The sacred rock of the Acropolis and the Parthenon have stood majestically on the horizon of the Attic sky for many thousands of years. No matter how many times someone has visited Athens, it is difficult to "get enough" of the view of this great monument of world cultural heritage. Wandering around the Acropolis, from the Propylaea to the temple of Olympian Zeus and from the Hadrian's Gate (symbolic entrance of the city of Athens) to the pedestrian street of Dionysiou Areopagitos until Thissio square, is an experience to remember for life. Moreover, the new Acropolis Museum opened in 2009 and is in itself a "jewel" of modern architecture. It houses more than 4,000 finds of invaluable archaeological value. On the 3rd floor of the museum is the famous Parthenon Hall, where a person can watch a video presentation about this great monument and its sculptural decoration. At the same time, while gazing out of the huge windows of the museum, one can enjoy the view of the Parthenon itself, which stands proudly on the rock of the Acropolis.
