A process for preparing acrylic acid and/or acrylates, which comprises stage A with or without stages B and C:A: cooling a gaseous reaction mixture which comprises acrylic acid and is obtained in the gas-phase oxidation to prepare acrylic acid, using an inert high-boiling solvent, to give a gaseous mixture comprising acrylic acid;B: separating the gaseous mixture comprising acrylic acid to give a low-boiling fraction, a crude acrylic acid, and a bottom product, andC: esterifying the crude acrylic acid obtained in stage B by means of one or more alkanols to give an esterification mixture comprising one or more acrylates and one or more acetic esters.
