About Acropolis Museum

A stunning modern museum at the foot of the Acropolis, with the Parthenon marbles displayed in a glass gallery facing the temple itself. Walk over the excavated ancient neighbourhood beneath your feet. Makrygianni lies just south of the Acropolis, around the Acropolis Museum and the pedestrian Dionysiou Areopagitou promenade, so the ancient sites are only minutes away on foot. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday heat and the crowds, and buy tickets for state sites online at hhticket.gr to skip the queue.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Acropolis Museum before you go.
