The New Acropolis Museum is the definite must for everybody visiting the city and the best way to complete the archaeological tour to the Acropolis of Athens.
The New Acropolis Museum was designed by Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi in co-operation with the Greek architect Michalis Photiadis. Its unique design has incorporated the excavations which are visible under stunning glass floors.
The Acropolis masterpieces are marked out and given the prominence they deserve through the ideal interior atmosphere conditions, the natural lighting, as well as easy visitor access, panoramic views and excellent layout of the exhibition areas. It exhibits about 4,000 artifacts.
The meeting point is inside the Acropolis Museum in front of the cash desk where the Acropolis tickets are issued. Your guide will be waiting there for you holding in his/her hands the orange colored Athens Walking Tours sign. Your guide will help you or will purchase the tickets for you depending on the traffic so that you can skip the lines. Make sure that you get there at 13:15 p.m. because the tour starts at 13:30 p.m.
