entrance is free and if you're not EU, it's reduced to 10 euros. Huge crowds and some waiting time to get in so be warned.
