    No wait when going early in the morning. The Temple of Hephaestus is spectacular. The rest of the area is not as preserved, but being able to walk the same paths as Socrates, Paul, Alexander, Aristotle and many others. Google maps works well for finding the main entrance. The site is fenced off and has only one entrance and exit. Good museum with artifacts recovered at this site. Tickets were €10 in September 2022.

    This place is a must when in Athens, without a doubt. Lots of history, great ruins, a restored stoa, a nearly intact preserved ancient temple, great view of the acropolis and lots of places to take a break in the shade. In my opinion, the place is more worthwhile than the Acropolis. If you can get a guide they will provide a bit of perspective and context, but if you can't or don't want to afford one its still an awesome place to visit.

    This is it, the birthplace of Western democracy. It’s a beautiful spot, the ruins are impressive - none more so than the Temple of Hephaestus, which is the most complete temple (with intact roof!) that I have yet had the good fortune to see. The museum is also worth the walk through, and gives you a good feeling for what the buildings might have been like in ancient times.

    Great sightseeing. 10€ per person or 5€ in off season (Nov-Apr). Let me be honest: 30min are enough to see all “major” stuff - no need to reserve half a day for that, unless you want to study history of each sculpture inside…

    Visiting this place is a must when in Athens, as much as visiting the Acropolis. There are a number of sites to see, great ruins, a restored stoa, a nearly intact preserved ancient temple, great view of the acropolis and lots of places to take a break in the shade. If you can, get a guide that will provide a bit of context, but if you can't afford one it's still an awesome place to visit.

    Really stunning structure in amongst the trees, loads of grounds to explore and an archaeological museum too. Very easy to get to, right in the centre. This was a nice extra thing to do after the Acropolis. Very good stop.

    One of the very must-see places within Athens with a beautiful collection of things inside to see. Ensure to check in advance before entering as there is only one entrance and you wouldn't want to miss it and end up walking all the way around Looking for another entrance as we did 😅.

    Bought ticket in advance but wasn't necessary in the end. Great to walk around and lots to see here, huge site and interesting. Enjoyed my visit a lot. I only got tickets to this and the Acropolis & museum. Would recommend these if limited time

    Amazing space with plenty to see. Museum is interesting and informative, and there’s boards at key places around the site to tell you more. Worth the steps up to the temple, if not only for the views!

    Absolutely awesome place to visit, great museum with lots of ancient artifacts, works of art. The building’s architecture is stunning, it’s in amazing condition. The museum has a vast collection, it’s very well preserved and displayed. I really enjoyed my time here and I would definitely recommend visiting the Agora.

    (Translated by Google) The Agora of Athens was founded in the middle of the 6th century BC. and was the center of Athenian public life during classical and Hellenistic times. The most important public buildings and sanctuaries of the city were built in the Agora. (Original) Η Αγορά των Αθηνών ιδρύθηκε στα μέσα του 6ου αιώνα π.Χ. και αποτέλεσε το κέντρο της δημόσιας ζωής των Αθηναίων κατά τους κλασικούς και τους ελληνιστικούς χρόνους. Στην Αγορά κτίστηκαν τα σημαντικότερα δημόσια κτίρια και ιερά της πόλης.

    Cool park to walk around, everything is open to view, there are toilets in the newly renovated agora. And if you're lucky you will find a wild tortis.

    This is one of the locations that you may visit with the combination pass that you used to visit Acropolis. You may get it the ticket online or in person at the front ticket booth. For me this is more enjoyable to view you since it has more trees and a more comfortable Pathway to walk around with. also there is a large Museum that shows many different artifacts that were found in the area. In this Agora, there is a temple that you may also visit. although you cannot enter the temple, you can walk around it. the majority of the structure is still intact for you to study and look at. it has a very large area for you to explore. I would highly recommend you take your time and enjoy the place then end it with the museum so that you may rest up and be ready for your next adventure

    It's worth your time!! After the Acropolis, this should be next on your list. It's really interesting and you can easily spend around 1 h or more there. They also have a mini museum on the top floor.

