Acropolis
Explore the Acropolis at your own pace, Athens’ iconic ancient citadel that towers above the city as a symbol of classical civilization. This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to the majestic Parthenon, the elegant Erechtheion with its famous Caryatids, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the grand Propylaia entrance. Wander through the same sacred grounds where ancient Athenians worshipped, debated democracy, and shaped Western culture. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Athens from the rocky hilltop while discovering architectural masterpieces and rich mythology. The Acropolis offers an unforgettable journey through history, art, and legend at the heart of Greece’s capital. The visit does not include guided tour with licensed guide or entrance fees.
Acropolis Museum
The Acropolis Museum is a modern wonder that brings ancient Greece to life. Built right above the ruins of a Roman neighborhood, it’s filled with incredible artifacts from the Acropolis, including sculptures from the Parthenon. The museum's glass floors let you peek into the excavations below, so you can see history literally beneath your feet! With interactive exhibits and stunning views of the Acropolis, it’s a place where the past feels as present as ever. Guided tour with licensed guide and entrance fees are not included.
