Entry tickets not included
Instead of visiting the Ancient Agora, you can choose to visit the new Acropolis Museum.
As you enter the museum grounds, look through the plexiglass floor to see the ruins of an ancient Athenian neighborhood, which were artfully incorporated into the museum design after being uncovered during excavations. This dazzling modernist museum at the foot of the Acropolis' southern slope showcases its surviving treasures still in Greek possession. While the collection covers the Archaic and Roman periods, the emphasis is on the Acropolis of the 5th century BCE, considered the apotheosis of Greece's artistic achievement. Built in 2009, this museum was voted as the best mono-thematic museum for 2019.
