What you can expect

Travel back in time on an informative and fun tour of the Acropolis of Athens. Guided by a field expert and licensed tour guide, discover the UNESCO World Heritage site through a journey into history, mythology, and storytelling.
Continue with a visit to the Acropolis Museum, which has been ranked as one of the top museums in the world. All the original surviving masterpieces from the temples of the Acropolis are displayed with the use of natural light. Excavations are also visible under glass floors and walkways.

Visit Acropolis hill. See the Dionysus Theatre, where famous ancient dramas and tragedies were first performed. Walk around the stunning Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the sanctuary of the healing god Asclepius.
On the top of the hill, visit the Propylea Temple of Nike and the Erechtheion Temple. See the Parthenon, which is the symbol of democracy and western civilisation. Dating back to the 5th-century, these monuments are testimonials of the glorious ancient Athens and the Golden Age of Pericles.

Step into the contemporary marvel that is the New Acropolis Museum, nestled just a few minutes walk from the Acropolis site. Crafted by architects Fotiadis and Shumin, this architectural gem cradles the treasures of ancient Greece within its glass embrace. From the ground floor's immersive glimpses into daily life to the first floor's enchanting original Caryatids (five residing here, the sixth in the British Museum), and culminating on the top floor with the extraordinary Parthenon frieze and a recreation of Parthenon, next to the breathtaking view of the Acropolis. Each step is a stroke of history, inviting you on a timeless journey through Athens' legacy amid architectural grandeur. Explore the allure of classical antiquity at the New Acropolis Museum.
