Highlights on the map

1. Parthenon Gallery: The glass top floor, turned to line up with the Parthenon: the frieze, metopes and pediments set out as on the temple, with the rock in view.
2. Archaic Gallery: The Archaic korai, the Moschophoros and the Caryatids of the Erechtheion; the north wing goes on to late antiquity.
3. Restaurant and terrace: Level 2: the restaurant and its terrace looking up at the Acropolis.
4. Gallery of the Slopes: The ground-floor ramp with a glass floor over the excavated ancient neighbourhood, leading to the upper levels.
5. Archaeological excavation: The houses and streets under the museum, reached from the entrance courtyard, with their own opening hours.
6. Theatre of Dionysus (on the location map at the top): The ancient theatre on the south slope of the Acropolis, a short walk up from the museum.
7. Akropoli metro station: Line 2, the nearest station to the museum.

Entrance

• E1 · Main entrance: All visitors: ticket and information desks on the ground floor, a security check at the door; ramps at the entrances and lifts to all levels for visitors with reduced mobility. The exit is next to the entrance. Dionysiou Areopagitou 15, at the start of the pedestrian walkway.

For the rest of the city, the Athens tourist map marks the main sights across Athens and comes with a free PDF to print.

The plan stacks the museum levels on the building outline, seen from above, and numbers them from the ground floor to the top floor in visit order. The excavation is reached from the entrance courtyard and keeps its own opening hours. Inside, the ticket and information desks lead to the Gallery of the Slopes and its glass floor over the ancient neighbourhood; the Archaic Gallery fills level 1, the restaurant and terrace sit on level 2, and the Parthenon Gallery tops the building on level 3, turned to line up with the temple. Positions are approximate.
