Travel back in time on an informative and entertaining visit to the Acropolis of Athens. Guided by an expert in the field and a licensed tour guide, discover this UNESCO World Heritage Site through a journey of history, mythology, and storytelling.

Continue with a visit to the Acropolis Museum, ranked as one of the best museums in the world. All surviving original masterpieces from the Acropolis temples are displayed using natural light. Excavations are also visible beneath glass floors and walkways.

Visit the Acropolis Hill. See the Theatre of Dionysus, where famous ancient dramas and tragedies were first performed. Stroll past the stunning Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the sanctuary of the healing god Asclepius.

At the top of the hill, explore the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Erechtheion. Admire the Parthenon, a symbol of democracy and Western civilization. Dating back to the 5th century BC, these monuments stand as a testament to the glory of ancient Athens and the Golden Age of Pericles.

Enter the contemporary marvel that is the New Acropolis Museum, just a short walk from the Acropolis site. Designed by architects Fotiadis and Tschumi, this architectural gem houses the treasures of ancient Greece within its glass walls. From immersive glimpses of daily life on the ground floor to the enchanting original Caryatids on the first floor (five reside here, the sixth is in the British Museum), the experience culminates on the top floor with the extraordinary Parthenon frieze and a full-scale recreation of the Parthenon, set against stunning views of the Acropolis. Every step is a brushstroke of history, inviting you on a timeless journey through Athens' legacy amidst architectural grandeur. Discover the charm of classical antiquity at the New Acropolis Museum.
