About This Attraction

Athens Greece

The Parthenon in Athens is a historical monument that stands as a symbol of ancient Greek architecture and civilization. Built in the 5th century BCE, it was dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patroness. Visitors can see its Doric columns and intricate sculptures, which are fine examples of classical Greek art. Located on the Acropolis hill, the Parthenon offers panoramic views of Athens, providing a perfect backdrop for photographs.

For those planning a visit, its important to know that the site is open year-round with varying hours depending on the season. Tickets can be purchased online or at the entrance, and guided tours are available for a more in-depth understanding of its history. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended due to uneven surfaces around the area. For more Parthenon travel information, visitors should check local resources for updates on opening times and other details.
