WOW and the history is really neat as well. I can't get over the size, especially knowing it was constructed by hand.

The acropolis of Pergamom is itself very good, but this theatre is far and away the highlight - almost seemingly impossibly steep and with stunning views!!!! How did anyone ever concentrate on the events there with such a backdrop! Well worth some decent exploring in its own right.

The theatre and the setting is just beautiful. One of the most impressive Greco-Roman theatres I have ever seen given views over the town and valley.

Steepest theater I have ever seen at any archaeological site. I only wish the tour I was on would have allowed me more time to explore. This is a must see.

The Pergamon Theatre forms part of the ancient ruin of Pergamon cut steep into the slope and its simply breath taking and one should spend at least half a day to soak in the architectural wonders and read up on the different sites along the way!

The theatre only constitute part of the wonders of ancient world in Pergamon. A must see when in Turkey !

Do not visit if you suffer from vertigo. A magnificent Greco-Roman theatre built by the Greeks in the third century BCE. It was later refurbished by the Romans..It has 80 rows of steps, the highest some 36 meters above the orchestra pit in the valley below. Pergamon is the steepest Greco-Roman theatre in the world and could seat 10,000 spectators..

The trouble to get there makes it worthwhile. A gem on a hillside that doesn't look like anything special until you get there.

Having visited more theaters in Turkey, this still stands out as impressive, due to its preserved state and height.

The most spectacular ruin in the Ancient City of Pergamum is this dramatic Hellenistic Theater.
It's carved into a very steep hillside, so it offered a scenic panorama just in case the play was boring. If you are not comfortable with high slopes, you may feel some vertigo up there.
It's my favorite place by far as this architectonic masterpiece was not dedicated to whatever emperor, tyrant, god or goddess. It was built just for people. It's hearth touching to learn that, about 2000 years ago, despite the wars and barbaric invasions, the people of Pergamum enjoyed the theater shows.
Fight your vertigo and take all the steps down to the former stage and explore the ruins of the Dionysus Temple. According to the archeologists, there used to be terraces here for the spectators, to enjoy a cup of wine after the show.
Visited the place in September, late afternoon, and it was not that hot, due to the breeze. However, take some sport shoes, sunglasses and a binocular, to enjoy the scenery.
And, of course, don't forget about the water!
