Acropolis Museum in Athens is by far the most modern and impressive museum of the capital of Greece. Along with a visit to the Acropolis Temple itself is one of the best things to do in Athens. I visited recently with my family, and here is everything you need to know:

BEST ACROPOLIS TICKET & TOUR: Athens Parthenon & Acropolis Guided Tour
Acropolis Museum, along with the National Archaeological Museum and the National Historical Museum in Athens, is one of the best museums in Greece. It is a truly magnificent building that opened in 2009 and it’s more than just a museum, as its glass floor is literally showing the findings from the excavation that took place while building the concfrete foundations of the museum itself back in the 00’s.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE ACROPOLIS MUSEUM
- Official Website of the Acropolis Museum: theacropolismuseum.gr
- I highly recommend you combine the visit to the Acropolis Museum with a visit to the temple of Parthenon (yes, the famous one); this guided tour includes tickets to both attractions and it’s a great way to understand what you are actually seeing

- The best way to get to the museum is by the underground metro RED LINE (Line 2) and stop at “Acropolis Station” (on Google Maps). The Museum is literally behind the exit of the station and the best ticket to get is the ATH.ENA Card for public transport within Athens.
- If you live close to the center of Athens in areas such as Kolonaki, Koukaki, Syntagma Square, Monastiraki, Plaka, Thission you can literally walk to the Acropolis Museum as it’s about a 20-30mins walk from all those areas.
- The ticket for the museum costs 15 euros per adult person (over 25 years old) between April-March (a.k.a. summer) and 10 euros between November-March (aka winter). (PRICES MAY VARY SO ALWAYS CHECK THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE)
