Delphi tickets for the site and museum
Delphi tickets make most sense when you plan the archaeological site and museum as a pair. The official combined ticket covers both, while commercial packages add services such as audio narration or a multilingual 3D application. Decide whether you want admission alone or help interpreting the ruins and collection. That distinction matters more than comparing prices without looking at the service attached to each one.
The regular official combined admission is 20 EUR, with a reduced rate of 10 EUR for eligible visitors. The Ministry of Culture's museum information dated 8 September 2026 lists the regular 20 EUR price for winter as well as summer. An audio or audiovisual package has its own product price, which should be treated as the cost of that package rather than the official admission tariff.

Admission and concessions
The combined ticket brings the outdoor setting and its collection into one admission plan. On the hillside, the Sacred Way links the treasuries and Temple of Apollo; in the museum, sculpture and dedications give those structures a human and artistic context. Keep both visits in your itinerary even if one is your main reason for coming. Our archaeological-site guide explains the outdoor layout, while the museum guide introduces the collection themes.
The central ministry rules provide free entry for EU nationals up to and including age 25 and non-EU children and young people up to and including age 18. Official proof of age and nationality is required. Carry the relevant identity document, and make concession eligibility part of your ticket choice rather than treating every student or young adult as covered by the same rule.
For other concessions and date-specific free entry, consult the current admission information for your intended visit. If you are choosing a commercial audio package, consider whether its additional service is useful alongside your admission entitlement. The value of the app or recording lies in the interpretation it provides, especially when you want to connect fragmentary ruins with the sanctuary's original arrangement.
Audio packages and museum appointments
The multilingual audio package starts with the museum at the selected time slot, followed by the archaeological site. It includes offline audio content for both areas. Bring your own smartphone and headphones; transport and a live guide are excluded. This arrangement suits a self-directed visit with a planned museum appointment and recorded commentary to accompany the collection and ruins.
A different admission package pairs an entry ticket with a downloadable audio guide. Its useful distinction is the recorded interpretation that accompanies admission. Keep the product's own instructions with your ticket so the material you need is ready for the visit. If talking through the objects with another person is your priority, compare private guided visits rather than choosing audio for that purpose.
A ticket with a 3D audiovisual app
The 3D package includes a multilingual audiovisual app, museum entry on the specified day and time, and entry to the archaeological site on that day within its opening hours. This is particularly relevant when you want digital reconstruction alongside the surviving walls and columns. It combines admission with another way of visualising the ancient setting, rather than adding a guide who walks with you.
Use each package's own timing instructions when arranging the day. The museum appointment and visit sequence attached to the audio product are features of that product. Build your general itinerary from the separate opening calendars for the museum and archaeological site, especially if you are visiting on a summer Tuesday or late in the autumn season.
Visit length and access
Your time on site depends on how much attention you give the collection, the outdoor paths and the commentary. Leave space for walking between your visits rather than using the last admission time as a sensible starting time for the whole experience. Last admission is 20 minutes before closing. A one-day validity statement describes when a ticket can be used, rather than the length of a guided tour.
The museum has an accessible exhibition route and a lift. Access by special vehicle in the outdoor site as far as the Temple of Apollo requires notifying the Ephorate at least seven days in advance. A local report of 31 August 2026, reviewed on 30 October 2026, reported closures at the stadium, Athena Pronaia and Castalian Spring. Follow the current barriers when planning your walk. For the journey to Delphi, use the transport guide.
