Welcome to Athens, where the city is the museum. A museum with countless collections of people, objects, tastes, sounds, and feelings of everyday life. A museum with an abundant diversity of exhibits (and a total lack of display cases), where everything is accessible to the public and eager to be engaged with. A museum that never closes, that constantly shifts, where your favourite exhibitions can be on display for a fleeting moment, or a millennia. A museum that is the city itself.

To help you discover the riches of Athens, we teamed up with Google Hellas and created a series of curated audio tours that take you through our streets, introduce you to our people and talk about our city's history, present and future. Click on the button below to start exploring our collection.

There's no other place more symbolic of how Athenians socialise, than the traditional kafenion. Step into these neighbourhood haunts as a visitor for a coffee, or a ouzo and a meze, and come out as a friend.