    This is a nice quiet area, large and beautiful site. There are plenty of benches and lots of shade to hide from the bright sun. The cost for entry is low and was included in the "city" pass from "getyourgiude". There are so many restaurants on the street leading to the entrance, but if visiting around lunch time I suggest packing a lunch and having a picnic under the trees and enjoying the day.

    After Acropolis, the next best archeological site to visit. Give yourself 30 min or so if you plan to browse through the museum as well. Best views: late afternoon / closer to sunset.

  • 5/5 Ally M. 1 month ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    Definitely a must place visit when in Athens. The area is huge and has a serene atmosphere. Beautiful views of the acropolis. Try and visit around sunset as the place will look magical. Plenty of bars and restaurants with views of the Agora are literally meters away. Definitely buy your tickets on line (€5) from the official site as at the price at the entrance is double and you will need to queue.

    Awesome place to walk slowly with the map. On the first floor there are a few models of Acropolis and other places in Athens. Its good to buy city pass ticket for all 7 places in Athens

  • 5/5 Jay A. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a secondary location to visit after the Acropolis and it was much more laid back. In the late afternoon, there were no crowds so we could take our time and leisurely stroll through the ruins. The Roman influence was clear on this site, much more so than I had imagined beforehand.

  • 5/5 Christopher B. 1 year ago on Google
    We might have enjoyed this site even more than the Acropolis! The entrance fee was very reasonable, maybe because it was November and fees are discounted. But you get two major attractions in one: the Agora Museum and the Temple of Hephaestus. The temple is incredibly preserved. The museum was very informative. This should be on the list of must-see stops in Athens along with the Acropolis and the National Archaeological Museum.

  • 4/5 Anthony T. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful ancient city. Much less crowded than the Acropolis but with comparable charm and a well preserved temple. Features a section rebuilt to give the impression of how the “town” actually used to be. It’s unfortunate that the signage is sparse and there weren’t enough descriptions. Certainly underrated!

    The Ancient Agora of Athens is a captivating archaeological site that provides a vivid glimpse into the daily life of ancient Greeks. Surrounded by iconic structures like the Temple of Hephaestus, it exudes historical charm. The well-preserved Stoa of Attalos and the intriguing artifacts in the museum enrich the experience, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts.

  • 5/5 Onoufrios D. 3 years ago on Google
    A beautiful and peaceful archaeological park in the historical centre of Athens where the heart of the ancient city used to beat. You can see the BEST-PRESERVED TEMPLE in all of Greece as well as the wonderful museum of the site which was the birthplace of DEMOCRACY and a place where SOCRATES used to teach in the 5th cent BC.

    Another archeological site, which is great to visit if you are interested in ancient history. It's nice walk. I recommend late afternoon hours, it's beautiful light and there are plenty benches to sit and enjoy to see acropolis on the hill.

    So many iconic sites on these grounds. The museum is small but has lots of interesting things. Beautiful columns. There are many cicadas in the park so they chirp the entire time, it was annoying at first but it dulled out eventually. It's nothing to dissuade. The land was really quite beautiful, partially because of its location near the Acropolis, it connects to the idea that was part of a larger society.

    Hidden Gem of Athens. For me this was way more spectacular than the Akropolis and the Parthenon. Here are almost no people wandering around and you have a lot more time to inspect and see the detailed patterns and carvings.

    This is No. 2 place after Acopolis. Absolutely a MUST to come. ~2 hours of great time. Walk around. Nice buildings. I had most fun here. No climbing like was for the Acropolis, and still great views. Cannot stress more to come and see this.

    Worth the visit, temple of Hephaestus looked incredible. Not too over crowded and you get enough time to admire the views without people stepping on your toes. Free toilet facilities on the site, no food or drinks allowed. Wear comfortable shoes as there is much ground to cover.

    It was such a joy to come here on a early morning as it was completely empty and I had the whole place to my self. It is well worth a visit, one of the best places I visited in Athens. I did also go on a Sunday which was not recommended it was uncomfortably busy which made it very hard to enjoy fully so I recommend week day and early.

  • 3/5 Mat X. 1 year ago on Google
    We came and visited the site only because we bought a multi pass at the Acropolis. We probably wouldn’t have paid for this by itself. It’s mostly all ruins except for the Temple of Hephaestus. It does have a nice museum with lots of replicas of busts but unless you are a super history buff or have the multi pass, I would skip this one.

