Acropolis Museum tickets 2026: 20 euros full, 10 reduced

The Acropolis Museum charges 20 euros for a full adult ticket in 2026 and 10 euros for the reduced ticket, according to the museum's own plan your visit page.

Full, reduced and free

The museum publishes a single price for the whole year, so there is no summer surcharge and no cheaper winter rate. The 10 euro reduced ticket is tied to named categories rather than open to anyone who asks, and the same page lists a further set of visitors who enter free. Tickets are sold through the museum's own online shop and at the entrance, and the published price is the same either way.

Hours and closures that cost money

From 1 November to 31 March the museum opens 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Thursday, until 10 pm on Friday and until 8 pm at weekends, with last entry 30 minutes before closing. From 1 April to 31 October it opens until 8 pm Tuesday to Sunday, until 10 pm on Friday, and closes at 5 pm on Monday. It is shut on 1 January, Orthodox Easter Sunday, 1 May, 25 December and 26 December, and runs a short 9 am to 3 pm day on 24 and 31 December. A group is defined as 16 to 40 people and reservation is mandatory.

What a visit adds up to

A couple paying full price spends 40 euros. Two adults plus two visitors on the reduced ticket spend 60 euros. The main trap is a Monday afternoon arrival in summer, when the museum closes at 5 pm while running to 8 pm the rest of the week.

Still unclear: the page summarises the reduced and free categories rather than listing every document accepted at the desk.
