Athens questions
Is three days enough for Athens?
Three days covers the Acropolis, the Agora and the central sites if you start early each morning. Most stops are walkable, with the metro for longer hops.
Do I need to book Acropolis tickets ahead?
Book Acropolis tickets online at least one week in advance during spring and summer. Same-day lines at the gate often exceed two hours.
Can I walk between the sights in Athens?
Yes, most of this trip is on foot. The Acropolis, Plaka, the Agora and Syntagma are all within a 20 minute walk of each other; use metro line 1 or 3 for longer hops.
What is the best way to reach the National Archaeological Museum?
Walk about 20 minutes from Syntagma Square, or take metro line 1 to Victoria station and walk 5 minutes. Check the museum website for current prices and hours.