  • 5/5 Ramez S. 1 year ago on Google
    In Agora Park there is a very large selection of very ancient buildings and ruins, the largest and most impressive of which is the Temple of Hephaestus. There is also a small museum inside. Up the park there is a hill with an amazing panoramic view of the city and the Acropolis. In my opinion, if you have visited the Acropolis before then there is no point in going up for an observation there, because the view is the same and the Acropolis is higher. I recommend incorporating the Agora as you descend from the Acropolis, there are trails that connect them. This way you will save unnecessary ups and your way will be down.

  • 5/5 Wen Cong L. 1 year ago on Google
    Not as many grand buildings as compared to the Acropolis site but there were more ruins (20+) to discover. There were many information boards that explains the history of the ancient ruins so you don't really need a guide. There was also a museum which is included in the ticket which can take up quite a bit of time if you read everything. Give yourself at least 3hrs hrs if you want to take it easy and see/read everything. Not very crowded from 1230 to 3pm (26 Mar 23, €5/person off peak reduced price) This is a must see place to visit after Acropolis especially if you like reading up history.

    Amazing place and I love how it has been partially restored. There is also a museum inside, which is included in the ticket. Speaking of the ticket, it is apart of the combined ticket for €30 with the Acropolis and a few other archeological sites or you can get in for free if you're an EU resident under 25. Overall I would definitely recommend visiting, there is just so much to see.

    Certainly worth the €10 entrance fee. The Hephaestus Temple is beautiful, majestic! The views of the Acropolis from the Ancient Agora are just magnificent. We arrived somewhat later in the morning at around 10:30 and found no queue at the ticket desk. Also no huge crowds inside. It's a "must see" when in Athens.

    Loved the Agora. It was great to walk through the ruins and listen to my wife tell me nonstop how we’re walking in Socrates footsteps. While I didn’t have the chance to meet the guy, it was still a memorable experience. Don’t forget to go to the temple. It’s amazing!

    Great view of the Acropolis, as well as having a small museum to visit and lots of ruins to wander through. Very well preserved Temple of Hephaestus worth the visit alone. Entry included as part of the €30 tickets (2023 price) which also get you in to the Acropolis itself (although not the Acropolis museum).

    We visited this site on the Athens Combo Pass (you can get it online or at the Acropolis) and we really enjoyed ourselves. We spent a few hours looking at everything. The temple, the museum and Agora, statues and pillars surrounding what was once a theatre, and much more are here to see. Highly recommend making time for this.

    Amazing, park-like stroll. The two highlights for me were the rebuilt marketplace and museum. İ have been to many agora ruins in the Aegean. İt was cool to see how they looked in their heyday. The Temple of Hephaestus is also a must-see. Look especially for the friezes along the inner walls to understand what was stolen from the Parthenon by Lord Elgin.

    No queue to get into the venue. Easy to nativgate around the grounds, while viewing the Stoa of Attalos as well. The museum has a small walk through, gift shop and toilets located within the building. As you're walking around, you get a good view of the acropolis as a backdrop. Signs are in Greek and English which is helpful for any tourists. After a small walk up some steps, you come across the Temple of Hephaestus which you can walk around the outside of. All in all a very good trip around and a good way to spend a few hours

    (Translated by Google) Nowadays in the surroundings of the current neighborhoods of Plaka and Monastiraki, and against the background of the Acropolis, the Agora enclosure came to mean as a whole the maximum expression of social, political and administrative life, as well as religious life of the cops from Athens. With the clear exception of the Stoa of Atalo and the temple of Hephaestus, and due to the detereriro caused by the passage of time, perhaps you should read something about it or have some prior knowledge, before entering, to be able to get a The closest idea of ​​the different existing spaces, their various uses, and of course their meaning, within classical Athenian daily life. It is a must-see visit and is included in the general package that can be purchased when visiting the city. It is usually quite crowded, but due to its remarkable length it is not difficult to navigate and enjoy it with ease.

