This ticket also comes with a complimentary self‑guided audio walking tour of Athens, offering a dual exploration of the museum's artefacts and the city's landscape. Beyond your visit, you can activate the city tour at any time, wander through the streets and alleys of Athens, uncover hidden cultural corners of the city, and decode the myths and traces of time that shaped Athenian civilisation – ensuring history is no longer confined to the exhibition halls.

The guide service offers maximum flexibility, accessible at any time before, during, or after your visit. You can preview the collection in advance, reference it on site while viewing, or revisit it afterwards to savour the details. No need to follow a group pace or be restricted by fixed routes – take full control of your travel rhythm.

Leave behind the superficial, check‑in style of sightseeing, and use smart technology as your bridge to an immersive encounter with the glorious past of ancient Greece, unlocking the unique charm of Athenian civilisation and embarking on a journey of tracing civilisational roots that is exclusively yours, spanning millennia.
