Acropolis Museum

Great experience I like how they built the museum on top of ruins, but have made it where you can see through the floor to see the ruins below the museum. Also, they’ve done a very nice job keeping the exhibit where they feel very close but keeping them still safe Building is a couple stories tall on the second story there is a Lego exhibit which I quite enjoyed and then the final floor has incredible views overlooking the city and the surrounding scenery overall, the experience was quite good. Staff was extremely friendly and kind. I was very happy to see the 6 sisters exhibit. Only five of them are there. The other one is in the British museum. If you visit the top of the hill, you will see they have Moved the real ones into the museum to keep them from getting Weather.

We were initially unsure whether to visit the Acropolis Museum, as some reviews claimed it wasn’t worth it. However, we decided to go anyway — and we’re really glad we did. The entrance fee was €20 (current price as of autumn 2025). We went around 6 PM and it was almost empty, with no lines at all. The museum was open until 8 PM, so we had plenty of time to walk around and explore. The museum itself is beautiful. It features an impressive collection of artifacts found on the slopes of the Acropolis, as well as everyday objects from different periods of Athenian history. There are also many statues, architectural fragments from temples, and other fascinating pieces. On top of that, the museum offers lovely views of the Acropolis and the surrounding area. We later found out that there is an audio guide available — just look for the QR code inside the museum. We wish we had noticed it earlier! Overall, it’s definitely worth a visit. We had a great experience.

I visited the Acropolis Museum today and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The building itself is stunning-modern, light-filled, and thoughtfully designed to let the ancient history shine. One of the highlights was walking over the glass floors and seeing the archaeological remains beneath your feet, which immediately grounds you in the depth of Athens' history. The exhibits are beautifully curated and easy to follow, even without a guide. Seeing the original Caryatids up close was incredibly moving, and the Parthenon Gallery at the top-perfectly aligned with the Acropolis-was a real standout. The way the sculptures are displayed alongside clear explanations helps you truly understand their story and significance. It's spacious, well-organised, and never felt overwhelming. I'd highly recommend visiting before or after the Acropolis itself-it adds so much context and appreciation. A must-see in Athens.

A stunning bridge between the ancient and modern world. A must-visit in Athens... The glass floors at the entrance let you look down into ancient excavations beneath your feet. ​The top floor is the showstopper. It’s arranged exactly like the Parthenon and offers a panoramic view of the actual temple on the hill. ​Seeing the original maidens up close is breathtaking. ​🎟️ Tickets: Buy them online in advance to skip the long ticket booth lines. ​☕ The Cafe: The restaurant terrace has one of the best views of the Acropolis in the city. Great for a frappe or lunch. ​🕒 Timing: Go Friday evening if you can—it’s open late and usually less crowded. Essential. Do the Acropolis hike first, then come here to understand what you just saw.

Be prepared to be amazed by history where myth and reality are hard to distinguish. Modern, spacious, with a lot of light, this is a big museum, be prepared to spend ~4h if you wanna see everything. I advise people to bring headphones to listen to the audio they offer. Be careful, any backpacks have to be stored in a locker room. And check their cafe, it has a wonderful view! Their shop has a variety of books in several languages.

A very well-thought-out and well-organized museum with beautiful unique exhibits. It uses modern technology in a great way to bring the glory and power of ancient Greece to life. The museum also has a nice café with good service and a view of the Acropolis — not the very best view, as you can see from the photos, but still lovely. Definitely worth a visit!

Excellent museum. The displays have excellent lighting and spacing so that one can truly appreciate every single one. This museum deserves more visits. All the videos and educational material are really detailed and well-placed. Also, the view of the Akropolis is astounding!

Amazing place to read about Acropolis history. Recommend to visit the museum first before visit the ancient site. Also bring your own headphones, as there will be free guided tours. For parents: Bring a small bag with a stroller. As big bags will have to be checked in for storage.