Con la clara excepción de la Estoa de Átalo y el templo de Hefesto, y debido al detereriro causado por el transcurso del tiempo, quizás se deba leer algo sobre la misma o tener unos conocimientos previos, antes de entrar, para poder llegar a hacerse una idea más aproximada de los diferentes espacios existentes, de sus diversos usos, y por supuesto de su significado, dentro de la vida cotidiana ateniense clásica. Se trata de una visita más que obligada y que figura dentro del paquete general que se puede adquirir al visitar la ciudad. Suele estar bastante concurrida, pero por su notable extensión no es difícil de recorrer y difrutarla con tranquilidad.

    If you visit one historic site in Athens besides the Akropolis, make it this one. The scale and variety of this agora is unlike most historical sites. There is so much to see and learn here. The temple of Hephaestus just makes you think of what life must have been like back then. The entrance fee is nothing for the experience you get. We did go after peak season and during covid, so it wasn't busy. It was a pain to find the entrance though and we had to walk around the large domain this is on to find it. Also we saw some stray tortoise walking in the ruins.

    My brother and I got in for free since we are both under 25 but the regular admission fee is €20. It's definitely expensive, but for us, it was obviously worth it. There was some restoration going on and some parts of the temple were rebuilt and looked a bit modern but it looked quite beautiful. Nice view of the entire city(which is huge) and a lot to see. I don't know if I would spend €20 to see it since you can see different parts of it throughout the city, but it was a good experience.

    Way bigger than the Roman one. There are nice models of how it looked like through time upstairs. Also there is an ancient temple with a roof intact nearby. It's good to entry with the 30 euro package deal for Athens sights. EU citiziens under 25 have free entry.

    The area is breathtaking to imagine the history but is mostly a field of rubble, though there are many informative signs. The museum has many important and interesting artifacts, like the baby toilet from the 2nd century BC! The most intact structure is the Temple of Hephaistos, but entrance was blocked. The visit was made much more meaningful due to a free audio tour I downloaded from online, by tour guide Rick Steves, so I highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Petruţ I. 3 years ago on Google
    It is the best preserved monument in Athens. I feel it's a must see to understand the scale and scope of the Parthenon at Acropolis. It is also a very nice park and walk. Not the most welcoming because of the ticket checking is the ticket selling point so queues are likely. Also just outside there are a few 'tourist trap' restaurants that I would avoid. Other than that, be prepared to have your mind blown!

  • 5/5 Kovacs K. 3 years ago on Google
    Huge site with the Temple of Hephaestus still in nice condition and a renewed building that housed stores in ancient times. There's a lot to see here and it's part of the combo ticket.

  • 5/5 Ang V. 3 years ago on Google
    one of the most beautiful places in the heart of Athens. Amazing architecture and aesthetic which you can enjoy from close up by paying a ticket or from a bit more far from the streets surrounding the area for free. Just be careful cause normally it's very crowded even in afternoons

  • 5/5 Celia B. 3 years ago on Google
    Hay un bono que te deja visitar todos los monumentos por un precio, los estudiantes salen gratis, pero hay que dejar muy claro ya que no lo dicen, una vez entras en uno de los sitios del bono, da igual la hora que sea, ya no puedes volver a entrar en el una vez salgas, te haya dado tiempo o no a verlo. Eso sí, si entras pronto puedes estar ahí todo el tiempo que quieras. Aparte de eso, es muy bonito, si hay poca gente es más flipante aún, y las reconstrucciones están genial.

