Top 5 Scenic Viewpoints to Admire Athens from Above

Are you a person who loves to see the city from above?

Well, I am someone who loves to see the entire city from above. I always make it a point to find a location where I can enjoy a panoramic view of the city before traveling to another country. For example, in Taipei, you can visit Taipei 101 or Xiangshan; in Paris, you can go to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, or Notre Dame; and in London, you can visit the Sky Garden free of charge.

In Athens, there are five locations where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the city from above, which I am excited to share with you.

我是一個喜歡從高處俯瞰整個城市的人,在去其他國家之前,我總是會查哪裏可以從高處欣賞城市風景的地方。 例如,在台北,你可以去台北101或象山; 在巴黎,可以去凱旋門、艾菲爾鐵塔或北聖母院的頂部; 在倫敦,你則可以免費進入空中花園。 

在雅典,我認為有五個很美麗的地方你可以頂部欣賞雅典的壯麗景色

Acropolis hill

The Acropolis Hill is one of the most prominent landmarks in Athens. After visiting the Acropolis, you can enjoy the scenic views of the city from the New Acropolis Museum.

衛城山丘是雅典制高點之一,可以看到新衛城博物館在哪裡。所以你可以在參觀衛城後可以欣賞雅典的風景。

Philopappos Hill

Philopappos Hill Park is a public park located on the west side of the Acropolis, also known as Mouseion. The ancient Greeks believed that the nine Muses resided here, which adds an air of mystery to the site. This belief has helped preserve its significance in the collective memory, as it was recognized as a new center for democratic thought.

Philopappos Hill is one of the best places to watch the sunset in Athens. Due to its central location, it offers a perfect vantage point to witness the transition from day to night, providing stunning views of both the Acropolis and the entire city.

The walk up is not too strenuous and takes approximately 15 minutes from bottom to top. At the summit, you will find the Philopappos Monument—an ancient Greek mausoleum dedicated to Philopappus, a prince from the Kingdom of Commagene.

Philopappos Hill 公園是雅典衛城西側的市民公園,也被稱為Mouseion。古希臘人認為這裡住著這九個繆斯女神,雖然有點神秘,但確實將它保存在人們的記憶中,被認為是民主思想的新場所。

Philopappos Hill是雅典日落最好的地方之一。多虧了山丘的中心位置,這裡是觀看白天到黑夜的理想地點,因為它可以欣賞雅典衛城和整個城市的美景。

步行不太費力,從底部到頂部僅需15分鐘。在山頂上,您會發現Philopappos紀念碑–一個古老的希臘陵墓,獻給Philmappus,這是來自Commagene 王國的王子。

Stoa of Attalos

You will find the Stoa of Attalos within the ancient Agora of Athens. This structure is a two-story building featuring a Doric colonnade on the ground floor and an Ionic colonnade with a balustrade on the upper level. The façade is entirely made of marble, and each story contains two aisles and twenty-one rooms along the western wall. All the rooms are equipped with doors and windows on the rear wall for lighting and ventilation, and a staircase leads to the second floor.

It is the only building in Greece that has been completely restored. Although it is not original, I believe the renovated structure is more attractive than the others.

The colonnade commemorates King Attalos II of Pergamon. It consists of two levels and serves as a space for citizens to conduct business discussions. The outer layer of the columns is designed in the Doric style, while the inner layer features the Ionic style. It has now been reconstructed to showcase ancient artifacts excavated from the Forum Romanum.

On the second floor, you can see the Temple of Hephaestus, which is a beautiful place to visit.

你會在雅典古老的集市內找到Attalos的Stoa。 它實際上是一棟兩層樓的建築。 在底樓有一個多立克柱廊和一個帶有欄杆的離子上柱廊。 外牆全是大理石,每個樓層都有兩個過道和二十一間西牆襯砌的房間。 所有房間的後牆上都有門窗,用於照明和通風,樓梯通向二樓。

它是希臘唯一已完全修復的建築。 儘管不是原始建築,但我認為裝修後的建築比其他建築更具吸引力。柱廊是用來紀念佩加蒙國王阿塔洛斯二世的。 它共有兩層,供市民討論業務。 色譜柱的外層是Doric,內層是Ionic。 現在,它被重建以顯示古羅馬廣場的古物件。

在二樓,您可以看到赫菲斯托斯神廟,這是一個欣賞它的好地方。

Areopagus hill

The Areopagus is a stark, solid marble hill located centrally adjacent to the entrance of the Acropolis. Its name translates to and during Roman times, it was referred to as The Areopagus holds great historical significance and has been the site of some of the most important events in Athens’ history.

