We took the funicular tram up, which runs every 30 minutes. It's in a tunnel, so you don't get a view going up. Walking around the top gives you some nice views. We were warned about the high pric…Full review by Carter W

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

Fine to speak English only - most staff can accommodate you. We went Dec/Jan and it was cold especially when you go up to Acropolis etc. Lots of places have heaters so you can sit outside if it’s cool. Happy travels!

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.
