On the top floors of the Capitol complex, at the corner of Ioulianou and 3rd Septemvriou, the Hellenic Motor Museum fills 3,000 square metres with cars from the late 1800s to the end of the 20th century. The collection grew from one man’s passion: its first cars included a Maserati Mistral, a Rolls-Royce Wraith and Jaguar E-types. Three floors trace the evolution of the automobile, a good indoor plan for a hot or wet afternoon with car-mad children. Our advice: combine it with the National Archaeological Museum nearby; it opens 10am–5pm on weekdays and 11am–6pm at weekends.
