• Acropolis Museum - The Acropolis Museum is an archaeological museum dedicated to the discoveries from the Acropolis of Athens archaeological site. It was constructed to house every artifact found on the rock and surrounding slopes, spanning from the Greek Bronze Age to Roman and Byzantine Greece. The museum is also situated above the ruins of part of Roman and early Byzantine Athens.

The museum was established in 2003, with the Museum Organization formed in 2008. It opened to the public on June 20, 2009. Over 4,250 objects are displayed across an area of 14,000 square meters.

• Pnyx - The Pnyx is a hill located in central Athens, Greece’s capital. As early as 507 BC, Athenians gathered on the Pnyx to hold their popular assemblies, making it one of the earliest and most significant sites in the development of democracy.

The Pnyx is situated less than 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) west of the Acropolis and 1.6 kilometers (0.99 mi) southwest of Syntagma Square in central Athens.

• Arch of Hadrian - The Arch of Hadrian, commonly known in Greek as Hadrian’s Gate, is a monumental gateway that resembles a Roman triumphal arch. It spanned an ancient road from the center of Athens, Greece, to the complex of structures on the eastern side of the city, including the Temple of Olympian Zeus.

It is believed that the arch was constructed to celebrate the arrival of Roman Emperor Hadrian and to honor him for his many contributions to the city, coinciding with the dedication of the nearby temple complex in 131 or 132 AD. Since Hadrian became an Athenian citizen nearly two decades before the monument was built, Kouremenos suggests that the inscriptions on the arch honor him as an Athenian rather than as the Roman emperor.

• Temple of Olympian Zeus - The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple located in the heart of Athens, Greece. It was dedicated to “Olympian” Zeus, a name derived from his role as the leader of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC under the Athenian tyrants, who envisioned creating the greatest temple in the ancient world. However, it was not completed until the reign of Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, approximately 638 years after the project began. During the Roman era, the temple, which featured 104 colossal columns, was renowned as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues in the ancient world.
• Panathinaiko Stadio - The Panathenaic Stadium, or Kallimarmaro, meaning “beautiful marble,” is a multi-purpose stadium in Athens, Greece. As one of Athens’ main historic attractions, it is the only stadium in the world constructed entirely of marble.
  A stadium was initially built on the site of a simple racecourse by the Athenian statesman Lykourgos (Lycurgus) around 330 BC, primarily for the Panathenaic Games. It was reconstructed in marble by Herodes Atticus, an Athenian Roman senator, and by 144 AD, it had a capacity of 50,000 seats. After the rise of Christianity in the 4th century, it was largely abandoned. The stadium was excavated in 1869 and hosted the Zappas Olympics in 1870 and 1875. After refurbishment, it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the first modern Olympics in 1896 and was the venue for 4 of the 9 contested sports. It was used for various purposes in the 20th century and was once again used as an Olympic venue in 2004. It serves as the finishing point for the annual Athens Classic Marathon.
• Hellenic Parliament - The Hellenic Parliament, formally known as Voulí ton Ellínon, also referred to as the Parliament of the Hellenes or Greek Parliament, is Greece’s unicameral legislature, located in the Old Royal Palace overlooking Syntagma Square in Athens. The parliament is the supreme democratic institution representing citizens through an elected body of Members of Parliament.
• Evzonoi - The Evzones or Evzonoi were historically elite light infantry and mountain units of the Greek Army. Today, they are members of the Presidential Guard, a ceremonial unit that guards the Greek Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Presidential Mansion in Athens. An Evzone is also colloquially known as a Tsoliás. Evzones are recognized for their distinctive uniform, which evolved from the attire worn by the klephts who resisted the Ottoman occupation of Greece. The most notable item of this uniform is the fustanella, a kilt-like garment. Their unique dress has made them a popular symbol of the Greek soldier, especially among foreigners.
• The Academy of Athens - The Academy of Athens is Greece’s national academy and the highest research institution in the country. It was established in 1926, with its founding principles tracing back to the historical Academy of Plato, and operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Education.
• National and Kapodistrian University of Athens - The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (EKPA), commonly known as the University of Athens, is a higher education institution based in Athens. It was established by Regency Law on December 31, 1836 (old calendar) by royal decree of Otto on April 14, 1837, and has been in continuous operation since May 3, 1837 (the third day of Easter). It is the largest university in Greece, following the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, with over 40,000 undergraduate students and more than 2,000 teaching and research staff.
• National Library of Greece - The National Library of Greece is the main public library of Greece, located in Athens. Founded by Ioannis Kapodistrias in 1832, its mission is to locate, collect, organize, describe, and preserve the enduring evidence of Greek culture and its evolution over time, as well as significant representative evidence of human intellectual production.
• Omonia Square - Omonoia Square, “Concord Square,” often simply referred to as Omónoia, is a central square in Athens. It forms the center of Omonoia and marks the northern corner of the downtown area defined by the city plans of the 19th century. It is one of the city’s principal traffic hubs and is served by the Omonoia metro station.

Omonoia Square is one of the oldest squares in Athens and a significant shopping center. It is located at the city’s center at the intersection of six main streets: Panepistimiou, Stadiou, Athinas, Peiraios, Agiou Konstantinou Street, and 3rd Septemvriou Street.

• Klafthmonos Square - Klathmonos Square, meaning “crying square,” was named after a vignette in the magazine Hestia. It was here, in front of the Ministry of Finance (which has since been demolished), that dismissed civil servants gathered after each election to protest their dismissal. At that time, there was no permanency for civil servants, and each new government would dismiss officials hired by the previous administration and hire its own supporters.
• National History Museum (Old Parliament) - The Old Parliament House on Stadiou Street in Athens housed the Greek Parliament between 1875 and 1935. It now accommodates the country’s National Historical Museum.

The site was originally occupied by the house of Athenian magnate and politician Alexandros Kontostavlos. After Athens became the capital of Greece in 1833, King Otto selected it as a temporary residence, pending the construction of the Royal Palace (which currently houses Parliament). In 1835, a large dance and banquet hall was added to the house, and after the 1843 Revolution, which forced King Otto to grant a constitution, the National Assembly convened here. In October 1854, however, the house was destroyed by fire. Construction of a new building began in August 1858, with the foundation laid by Queen Amalia, based on plans by French architect Francois Boulanger.

• Syntagma - Syntagma Square, “Constitution Square,” is the central square of Athens. The square is named after the Constitution that Otto, the first King of Greece, was compelled to grant following a popular and military uprising on September 3, 1843. It is located in front of the 19th-century Old Royal Palace, which has housed the Greek Parliament since 1934. Syntagma Square is the most significant square in modern Athens from both a historical and social perspective, at the heart of commercial activity and Greek politics. The name Syntagma also refers to the neighborhood surrounding the square. The metro station beneath the square, where lines 2 and 3 connect, along with the tram terminal and numerous bus stops, constitutes one of the busiest transport hubs in the country.
