10Skipping the Acropolis Museum


Many tourists head straight for the Acropolis and overlook the Acropolis Museum, which is one of the most important archaeological museums in Greece.

It’s a modern, beautifully designed space that offers invaluable context about the Parthenon and the ancient city of Athens. Inside, you’ll find artifacts, sculptures, and exhibits that help bring the ruins to life. Skipping it means missing half the story.

Tip: Visit the museum first to fully appreciate what you see at the Acropolis afterwards.
