About National Archaeological Museum
The largest archaeological museum in Greece, home to the Mask of Agamemnon, the Antikythera Mechanism and the bronze Artemision god. Allow at least half a day. Exarcheia is the student and alternative quarter beside the National Archaeological Museum, known for its bookshops, record stores, street art and lively bars. 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 National Archaeological Museum before you go.
