This is the most amazing view i have ever seen. Hard work walking up all the stairs but definitely worth it. It is also amazing to look at if you are dining in a roof top nearby and look at it from a…Full review by Googsa21

You won’t see anything in the funicular but it’s a quick rides to the top. 360 degree panorama looking down on the city, the sea and ‘tiny’ Acropolis. You are above the swallows! Gentle slow and sha…Full review by DesertdebDubai

I’m trying to figure out the best way to get to the funicular. Is it required to do many flights of stairs before even reaching it? Thank you!
A:
Its a long walk uphill from the subway and we had to ask numerous people how to get there. I'd recommend taking a cab.

Q:
On the funicular. Does anyone know why random words are projected everywhere?
A:
One of the words was Metaxa...a well known Greek spirit drink... So some of it was certainly advertising.

A:
I personally took the cable car up. I heard you can drive to a certain point but we just found it easier to take the cable car up and down. Or walk if you want!

If it will be a hot day I wouldn’t recommend it and being that your child is quite young, you might end up having to carry him! Especially if/when he gets tired and starts to cry. The funicular is fine. It is just enclosed so you don’t see anything on the ride up or down. It is a walk up several stairs to it also. You could take a cab also to the funicular or close to the top and then walk up a little bit where the cab can’t go any further. If you are going up there for the view, I’d recommend visiting the Acropolis. You will get to see so much more.