    Um dos espaços mais importantes da história de Atenas é a Antiga Ágora (Ágora de Atenas). Construída por volta do século II a.C, ele abrigava vários prédios da administração pública, sendo considerada o coração da cidade e não uma mera praça cercada por prédios. No seu lado oeste ficavam os edifícios públicos, cada um representando um papel diferente na vida política da cidade. E por sua vez, em sua face leste, ficavam os mercados e feiras livres. A Ágora Antiga tem cerca de 28 pontos no mapa com ruínas de templos, monumentos, stoas (mais adiante explico o que são), bibliotecas, prédios públicos, etc. As coisas mais legais de se ver na Ágora Antiga são: => Templo de Hefesto: Hefesto, filho de Hera e Zeus (chamado de Vulcano em Roma), era o deus grego do fogo, dos metais e da metalurgia. Diferente do Partenon, o Templo tem todas as suas colunas intactas e conserva muito de seu teto original. Suas decorações, contudo, desapareceram em décadas de pilhagens e roubos. O Templo deve muito de sua sobrevivência ao fato de ter sido convertido em uma Igreja Cristã, a Igreja de São Jorge, no século VII d.C.. O interior foi removido e substitído por estruturas de igrejas cristãs. Durante os séculos do Império Otomano na Grécia, o templo foi a principal igreja da Igreja Ortodoxa em Atenas. Hoje o Templo é um sítio arqueológico e conserva uma cerca em sua volta. Mas os visitantes podem se aproximar bem mais perto do que do Partenon ou de outros locais gregos. => Monumento dos Heróis Epônimos: Era um pódio de mármore que continha as estátuas de bronze dos dez heróis que representavam as tribos de Atenas. Sendo um importante centro de informação para os antigos atenienses, foi usado como um monumento onde a legislação era proposta, decretos e anúncios. => Stoa de Atolas: Stoa era o nome pra um prédio retangular dos gregos onde faziam comércio e se reuniam pra discutir as coisas, similar um centro comercial moderno. Houve muitas stoas ao longo da estória de Atenas. A mais famosa, a de Attalos, virou museu, o Museu da Ágora. Foi toda reformada e fica ali juntinho da Ágora. => Odon: Era um lugar de diversão, onde eram feitas peças, dança… Seria o que hoje chamamos de teatro. O prédio tinha uma fachada grande e tem estátuas relativamente bem preservadas na fachada.

    Nice area near the Parthenon, containing several ruins. temples and a re-creation of the Agora. When we visited it was quite empty, a welcome difference to those other crowded tourist places.

  • 5/5 Simon P. 2 years ago on Google
    Large site with a huge number of archeological sites to visit. A must visit alongside the Acropolis and the National Archeological Museum. Get there either really early (opening time) or later (90 minutes before closing time) to enjoy the Forum with few visitors and really enjoy the history that comes alive as you walk around and understanding the workings of ancient Athens.

  • 4/5 Lejla Saric S. 2 years ago on Google
    Agora is a place of immense historical importance. Nevertheless if you do not read ahead about it, it is pretty difficult to find much about it at the actual place. You can wonder around and use your imagination which my daughter really loved doing.

  • 5/5 Carole A. 2 years ago on Google
    As you would expect, there are many historical sites to visit in Athens and this is definitely one of the more interesting ones. There's a little climb up to the Temple of Hephaestus, from where you can look across the agora to see the parthenon. There are a few benches in the shade to sit and ponder, as you wander over to the long, multi-pillarred stoa. Definitely worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Adrien P. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite nice walk worth it on its own but always better to get the combined ticket. Offers some nice views of the acropolis from below and some nice ruins to walk through. Definitely recommend

  • 3/5 Luis V. 2 years ago on Google
    The best place to visit inside the Agora is the temple of Hephaestus, it is the most preserved inside the Agora. The museum has barely any interesting pieces having in mind the price of the ticket. Maybe if you take the combined ticket (to see most of Athens attractions) it's worth the visit.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth M. 2 years ago on Google

    A majestic site of great historical importance. How can one visit Athens and the Acropolis without going to the Ancient Agora of Athens and the temple of Hephaestus. Beware, if you go late in the morning towards noon, make sure that you have worn some sunscreen. I hadn’t and as a result I had the traces of my covid mask because I got sunburnt.

    Obvious must-see in the centre showing the history of the ancient meeting place or agora. The museum has a very nice chronological overview that also sheds some light on the history of Athens. It would add value if there would be a depicted path or order of seeing things on the outside grounds.

  • 5/5 Dmytro L. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the must have point on your trip map of Athens! It's worth your time, incredible place interesting both form a historical point of view, and from an aesthetic. We spent here about 2 hours . And also you can take a good picture here, very nice and recommend place!

  • 4/5 Jochen H. 2 years ago on Google
    The Agora is the former central square/market area of ancient Athens. As such it is obviously a treasure trove of archeological sights such as the Stoa of Attalos and the Temple of Hephaistos. However, for such an important place I found the amount of exhibitions a bit disappointing and the explanations could have also been more detailed.

