Step into the Acropolis Museum, the glass-and-steel showcase at the foot of the sacred rock. Walk its bright galleries of sculptures and artifacts, ending at the top-floor Parthenon hall where the frieze is displayed.

Full description

Set just below the Acropolis, this museum gathers the finds from the hill's sanctuaries inside a bright, spacious building of glass and steel. Galleries are laid out so the story of the rock unfolds in order, with clear explanations throughout, and the top-floor Parthenon gallery presents the frieze at the same orientation as the temple itself.

Reviewers praise the calm layout and call it the natural companion to the climb up the hill. Around two hours covers the main galleries comfortably, and later in the day it tends to be quieter.
