Art and Culture in Athens

"If you only visit one museum in Athens, make it this one. Since its inauguration in 2009, the Acropolis Museum has become the most visited museum in Athens, and it’s very deserving of the attention. Wander around and check out the transparent floors for a unique perspective of the excavation sites, as well as the incredibly well-preserved marble statues, which can be observed from all sides. On weekends, Athenians love to meet at the museum café and restaurant, which has unobscured views of the Acropolis.On Fridays, gourmet dishes and exceptional wine are served until midnight. If you are with children, check out the LEGO Acropolis model made of 120,000 bricks on the second floor. We recommend coming here first to learn about the history of Acropolis, then climbing to the site. For an intensive history lesson, watch the short movie playing on the top floor. Allow at least one and a half hours for your visit. Guided tours aren’t available, but you can book an independent guide." - MATADOR_NETWORK
