Exploring the Acropolis Museum provides further insight into the history of the site and its artifacts.

Another notable area is the Plaka, the old neighborhood of Athens, where visitors can wander through narrow streets lined with shops, cafes, and neoclassical buildings. This area retains a charming atmosphere that reflects the city's history. Nearby, the Ancient Agora offers a glimpse into daily life in ancient Athens, featuring ruins of temples and a reconstruction of the Stoa of Attalos, which houses a museum.
