The Acropolis Museum is situated in the historic center of Athens, just southeast of the Acropolis. The address is Dionysiou Areopagitou 15, Athens 117 42, Greece.
The Acropolis Museum is designed to be accessible for people with disabilities. It has ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms to accommodate visitors with mobility challenges.
On average, visitors spend around 1,5 hours in the museum. We recommend that you have at least 2 hours to spend in the museum to go over the exhibits at a leisurely pace.
Photography is allowed in most areas of the museum, with the exception of the Archaic Acropolis Gallery on the first floor, without the use of flash.
Ideally, it's best to visit the Acropolis Museum during the early hours of the day; it tends to get crowded between 11 AM to 2 PM.
It comes down to your personal preference if you want to visit the Acropolis or the Acropolis museum first. However, if you have only one day in Athens we recommend you to visit the Acropolis first in order to avoid the crowds and the heat.
