Agora of Athens Tickets + Audio Guide

Visit the Agora of Athens

For centuries, the Agora of Athens was the nerve centre of the Greek capital: a space where political meetings, philosophical debates, commercial transactions and religious ceremonies were held. Walking among its archaeological remains will allow you to imagine what daily life was like for the Athenians more than 2,000 years ago.

With the audio guide in English included, you'll immerse yourself in the secrets of the Agora. For 2 hours, you'll discover legends, anecdotes and fascinating details. Every corner will come to life, and you'll understand the importance of this place as a political, social and cultural centre. Are you ready to be transported to the grandeur of Classical Greece?

One of the first places you'll visit is the Stoa of Attalos, rebuilt in the 20th century and now converted into the Museum of the Ancient Agora. Its spacious galleries house unique pieces found in the excavations, authentic treasures that narrate the daily life of the ancient Athenians.

When you reach the imposing Temple of Hephaestus, you'll be surprised by its magnificent condition after more than two millennia standing. Did you know that it's one of the best-preserved Doric temples of Antiquity?

As you climb the hill of Agoraios Kolonos, you'll enjoy privileged views of the Acropolis in the distance. You'll take plenty of photos!
