About Atenas

Atenas ergue a Acrópole sobre uma moderna capital extensa, onde ruínas antigas, ruelas nas encostas e longas noites de taberna convivem lado a lado.

O Pártenon coroa a Acrópole, ladeado pelo Erecteion e pelo seu pórtico das cariátides, e o Museu da Acrópole, ao sopé da colina, expõe as esculturas encontradas no rochedo. Em redor, a Ágora antiga, o Templo de Zeus Olímpico, o Arco de Adriano e o estádio Panatenaico de mármore tornam fácil percorrer a pé a cidade clássica.

Top-ranked sights in Atenas: Acropolis, Parthenon, Acropolis Museum.
