As well as its wealth of ancient attractions, the city is also home to a thriving arts scene, fantastic cuisine, a lively nightlife and world class shopping. #### Areas & Neighbourhoods in Athens **Acropolis** – As the name suggests, this area of Athens is home to the city’s most famous attraction. As well as the ancient temples of the towering Acropolis, the neighbourhood also boasts pretty pedestrianized streets, the Herodeion Theatre, the New Acropolis Museum and the Hadrian Arch. A great place to explore on foot, the Acropolis offers fantastic views and historic sights around every corner. **Thissio** – Lying at the foot of the Acropolis, the pretty area of Thissio is packed with trendy cafes and bars. The perfect place to enjoy an afternoon coffee or an al fresco lunch, Thissio is within walking distance of Plaka and the centre of Athens. **Plaka** – The most picturesque part of Athens, the traditional neighbourhood of Plaka is a must see during your time in the city. The area boasts a choice of souvenir shops, bars, cafes and traditional Greek taverns, making it a fantastic destination for an afternoon of sightseeing. **Syntagma** – Syntagma Square is located at the heart of modern Athens. The area is home to the imposing Greek Parliament, a host of spectacular neo-classical buildings and Ermou Street, the most famous shopping district in the city. Head to this central neighbourhood to shop, admire its impressive architecture and see the parliament guards in their traditional uniforms. #### Things to See in Athens The main sight to see in Athens is the Acropolis. Dating back to the 5th and 6th centuries BC, the complex of temples and religious buildings remains breathtaking to this day. Other important sights include Syntagma Square, one of the largest in Greece, the Ancient Agora of Athens, the Arch of Hadrian and the New Acropolis Museum. Head up to the top of Lykavittos Hill to get a great view of Athens, the Acropolis, Piraeus and the coast. #### Things to Do in Athens For visitors interested in Ancient Greek culture and history, Athens has an endless choice of attractions to discover. Once they’ve finished exploring the temples, museums and ancient buildings that dot the city, holidaymakers can indulge in a bit of retail therapy on Ermou Street, take in a show at one of the 148 stages that dot the city or enjoy an outdoor drink at one of the many pavement bars and cafes found throughout Athens. After dark, the central districts of Athens throng with partygoers, however, those who want to dance into the small hours will need to head to the coast where most of the city’s clubs can be found.
