One of the best museums I’ve ever been to. It’s a stunning building, well designed, and the visitor is treated exceptionally well. The visit was part of a guided city tour, and the guide provided plenty of insightful information. Without the guide, I would have missed out on learning about the artifacts and Greek history. The entire museum experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend it. It began at the entrance area with objects visible from the walkway. We paused to toss a coin into the 'pit' and made a wish. The museum is spacious and bright, even when crowded. The staff are very insistent about visitors not getting too close to certain artifacts and can be seen 'moving' around the hall to intervene. They also enforce a no photography rule in some areas, but I managed to take a few sneaky shots. The objects are displayed beautifully. The cafe is also worth a visit for coffee or snacks, though we chose to dine elsewhere. The entrance fee is absolutely worth it.
We visited in June 2024 as part of a tour group after checking out the Acropolis. As a group, we got in quickly, and the archaeology views were impressive, even while waiting. I recommend the museum for history enthusiasts, but I wouldn’t necessarily suggest hiring a tour guide here. The museum is impressive, but if you’re not a history buff, an hour would suffice.
It was amazing! Really fascinating to see the Pantheon's missing pieces, which are still in great condition. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to access the lower area since a separate ticket is required. You might want to consider getting an 'everything' pass if you plan on doing more in town.
The Acropolis Museum is a well-kept and stunning museum. The entire building is constructed over preserved ruins, which are visible through transparent floors in several areas. On the 3rd floor, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Parthenon. The museum is organized to showcase everything chronologically, with the top floor featuring beautiful views of the Acropolis. It's designed to display the sides of the Parthenon along with all the original sculptures and reliefs.
There’s an ongoing video on the top floor that explains the destruction of the Parthenon, which I found particularly interesting. You can easily spend 2 to 3 hours exploring the museum. Ticket prices are €20.
The museum is incredible. The entrance fee is €20 and includes an audio guide in ENGLISH (tip: remember to bring headphones 😂) for a comfortable listening experience.
Tip: On Fridays, the museum stays open until 10:00 PM, making it a wonderful plan, and you’ll get the chance to take amazing photos of the Acropolis.
