Take it without hesitation if you don't want to bother waiting in line. The negative is having to collect the transport passes from an agency in Athens from the 1st day. Depending on where your hotel is located you will have to walk (about 35 mins for us) or pay for the metro in addition (depending on the distance from your hotel, it's better). Otherwise, everything was perfect, even the yellow bus was nice
The complete package is a great idea and saves a lot of time. One thing though is that you have to be aware to go and see the main attractions on the same day, meaning that if you don´t do it on that day, you will need to pay again. It says on the PDFs that you receive by email, but you can miss it.
The option of public transport I think is great, saved me a lot of walking. The metro is very easy to use and the buses will get you anywhere.
Hope on, hop off bus also helps you move around the city. Tip, you can get to the ports and the Athenian Rivera using the bus.
One huge miss is the Panathenaic Stadium as it is not included in the City pass, have that in mind.
WE DID ALL OF ATHENS ON FOOT BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PREFERABLE TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE DAY ON THE BUS WITH MULTIPLE STOPS TWO DAYS IT’S TOO SHORT
It was unclear that for some attractions you had to pick up your ticket with the turbopass. But the personal at the attraction was kind and helpful
We had the bad luck we were in Athens during Greek orthodox eastern, but we could use the pass to our advantage. Used the hop on/ hop off bus for the full 2 days and seen a lot of the museums around the place were we stayed.
Athens you took our hearts.
Loved the full 5 day we were there.
Incredible city, this pass allows you to visit the main must-see monuments which is great! A small downside if you take the pass with transport included (bus, metro and tram) because we arrived Friday evening and the pass can only be collected from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. We therefore did not have our pass on the first day and it would have been wise to have reported this before booking.
Many sites included in the pass, allowing you to do it without rushing over several days. However, it does not include access for children under 6 years old. They do not pay in the majority of sites but a ticket is still necessary...so it does not necessarily save time!
Very useful for visits -- Transport ticket very difficult to recover
Lots of interesting options with the Athens City Pass. Visited museums that I wouldn't have otherwise chosen. The jewelry museum was great. The big attractions were overwhelming anyway. As a restaurant I would like to recommend the Antica in Plaka with a view of the Acropolis.
All access controls without any problems. Only the yellow hop on hop off unloaded us once at 4.30 p.m. without warning in the middle of the city of Athens and on Sunday the bus did not come to the stop in the port of Piraeus shown on the plan despite waiting for an hour. So Uber, which works wonderfully in Athens. Be sure to keep the Acropolis Pass!
This pass works fine. Especially the hopon-hopoff bus. It took a little longer to get to the museum, but we could also enter there for free. NB! Sometimes you need one QR, then another. So make sure you both have QR codes at hand.
This is just so much a time saver, well worth it. The convenience of the app was a godsend, saving carrying lots of paper passes. The quick response I had to a problem was appreciated.
Some things weren’t perfectly clear but after spending some time figuring it out we were able to work it through. I’d use again,
We bought a two day pass for Athens. The lineup really isn’t for the ticket sales which it allows you to pass. The lineup is for the entry to the actual site, in our case, the acropolis. Also, they send you several PDF’s, and both the entry gate people as well as ourselves were a little confused. They sent us away down the road to some bus stop to try and get the actual tickets because they said none of these attachments were the actual ticket for the acropolis however, once we open the six and final attachment, we went did find the ticket for the acropolis and went back and showed them and got in no problem, so apart from a little confusion, it was semi-convenient to have this pass as we probably went into more monuments and ruins than we would have if we didn’t already have a pass.
The ticket purchase process went very well. Since we were in Athens for the first time, it was confusing to see the wide range of sights, etc., which was included. Unfortunately, we paid twice for the new Acropolis Museum because we were told it was not included. (We probably only showed the one ticket, or the woman checking us quickly waved it off. Our tip, one ticket per purchase and not two, which means you have to switch back and forth. Kind regards
This city pass was easy to use and very convenient, we just needed to scan the qr codes and we faced no issue in both travelling and getting our access to the acropolis.
The hop on/off buses were helpful getting around a very crowded and busy Athens. Getting to go around ticket queues made site entry much faster.
We got three-day Athens passes, and found the one-ticket feature very helpful at museums and other sites on our list. We probably could have made even more use of it if we had thought to ask at restaurants and tavernas if they offered discounts to pass holders, but somehow we forgot to do this. Still a good value!
I am a returning customer of Turbo Pass, specifically for Athens. The first time I purchased in 2021, the tickets came in 20 minutes of payment, however during my experience now in 2023, it took 4 hours which delayed plans for sightseeing. Understanding the T&Cs it could take up to 24h, however was not expecting that after the first positive experience with the Pass. However, overall it was easy to use at all attractions and sites, and great to have entrance to extra museums included. Will continue purchasing through Turbo Pass in future.
The Athens City Pass was a convenient way to ensure that we would have access to the main archaeological sites and museums. However, my advice would be to read very carefully which museums/attractions are included in the pass itself. There are certain attractions that are not included in the pass, and depending on what you plan to see on your trip, it is nice to know in advance! Also, the ticket for the archaeological sites is sent as a separate PDF, so make sure you bring both to the sites so that you can enter. Overall, we had a great experience!
