I first visited from outside just to take a photo but already then decided i will also visit inside later. The audioguide is alright and the view from the highest rows is nice. There is also a museum with some history of the olympics, videos, and all the old posters of former olympics inside. This museum is gone to through...

We arrived in Athens in the afternoon and decided to just walk and came upon the Stadium! To know that both the original and modern day Olympics began here is amazing! Take the free walking tour earpiece to learn many details about the stadium! The cave like walkway to the space that houses Olympic memorabilia is really cool!

The stadium is a magnificent venue, originally built almost 2000 years ago and re-built in the 19th Century - worth a visit, only a short walk from the centre, and with a good audio tour that brings it to life

A must see - great to take the audio tour and see this historical site! Run around the track and stand on the dais. Felt royal sitting in the king/queens chairs. Amazing all the marble bench chairs. Inside they had all the old Olympic torches - brilliant!

We stopped here on our way back to the boat. There were people in Roman costumes who would let you have your picture taken with them. The marble in the stadium is impressive. More than 15 minutes here would be a long time. But still would see.

I read about this in a magazine from the Acropolis Museum. I was under the impression it was an open stadium, and one you could visit or go for a jog in. Turns out you do need to pay admission to even enter.
However even from the outside you can sort of understand how impressive the whole structure is. Take...

What a great place. You feel the history in this all marble stadium. Walk the track and sit in on the historic seats. Inside the tunnel makes you feel like the athletes did so long ago. Space and feeling.. Great

I have to write at least 100 words for this review to be published and all I can say is that in a place like this all you do is stand in awe. And strangely, all your thoughts, ideas, feelings....your whole world...fall into place.

The stadium is located near the National Gardens and Olympic Zeus Temple. It costs 5 euro to enter, but it is really worth the price. It takes about one hour to go around the stadium, visit all places which are mentioned on the map and listen to audioguide (it is free, included in the price of the ticket). On the...
