A Short Visit to the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece in 4K
This is just a short video impression of my visit to Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece. The Acropolis Museum is located in the center of Athens, about 300 meters from the rock of the Acropolis.

Athens City Tour Including Acropolis and Museum - Three Continent Adventure
It is almost cruise time... but first, we are getting a full guided tour of the City of Athens! We all board a giant pink bus and are on our way! First stop is the original grounds of the first modern Olympics of 1896! Then, all events were held in one stadium. Now we have separate stadiums and arenas for every different sport. Then we just make it to the Parliament Building for the hourly Changing of the Guard. And our last, and most majestic stop, the Acropolis! We begin the walk up, which you think you will never make it to the top. Then when you do, it is breathtaking! Not only to see the city from the highest point but to see the Parthenon and other temples and think of the thousands of people over thousands of years who made the same climb you just did. Wow! You are literally walking in history! Speaking of history, the last stop was the nearby Acropolis Museum which houses all of the artifacts found during the excavation of the Acropolis over many years. And the coolest thing is that it is built over a ruin site and all of the floors are glass so you can see the ruins below.

20 Things to do in Athens Greece Top Attractions Travel Guide Transcript:
Well, good afternoon from sunny Athens. We are currently exploring the Greek capital. We recently actually spent a few days traveling around Meteora and now we're finishing up our trip here in Athens. We've got two full days to explore the city which isn't a lot of time but we're going to try to do our best.
Our first stop was one of the most recognized sights in Athens - the Parthenon, which was dedicated to the goddess Athena who was seen as the patron of Athens.
After sunset we lingered atop Mount Lycabettus for some night views of the city before taking the funicular down to the bottom. Seeing the Acropolis all lit up at night was a pretty cool sight!
Next up we visited the Temple of Zeus which once housed the statue of Zeus, and was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
When it comes to shopping, there are a few different options. We made our way to Monastiraki, which is one of the principal shopping districts in Athens. Here we visited both the Flea Market and the antique shops in the area.
The Agora was the central spot in ancient Greek city-states, and it is where people gathered.
So we are wrapping up our time here in Athens. Any surprises or final thoughts to share? Yeah, something that really surprised me were just the amount of stray animals that I saw on the streets.
I also thought there was really good dining options as well. We had a number of really good Greek meals and also some really good International food too.
Final thoughts, I think this is a really underrated capital in Europe. A lot like Warsaw in Poland so if you have an opportunity to visit Athens in Greece definitely do so.
So what did you think of Athens? Well, I thought it was a really cool city and I actually had a great time here. It kind of reminded me a little bit of Tel Aviv with the Mediterranean feel but also Berlin because it is very artsy and gritty. So it's a really cool place to check out. Great food, lots of attractions. You have a mix of antiquity with urban.
And that's a wrap for Athens! We hope you enjoyed this city guide and that it'll come in handy when you plan your own trip.
This is part of our Travel in Greece series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Greek culture, Greek arts, Greek foods & Greek cuisine.
