PXI OP / 
While the Acropolis was the ceremonial showpiece, it was the Agora that was the real heart of ancient Athens. For some 800 years, from its founding in the sixth century B.C. to its destruction by barbarians in A.D. 267, it was the hub of all commercial, political, and social life in Athens, as well as home to much of its religious life.
Agora means gathering place, but you could call this space by any of the names we typically give to the busiest part of a citydowntown, main square, forum, piazza, marketplace, commons, and so on. It was a lively place where the pace never let upmuch like modern Athens.
Little survives from the classical Agora. Other than one very well-preserved temple and a rebuilt stoa, its a field of humble ruins. But that makes it a quiet, uncrowded spotnestled in the shadow of the Acropolisto wander and get a feel for the ancients.
Cost: 4 or covered by 12 Acropolis ticket (which you can buy here).
Hours: Daily May-Sept 8:00-20:00, Oct-April 8:00-15:00, last entry 30 minutes before closing. The Agora Museum inside has the same hours, except on Mon when it opens at 13:00.
Getting There: From Monastiraki (Metro line 1/green or line 3/ blue), walk a block south (uphill, toward the Acropolis). Turn right on Adrianou street, and follow the pedestrian-only, caf-lined street along the railroad tracks for about 200 yards. The Agora entrance is on your left, across from a small yellow church. The entrance can be hard to spot: Its where a path crosses over the railroad tracks (look for a small, pale-yellow sign that says Ministry of CultureAncient Agora ) .
Compass Points: The Agora entrance is north; the Acropolis is south.
Information: Panels with printed descriptions of the ruins are scattered helpfully throughout the site. Tel. 210-321-0180, www.culture.gr .
Audioguide Tours: A free audio version of this tour is available at www.ricksteves.com/audioeurope and from iTunes.
Cuisine Art: Picnicking is not allowed in the Agora. Plenty of cafs and tavernas line busy Adrianou street near the Agora entrance, and more good eateries front the Apostolou Pavlou pedestrian walkway that hems in the western edge of the Agora, in the district called Thissio.
