★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The monument is on top of the hill, which is spectacular to visit for sunsets. It's quite large and you can see some ancient details which are still present.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Best sunset spot in athens if you want the Acropolis in your pictures. Don't worry about getting there. As soon as you are inside the park I randomly zigzagged my way uphill til I found it. Map doesn't show all the smaller ways.
Anyway, it was already busy around the monument so I checked out a place a few steps down which was completely empty. Gorgeous view over Athens, incredible how massive this city spreads out.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was a very scenic hike!! The monument is located on the top of a hill just across from the Acropolis, one km or so as the crow flies. The hike itself is very pleasant and not too strenuous, winding through a forest of wild olive trees and occasional ancient ruins. Spectacular views of the Acropolis as well as the entire city of Athens abound, including the sea and the local islands. Just bring lots of drinking water with you. Fantastic place!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In short, the Philopappos Monument is an ancient Greek mausoleum dedicated to a prince, Epiphanes Philopappos, from the Kingdom of Commagene (a small kingdom somewhere in the Middle East). Located on Mouseion Hill in Athens. It is a nice walk especially at sunset.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ absolutely amazing piece of nature in the heart of central Athens. great for all ages to take chill walks or picnics as the hill is not steep at all and there are tons of spots with breathtaking views. of course the Akropolis view is remarkable, probably the best in the city. the park is well maintained, clean enough and close to central neighborhoods full of restaurants and such so perfect for a nice long walk before lunch/dinner. we absolutely loved our walk on this hill and wish we discovered it sooner on our vacation.
