Surprisingly well designed museum that both shows the War Rooms from which the British armed forces were coordinated, and the personal history of Churchill. Reserve about 1.5 hours if you want to have a good look, however if closing time is near, the friendliest museum staff I've ever encountered will quietly and very politely inform everyone individually, that you should move on if you want to see the war rooms as well (which we managed thanks to them). Note that the shop closes at the same time as the museum, so visit that first if you're late. Well recommended.
We specifically went for the Frida Kahlo exhibition, which, even during covid, was quite good and worth the trip. Although we had relatively little time left afterward, we did manage to see some of the regular exhibition as well. Apparently some of it was being remodeled, so we'll have to come back to see the rest. Because of covid restrictions only 12 people are allowed into the museum shop, so when you pass it and there's no queue, go in right away if you want to check it out.
Employee only restaurant/bar located at the former espressobar section of the Aula, which serves vegetarian and vegan fare. Gorgeous design, great service and of course tasty food!
Delicious Indonesian takeaway food tucked away in the westmost corner of the De Hoven shopping mall, perfect for that night that you don't have time to cook but still want something tasty.
Small former mosque overlooking Monastiraki square, that now houses a folk art museum. The exhibition wasn't quite my thing, but as with all present and former houses of worship, it provides a pleasant quiet escape from the tourist bustle outside, and some of the features of the mosque were beautifully restored.