  • 5/5 Iñaki A. 2 years ago on Google
    The best place to visit in Athens after the Acropolis. There's a small open air museum with statues and other pieces. Walking around the site enjoying the view was a pleasant experience.

  • 5/5 Giota T. 2 years ago on Google
    Ancient Agora (marketplace) is one of the must visits in Athens. Even if for the most monuments the only thing that’s left is ruins, it’s quite an experience to be in the same place as once where Socrates Aristotle and others. If you have basic knowledge you can distinct the different eras that have left their mark on this place. The temple of Hephaestus astonishing and the only structure that has been almost intact since 415 BC. Only to think the years that have passed is mesmerising

  • 5/5 herm d. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the other Athens archaeological must see after the Acropolis though in some ways it is more interesting. It doesn't have the dramatic scenic location of the Acropolis. Just the opposite in fact as it is bizarrely bissected by a railway line. But is has a fine temple (unobstructed by scaffolding in April 2022 unlike the Pantheon of the Acropolis), statues and ruins aplenty and a story that is easier to visualise. What's more it has a superb museum in the reconstructed Stoa where you can easily spend a couple of hours. It's a large site with flower strewn paths perfect for a picnic. If you have only time to visit two sites in Athens make it it this and the Acropolis. Entry total is 30€ in summer so get the combined ticket which costs the same price but gets you into 5 other sites for free, two of which are next door.

  • 5/5 Childof T. 2 years ago on Google
    The site was a lot bigger than expected, which was a pleasant suprise. Lots to see and tortoises dotted about. The museum section is worth a visit and has lots of interesting pieces. Really enjoyable walk in the sunshine. Everything is labelled with a marble block and easy to identify. Lots of benches and different paths. You can easily spend a few hours here.

  • 5/5 Jacob S. 1 year ago on Google
    Easily the most evocative site of the classical period. Even more than the Acropolis, being here gives you a sense of what Classical Athens felt like. The museum portion, as well, is one of the best curated collections in Greece. Even though it’s small, it has incredibly unique findings. My favorite place in Athens.

  • 4/5 Val P. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s not as exciting as some spots like Acropolis, given that the structures are mostly gone. However, if you walk up the hill to the Temple of Haphaestus, you get a real view and sense of what ancient Athens may have been like. Nice to walk around and wonder about days of Ancient Greece.

  • 5/5 Chris R. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my highlights of Athens, quite possibly a more interesting experience than the Acropolis (maybe tied?!) Well worth walking from Hadrian's arch around the Acropolis, to the Agora and then closing the loop following the cobbles. The Agora is in a vibrant neighbourhood and you are able to walk through history in relative peace and quiet. An absolute must visit.

  • 5/5 Laura M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place. We arrived for it opening and enjoyed some time at the top when it was relatively quiet (and the walk up was less punishing than it would have been later in the day). The site has a number of water refill taps so you can keep hydrated

  • 4/5 Alan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Large site with many buildings in different states of repair. Besides ruins,there is a museum included in entrance price. Some well sited benches I.e. in shade, made this a very pleasant place to sit and chill with beautiful views. Info boards were in Greek and English, and gave insight into how the ancient societies worked besides normal stuff about dates, discovery. Did not see a loo there, or place to buy drinks but this is right by large flea market with dozens of places to eat, drink, find a loo.

  • 5/5 Garrett K. 1 year ago on Google
    A fantastic little walkabout through some gorgeous ruins and lovely temple. Plenty of shade to walk to while viewing the ruins or listening to a tour. If you have the time, I suggest going to visit.

  • 5/5 WNC Pressure Washing and Roof C. 1 year ago on Google
    Another great and wonderful place to visit when in Athens, Greece. Come on a cool day and have a nice walk. There are places to sit and shade if needed. It took us about 3 hours to walk the grounds and see the museum. Lots of interesting items and artifacts inside.

  • 5/5 Grace T. 10 months ago on Google
    We came here at around 4pm and there was no line to get in, and very little crowding within the actual site. The weather was also cooler, making it a very pleasant experience. We loved all of the markers and plaques with descriptions of what we were looking at. The museum is definitely worth a visit, as well!! Overall, a must-see while visiting Athens.

