Positives:

  • Smooth stroller access: Elevators and ramps connect all floors, so you can move freely with a buggy.

Challenges:

  • No baby-changing facilities: Bring a portable changing mat; no changing tables on site.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely fascinating museum! The collection is well organized and gives a clear timeline of ancient civilizations in the region. The artifacts are beautifully preserved, and the explanations are easy to follow without being overwhelming.

This has a lot of very interesting content. The history covered is phenomenal and to see things as old and significant as the items here is awe inspiring. The history in here didn't just impact Greece but the whole world. There are a few things to keep in mind; The staff have no sense of humour and some of them are incredibly grumpy. The food in the cafe is really, really expensive and if it's a...

The exhibits c...

I can highly recommend it to everyone it’s very interesting, and you’ll need at least 3–5 hours to go through it all. The ticket costs around €20. The place is pleasantly air-conditioned and has clean, proper restrooms.

It’s a pretty interesting museum, be prepared to walk, because the route is quite long. After going through the entire museum, there’s a large area where you can sit, grab a snack, and take a break. They offer audio guides in several languages. Unfortunately, the gift shop wasn’t open when I visited.

When is the best time to visit National Archaeological Museum (Athens, Greece)?