The Areopagus Hill offers stunning views of the nearby Acropolis. As the Acropolis is a central feature of the city, observing it from various angles can become somewhat of an obsession, as it presents a completely different appearance each time. However, one must be cautious of the rocky terrain, as it can be slippery.

Areopagus是一塊裸露的堅固大理石山丘,位於雅典衛城入口附近。它的名字翻譯為“ Ares’Rock”,在羅馬時代被稱為“ Mars’Hill”。 Areopagus的歷史非常悠久,它是雅典歷史上發生的一些最重要事件的發生地。

Areopagus 丘陵享有附近雅典衛城丘陵的壯麗景色。由於雅典衛城是城市中的焦點,因此以不同的角度看待雅典衛城時,會顯得有些執迷不悟。但是必須注意的一件事是,要小心岩石,這有可能一不小心會滑倒。

Lycabettus hill

The Lyabettus offers breathtaking panoramic views of the entire city.

At 277 meters above sea level, Lycabettus Hill is the highest point in Athens. Sometimes referred to as Mount Lycabettus, it is an excellent location to visit for sunset, as you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the entire city. That being said, the stunning vistas make it a fantastic spot to visit at any time of day.

Lycabettus Hill 海拔高達 277米,是雅典的最高點。有時稱為 Mount Lycabettus,它是日落的絕佳去處,你可以欣賞整個城市的壯麗全景。話雖如此,令人驚嘆的美景意味著它是一天中任何時候訪問的絕佳去處。

There are two options for reaching the summit of Lycabettus Hill: taking the funicular or hiking. During my visit, I chose to hike to the top. Since we visited later in the year, the weather was quite pleasant; however, I decided to take the funicular on the way down.

During the summer months, walking can be particularly challenging due to the heat. Therefore, ensure that you stay well-hydrated if you plan to walk on a hot day. If the temperature is exceptionally high, we recommend taking the funicular railway to the top.

到達呂卡維多斯山(Lycabettus Hill)的頂部有兩種選擇–乘坐纜車或步行。我個人選擇在訪問期間爬到最高處,但是當我們今年晚些時候訪問時,這根本就不熱。但是,當我下山時,我選擇乘坐鐵路。

在夏季,由於高溫,步行可能會特別困難,因此,如果您計劃在炎熱的天氣中行走,請務必保持水分充足!如果天氣真的很熱,我們建議您乘坐纜車到山頂。

The Lycabettus Hill funicular costs €4 for a one-way trip.

A funicular is a type of train designed for traversing steep inclines, making it an ideal mode of transportation to reach the summit of a hill. The Lycabettus Hill funicular charges €4 for a one-way trip. It operates at least once every 30 minutes from 9 a.m. to 2:30 a.m., and during peak hours, it may run as frequently as every 10 minutes.

纜車是一種用於在陡峭的斜坡上上下移動的火車,使其成為到達山頂的理想方式。 Lycabettus Hill纜車單程費用為€4。 它在上午9點至凌晨2.30點之間至少每30分鐘運行一次,在高峰時段有時甚至每10分鐘運行一次。

It is well worth planning your day to ensure you are here for the sunset.

I believe that sunset is the best time to visit. I must say, this is a lovely place to enjoy an incredible view of Athens at any time. It is well worth planning your day to stay here for the sunset. With a bit of luck, you’ll be treated to a vibrant sky alongside the most stunning views of Athens and the Acropolis.

我認為日落是參觀的最佳時間。 我不得不說這是一個隨時可以看到雅典令人難以置信的景色的好地方,非常值得計劃你的一天留在這裡欣賞日落。 運氣好的話,您將享受到充滿活力的天空以及雅典和雅典衛城最壯麗的景色。