  • 5/5 j h. 9 months ago on Google
    Real sense of the landscape not changing since ancient times in this Agora. The Temple of Hephaestus is impressive and the Stoa has many great treasures and is a great reconstruction. Great place worth a visit. €30 tickets gets you into this and the Acropolis and 6 other monuments, worth it.

  • 5/5 Abhi T. 9 months ago on Google
    Must visit. Of the seven attractions on combined tickets, only this one and Acropolis as worth visiting. This is literally the birthplace of democracy. Fairly well maintained, museums have great artefacts, good views of Acropolis.

  • 4/5 Nadja 10 months ago on Google
    A fantastic piece of Greek history. There was a very small queue to enter if you hadn’t bought tickets. However if you pre book a ticket you can virtually walk straight in. There was a large museum on site with lots of artefacts and explanations. The site was vast, with lots of statues and buildings to look at. A definite recommendation to visit.

  • 5/5 Keith H. 9 months ago on Google
    An absolute must. There is so much to take in and at such close proximity that the imagination goes wild thinking about what this place must have been like so long ago. The tickets are affordable, and I would suggest buying the multi-day pass as the Agora is close to so many other sites and you can cross them all off within a few days. I’d also suggest checking this out before the Parthenon/Acropolis, as you get a sense of what life was like in Ancient Greece, giving context to why the Acropolis was such an important place to the lives that once lived and worked here. To save a bit of money, avoid the typical guided tour and download the Rick Steves app, which is completely free and offers an amazing audio tour of the Agora. It also allows you to take things in at your own pace, without being rushed by a group. We bought tickets on the day, and maybe had to wait 5 minutes at most.

  • 5/5 QUENTIN M. 1 year ago on Google
    This whole place is amazing. There are different temples, different ruins full of history. It's great to come and see it all. You have to go there during your stay in Athens, otherwise you will miss something beautiful!

  • 5/5 Neil F. 9 months ago on Google
    A must visit place along with the Acropolis. If you have the turbo pass it will be part of the package and you skip the ticket line. Don’t miss the small museum on the main level before you go upstairs in the Agrora. The museum has artifacts that are very well preserved and photography without a flash is permitted. There are a lot of kitchen implements and other artifacts from daily life on display. Just a short walk away on a small hillock is the temple dedicated to Zeus.

  • 5/5 L K. 9 months ago on Google
    Get your tickets advance (if you plan to see multiple sites then there is a combined ticket as well); Very cool to explore most of the Agora. There is a good rendering near the Temple of Hephaestus where it points out on a map based on that vantage point. The actual agora building has an exhibit mostly about the site and its research

  • 5/5 Dotan E. 9 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tomáš �. 9 months ago on Google
    So amazing, like going back in time. IMO better than acropolis, because there’s not as many people te here and it’s equally as beautiful. Also most if not all the sites in Athens are free for students from the EU, which is so great.

  • 5/5 Basilio M. 8 months ago on Google
    Beautiful site. Well maintained. I arrived around 5 PM and not too many people. Great Acropolis views. Nice buildings and museum. I think this place and Acropolis are the indispensable sites to visit in Athens. If you want to avoid the crowds visit late afternoon.

  • 3/5 Joe H. 9 months ago on Google
    A unique piece of history to be sure. It's unfortunate that most of the buildings from ancient Greece are mostly just ruins. It is very interesting to walk through the grounds around these temples to imagine what life was like 2300 years ago...

  • 5/5 Zoya 9 months ago on Google
    I loved this place. There is tons to see here, a lot of really amazing things preserved, and it is very not crowded. Some places we walked, it was just us, nobody around.

  • 5/5 Anand 8 months ago on Google
    Great place to visit to see what the daily life was back then. This can be a difficult place to navigate during high heat. If traveling with family and kids I would recommend going at least to the museum (Stoa of Attalos reconstructed) located on the grounds and the Temple of Hephaistos which is beautifully restored and intact. If traveling alone or as a couple I would recommend doing the whole grounds listening to Rick Steve’s audio tour. I used it and it was helpful.

