Accessibility

The main entrance of the Acropolis Museum is at the Dionysiou Areopagitou Street. Visitors arriving on tour buses enter from the Hatzichristou Street entrance and make their way to the main entrance (on the Dionysiou Areopagitou side of the Museum).

All public areas of the Acropolis Museum are wheelchair accessible. Wheelchairs are available free of charge and are located in the checkroom in the main entrance of the Museum.
