- Acropolis - Recognized by UNESCO as a symbol of World Heritage, the Acropolis epitomizes democracy and Greek civilization. It houses four of the most significant masterpieces of classical Greek art: the Parthenon (a former temple dedicated to the goddess Athena), the Propylaea (the grand entrance to the Acropolis), the Erechtheum (an ancient temple dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon), and the Temple of Athena Nike.
- Hellenic Parliament - Witness the ceremonial changing of the guards (evzones) in front of the Greek parliament and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
- Presidential Mansion - The Presidential Mansion, once the Royal Palace until the monarchy was abolished in 1973, is the official residence of the president of the Hellenic Republic. It is one of the finest examples of neoclassical architecture in Athens.
- The Academy of Athens - Marvel at the Academy of Athens, part of the Athenian Trilogy complex. Built between 1859 and 1885, its exquisite design using Pentelic marble makes it a globally renowned monument and a prime example of neoclassical architecture. Statues of Socrates and Plato, two of Greece’s most important philosophers, stand in front of the building.
- Panepistimio - The University of Athens, or Panepistimio, features a grand 45-meter mural inside. At the entrance, five statues honor key figures in Athens’ history: philhellene William Ewart Gladstone, scholar Adamantios Korais, Greece’s first governor Ioannis Kapodistrias, politician and strategist Rigas Feraios, and Gregory the Fifth, the Patriarch of Constantinople.
- National Library of Greece - Admire the National Library of Athens, built in the late 19th century to preserve Greece’s intellectual heritage. The building combines Doric elements with minimalist aesthetics and features a Renaissance-style staircase. Constructed with white Pentelic marble, the same material used for the Parthenon and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the library safeguarded over 2 million books, manuscripts, and periodicals until 2017.
- Zappio - The Zappeion is a grand building near the National Gardens of Athens, used for both official and private events. It is one of the city’s most notable modern landmarks.
- Panathinaiko Stadio - The only stadium in the world made entirely of marble, the Panathenaic Stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.

Athens is a fascinating city in which the glorious past mingles with the bust of modern life. You will admire wonderful architecture of the 19th century in buildings like the Academy, the University, the National Library, the Numismatic Museum, the former royal palace in Syntagma square, now the Parliament of Greece, guarded by the ‘evzones’ standing in front of the monument to the unknown soldier. You will see Roman Athens in the ruins of the temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian’s arch. The gardens of Zappeion Hall and the fine marble stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896, form an attractive part of the city.
