Apparently because of its architectural beauty and the historical significance, this quarter is very popular among tourists and in the weekends many Athenians go there to stroll around, under the Holy Rock. It borders with the picturesque neighbourhood of Plaka from one side and the region of Koukaki on the other. The most famous sightseeing in Athens are within a walking distance from there, which is why many visitors stay in a hotel in Acropolis to be close to the city centre. This quarter is easy to reach by metro (Acropolis Metro Station), bus or tram.
Many museums are found in this neighbourhood, including the famous New Acropolis Museum, the Lalaounis Jewelry Museum and many other smaller museums in the quarter of Plaka. Neoclassical buildings line the pedestrian street, which host today institutions, galleries or embassies. Many taverns, cafeterias and gift shops can also be found, making it a popular tourist spot.
