Acropolis Museum

It's beautiful and clean but all the people are taking photos (it's forbidden though) and this way you can't observe the object. The description of a piece of art is only understandable for those who knows the Greek mythology and the architecture technical words. The terrace is nice plus the excavation area is cool to check.

We visited here on our short stay in Athens and it’s definitely worth it. It’s only 3 floors and in the basement they have the excavated town, which is super interesting. Buy your tickets online and this will save you time in the queues. It isn’t a big museum, in a good way, so it doesn’t take long to go round. But some of the artefacts are so old, it’s super fascinating. The view of the Acropolis is also fantastic

We were on a Mediterranean cruise and decided to do Athens on our own. We got a transfer from the port to Athens with no specific plans. The we arrived about 8:30am. The line to the Acropolis was extremely long. We noticed the museum across from the Acropolis entrance and decided to go, and I’m sure glad we did. We waited about 15 minutes for the museum to open. The artifacts on exhibit were incredible. We spent about 2 hours but could easily have spent a half day. The museum has a restaurant where we had a very good sandwich and beer. It is recommended that you do the museum before going to the Acropolis and I would agree for a different perspective. The museum is definitely worth seeing while in Athens.
