Tourists visit Mycenae today as ruins of this ancient hilltop city are still standing, allowing visitors to picture what it must have once been like. Visitors can also learn about the history of Mycenae at its museum and see artifacts, including an item believed to be the death mask of Agamemnon.

Mycenae Tours and Tickets

Q: How much time do you need to visit Mycenae?

Most visitors find that spending 1–1.5 hours at Mycenae is enough time to visit the archaeological site and its museum. This is also how long most day trips from Athens allow for sightseeing during the stop at Mycenae, so you shouldn’t feel rushed if you do visit on a tour.

Q: What is Mycenae famous for?

Mycenae is famous as it was once one of the largest and most influential cities in ancient Greece and the home to King Agamemnon, who led the fight in the Trojan War. The city’s influence was so significant that historians refer to a whole period of history as the Mycenaean period, with the city defining the culture of that era.

Q: What is the cost of admission to Mycenae, and are there any discounts available?

Admission to Mycenae depends on what time of year you are visiting. Adult tickets start at €6 for visits between November–March and from €12 for the rest of the year. Free admission is available for children under 5, EU citizens under 25, and visitors with a disability and their companions.

Q: Can I visit Mycenae independently, or is a guided tour recommended?

Yes, you can visit Mycenae independently if that is how you prefer sightseeing. Information is provided around the archaeological site and at the museum for your benefit. The advantage of taking a guided tour is that you can ask your guide questions, visit multiple attractions in one day, and don’t have to worry about how to get there.

Q: Is there parking available at Mycenae?

Yes, there is a free parking lot just outside the ticket office at Mycenae, but it isn’t very large and can quickly fill up with tour buses. People usually just park along the road when the parking lot is full. There is also a small parking lot outside the Treasury of Atreus.

Donald_T, Mar 2026

Highly Recommended

Our tour with Michael was outstanding! Corinth Canal was amazing, Mycenae a bit overpriced but interesting, Epidaurus theater just OK, and Nafplio was beautiful. A long day but Michael was very flexible and accomodating. Thanks again!

Epidaurus, Mycenae and Nafplio Small-Group Tour from Athens

Amazing Perspective on Ancient Greece

Awesome trip! Amazing views from the acropolis at Mycenae, Napflio was charming, Epidaurus inspiring. Guides were informative , charming and personable. Minus one star because tickets were not included — would rather have spent the time in the museums and archaeological sites than in line.

Allison_D, Mar 2026

Absolutely loved our trip

Stopping at the Corinth canal was a good chance to stretch our legs en route to our first stop. The ruins at Mycenae had some stunning views, and we were amazed at how big the complex at Epidaurus was. Since we were there during the off season Nafplio wasn't bustling, but we still had a great lunch at Arapakos. And of course our driver, Giorgos, was a total sweetheart. He adjusted plans a bit to help us get photos from the best locations!

Excellent tour!

Excellent day trip! The tour guide was exceptional and very knowledgeable. We had enough time in each place and it is a fascinating mix. The tour bus was small and comfortable. Our kids (12 and 16) enjoyed the tour as well. We went in spring when the temperature was mild and it even rained a little so check ahead because without a hood or umbrella it would be tricky since everything is outdoors. Be cautious about doing the tour in mid summer since the area can get very hot.

Brilliant historical day out!!

The trip was very well organised, with a great guide, Alex, who gave us enough information but didn't go into too much depth as some guides have done on other trips. All three sites were excellent and well worth the visit plus they were easily accessible, even for someone with a walking stick. We had enough time to explore on our own and get a meal too.

Peloponnese

Know before you go

Covering around 80 acres (32 hectares) and home to a population of roughly 30,000 at the height of its power, the spectacular Mycenae ruins are a must for archaeology and history buffs.
There’s a lot of ground to cover outdoors, so dress for the weather and choose comfortable shoes.
If traveling with kids, visit with a family-friendly guide who knows how to make the site engaging for everyone. The model of the ancient city located just outside the museum is helpful for younger travelers to get their bearings.
Some areas of the site are accessible to wheelchairs, while the museum is fully accessible.
