Lycabetus hill is a great place to spend a few hours to watch the sunset over Athens. We took the funicular up because of time but probably fairly easy if you are fit. Note that even just walking to …Full review by colinsewell

The funicular is far too expensive (€9 one way) for the very short ride in darkness. First you have to climb many stairs to get to the station and then wait for the train which is going every 30 min…Full review by Companion29691762889

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.

Hi. Many advises to dont take teleferik/funicular and so go walking until reach the top of the mount BUT I have a 4 years old kid and I would like to know if you think it is feasible for him or that would seems to be too much effort to him. Thank you in advance for your feedback!

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.
