About this attraction

Pergamon Acropolis (Bergama)

High above the town of Bergama, the acropolis of Pergamon was the glittering capital of the Hellenistic Attalid kings — a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014. Its theatre, carved into the hillside for some 10,000 spectators, is the steepest of the ancient world; nearby stand the marble columns of the Trajan temple, the foundations of the Great Altar of Zeus, whose friezes are displayed in Berlin's Pergamonmuseum, and the remains of a library that once rivalled Alexandria — parchment takes its very name from this city. A cable car glides up from Bergama town, and the Asclepion healing sanctuary lies below. From İzmir Airport (ADB) it is about 110 km and 90 minutes; SooTransfer brings you door-to-door in a private vehicle from €63, fixed price, pay on arrival.

Opening hours
Open daily; roughly 08:30–19:00 in summer (about April–October) and 08:30–17:30 in winter, with last entry 30–60 minutes before closing. The cable car usually runs from about 08:00 to 18:00. Hours can shift — check locally before a very early or late visit.
Entry fee
Foreign visitors pay roughly €15–20 for the Acropolis (as of 2026); the Asclepion is ticketed separately at a similar level. The cable car costs extra, around €10 return. Both sites are covered by the Museum Pass Türkiye. Prices change — treat these as guide values.
What to see / do

Highlights of Pergamon Acropolis (Bergama)

🎭
World's Steepest Ancient Theatre
Around 10,000 seats plunge down the hillside at a dizzying pitch — climb to the upper rows and the whole Aegean plain opens beneath your feet.
🏛️
Temple of Trajan
The re-erected white marble columns of the Trajaneum crown the summit — a Roman imperial temple gleaming above terraced Hellenistic ruins.
Great Altar of Zeus
Only the foundations remain on site — the monumental frieze of gods battling giants is displayed in Berlin's Pergamonmuseum — yet the altar terrace and its views still impress.
📜
Library That Rivalled Alexandria
Reputedly 200,000 scrolls were kept here; when Egypt restricted papyrus exports, the city perfected parchment — 'pergament' still carries Pergamon's name.
🚡
Cable Car Ascent
The teleferik sweeps you from Bergama town to the upper gate in minutes, sparing you a steep climb and serving up panoramas on the way.
⚕️
Asclepion Healing Sanctuary
Below the citadel lies the ancient world's famous medical centre, where Galen practised — a colonnaded sacred way, a healing tunnel and its own small theatre.
Practical tips

Trip tricks for Pergamon Acropolis (Bergama)

🚐
Book Wait-and-Return
Pergamon is an ideal day trip: your SooTransfer driver waits while you explore the Acropolis and Asclepion, then takes you back to İzmir or your hotel — with your luggage safe in the car the whole time.
👟
Dress for a Marble Hilltop
Sturdy shoes, water, a hat and sunscreen are essential — the paths are uneven marble and there is almost no shade at the top.
🎫
Budget for Separate Tickets
The Acropolis, the Asclepion and the cable car are all paid separately; the Museum Pass Türkiye pays off if Ephesus is also on your itinerary.
🗺️
Combine It En Route
Bergama sits neatly between İzmir and the north Aegean — combine your visit with an onward private transfer to Ayvalık, Assos or Çanakkale in a single ride.

FAQ

Pergamon Acropolis (Bergama) transfer · frequently asked

How much is a private transfer from İzmir Airport (ADB) to Pergamon?

From €63 per vehicle, fixed in euros with no hidden extras. The drive is about 110 km and takes roughly 90 minutes. Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign, your flight is tracked, and waiting time and child seats are free — you pay on arrival.

Is a private transfer better than the bus or a taxi to Bergama?

Buses from İzmir take over two hours to Bergama bus station, and you still need a local ride to the cable car or the site gates. Airport taxis run on the meter and often cost more than a fixed private fare. SooTransfer takes you door-to-door at a pre-agreed price, dropping you right at the entrance.

How long do I need at Pergamon, and can I see the Asclepion too?

Plan 2–3 hours for the acropolis and about an hour for the Asclepion. With a private transfer and a waiting driver, both sites plus lunch in Bergama fit comfortably into a single day from İzmir.

Do I have to take the cable car up?

No — a road leads to the upper car park, so your driver can drop you near the top gate. Many visitors still choose the teleferik from town for the views; it costs extra, roughly €10 return.

How much does it cost to enter Pergamon?

Foreign visitors pay roughly €15–20 for the acropolis (as of 2026), with a separate ticket for the Asclepion at a similar level. Both sites are included in the Museum Pass Türkiye. Site tickets are not included in the transfer price.
