Try to visit the museum as early as you can, preferentially in the morning, so that you can avoid staying in a line to get in.

You just have to go to the Acropolis Museum right after visiting the Acropolis and Parthenon. It is very informative and amazing to look at. Highly recommended.

loved this museum, great half day. AMAZING food in the cafe looking up at beautiful views, the food was a tad expensive but that's what you get in any museum cafe.

Was pretty interesting, very cool display of old homes underneath the museum upon entering. Included lots of models of what the city used to look like, did not find this interesting - I am only interested in the actual items.

Also on the 4th floor we watched a 20min. film showing how the Parthenon was built. Over all, a very wonderful experience, that takes you back to a... More
