What travellers say

It is an awesome trip. My kids love it so much. Looking forward to visit this place for the second time. Hope to see more discount from Pelago.

Had a great time with friends and family, unlimited ice-creams and fun activities, the kids enjoyed a lot. Booking on pelago was smooth and without any hustle

Easy to use. Remember to download Disney Shanghai app & set up an account prior. On the day itself just head straight to queue for entry, 1st queue is to queue to for security bag check clearance, after that proceed to queue for entry, everyone in the group just needs to present your passport at the entry gate to get pelago e-vouchers validated, everyone will then be given an actual disney ticket. Next is to use the Disney shanghai app to scan your tickets QR code to bind tickets w the app, after that everything can be done through the app. Tips- If you need strollers can just rent them from the locals who have set up stroller rentals outside disneyland. They belong to mainly 2 groups, the blue strollers or the light green strollers, we took the blue located immediately to the left after coming down from the pedestrian bridge before Disney entrance. These guys manning the stand were more flexible & personable. It’s convenient, reliable & best of all much cheaper than Disney's strollers. Quality of stroller is great too, comfortable, sturdy & smooth to push around. Comes w a cable lock too so can lock it to something if you prefer. Disney’s strollers are hard-shelled so not really comfortable to sit in. Pricing goes like this, Single 30rmb, double 60rmb, extra large that even adults can sit 98rmb for a whole day. Can just return them to the manned makeshift kiosk at the end of the day. The same person was still there when we returned it after 12hrs.

About Olympia

Nestled in the western part of the Peloponnese peninsula, Olympia is a historic site renowned for its ancient ruins and as the birthplace of the Olympic Games. The local currency is the Euro (EUR), which is widely accepted throughout the region. Visitors can explore the archaeological site, including the Temple of Zeus, which once housed a monumental statue of the god made of ivory and gold. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, providing a picturesque backdrop to the ancient ruins. Olympia is not just a destination for history enthusiasts; it also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Greece.

When to visit

The best time to visit Olympia is during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers can be quite hot, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C (86°F), making outdoor exploration less comfortable. Spring brings blooming wildflowers and vibrant greenery, enhancing the beauty of the archaeological site. Autumn offers a similar climate, with fewer tourists, allowing for a more intimate experience. Winter can be rainy and chilly, so it's less ideal for outdoor activities.

Traveller tips

When visiting Olympia, it's advisable to wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking on uneven surfaces. Be sure to bring a hat and sunscreen, especially during the summer months, to protect yourself from the sun. Consider visiting the archaeological museum first to gain context about the ruins you'll see later. Guided tours can enhance your experience by providing in-depth historical insights. Lastly, try to arrive early in the day to avoid crowds and enjoy a more peaceful exploration of the site.
