From the iconic Acropolis rising majestically above the city to modern-art galleries, charming neighbourhood squares and lively bars, bustling Athens is a delightfully quirky clash of past and present, a city that confronts and surprises. Visitors are drawn by ancient monuments bathed in the famous light, but its the citys infectious, creative vibe that enamours and enlivens.
The greatest symbol of the glory of ancient Greece, and a wonder of the world, the Acropolis (High City) rises spectacularly over Athens. Explore its magnificent Parthenon, the pinnacle of classical civilisation.

Insider tips to help you find the real Athens
After visiting Athens' magnificent ancient wonders it's time to experience neighbourhood life in the city: we'll show you the way through the downtown hurly-burly to quiet shaded cafes and delightful neighbourhood squares, and guide you to Athenians' favourite dining haunts, shopping spots, galleries and bars.
Bustling markets
Favourite hang-outs
Monastiraki's antique-lined squares and jam-packed pedestrian markets always draw Athenians, but new breeds of coffeeshops, restaurants and bars have sprung up and attract a hip, young crowd. Spend the day exploring the traditional and the trendy, manoeuvring through chaos and charm, grit and ancient splendour.
Awesome people-watching
Sensory extravaganzas
Athens' Central Market anchors a neighbourhood thrumming with activity and sensations. The market and its environs are an extravaganza of colours, scents and sounds comprising spice shops, tavernas, art galleries and the city's premier rembetika (blues songs) club.
Cool boutiques
Top cocktails
Plaka with its historic houses, Byzantine churches and winding narrow lanes climbing the slopes of the Acropolis is much more than a tourist mecca. We'll show you how to shop like a local, and later head into Syntagma to find one of the city's most up-and-coming bar districts.