  • 5/5 גיא �. 8 months ago on Google
    It's a beautiful park right under the acropolis, full of different monuments, statues, temples and a church. It's well maintained, and some of the exhibits are very well preserved. I think the cost is worth it to enter, though you should consider buying the ticket that allows you to also visit the acropolis, temple of zeus and others in the city, so you can save money! There are some parts of the park that arent too accessible to wheel chairs - however, it isn't as steep as some of the other parks and hills in Athens, and easy to walk through.

  • 5/5 ISole 8 months ago on Google
    One of the best museums in Athens. There is so much history to explore! You have a covered part where you can discover all the artefacts from different parts and an open museum where you can see the remaining of houses and most importantly - Agora (though you need to have a lot of imagination to see it well) where Greeks used to gather

  • 4/5 Nima M. 7 months ago on Google
    When seeing the historic places, make sure you don’t waste your time with shops around like I did, although passing through them is inevitable. The good thing with Agora is, that’s a flat one and no need for climbing like doing in Acropolis. As the other places in Athens, being well-informed will help.

  • 5/5 REBECA H. 7 months ago on Google
    It's not crowded like the Akropolis and you can see the beautiful temple, the museum and the statues. You don't need to buy the tickets before visiting, there's no line. If you're under 25y you pay half the ticket. There's lot of restaurants near by and the Monastiraki Square, worth visiting as well.

  • 5/5 El Chaco R. 6 months ago on Google
    After the Acropolis, my favorite of all the ancient historical sites in Athens. The Ancient Agora is a vast site with plenty to see. Take your time to read the incredible history and amazing facts so that you can appreciate what you see that much more. The Temple of Hephaestus, located within the agora, is the best preserved structure, and makes for great pictures. Overall, this was an incredible place to walk around and enjoy!

  • 5/5 Clare M. 5 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    What a wonderful place!! Full of history; lots to see and visit all in one spot. Although another busy tourist attraction, it is well spaced out so you do not feel penned in, in a large crowd. Take time to absorb the surroundings, it is peaceful just sitting amongst he gardens and ruins. Lots of wildlife to enjoy too and if you look close enough you may even catch a glimpse of the tortoises ambling along and parakeets nibbling the fruit above your head. If you visit the acropolis, then I suggest you purchase a combined ticket for around €30 each as it includes entry to this site and many more. Well worth it.

  • 5/5 Kaitlin M. 5 months ago on Google
    This was one of our favorite places to see on our trip. Walking through ancient ruins was breathtaking, and the views of the Acropolis were nice. So much history you could spend all day here.

  • 5/5 Matthew P. 5 months ago on Google
    Well worth a visit, really good value for money at €5 entry. Plenty to see here, including an example of the best preserved temple from the antiquities period.

  • 5/5 Anna T. 4 months ago on Google
    This site has some great monuments and buildings preserved really well so it is worth it to go and visit and learn about ancient history . You don't need a guide here because you can scan the bar code at the entrance and you will have an audio narrator while you are walking around . Tickets cost 5€ for UE citizens after the summer so it is ideal. The museum which is located in the old law school building is stuffed with artefacts from different periods of time and they are beautifully crafted. It is amazing that so many different and unique things survived until today and so many of the artefacts were pieced together in such an excellent way that the eyes of the visitors can admire them now over 3000 years later . I am speechless how talented the craftsmen were back then .

  • 5/5 Kunal C. 3 months ago on Google New
    It's beautiful one of the full places with a complete temple. Alll the archeological places in Greece have winter and summer hours. We just came from there And it is important to know that these places close at 4 in the winter. Some even earlier. So be careful of the time.

  • 5/5 Nahshon 3 months ago on Google New
    The Ancient Agora is known as the birthplace of democracy. As like all agora in the ancient city of Athens where politics, commercial trade, theatre etc. are conducted, this ruins site holds tremendous historical significance. The main highlight of this site would undoubtedly be the Temple of Hephaestus, one of the most well preserved Doric temple. One can also have a clear sight of the Acropolis from here. This archeological site is a definite must-see, and entrance to the site is included in the combo pass.

  • 4/5 Netravati P. 3 months ago on Google New
    Best remaining precious piece of Greek history & art! Up on top of hill to the north of main Acropolis! You can buy tickets of all agora entries together cost you 30€ valid for 5 days! Or but individual entry ticket costs you 5 to 10€ depends on agora!
