Athens has a rich and incredible historical legacy; it is probably one of the most culturally significant cities in the world. Walking through its streets, squares, and monumental spaces is a unique and indescribable experience.

This Free Tour of the must-see places in the Greek capital will start at the impressive Old National Library, part of the iconic "Neoclassical Triad" along with the Kapodistrian University and the Academy of Athens. After that, you will visit the Parliament, where you will be surprised by the peculiarities of its presidential guard, the Evzones. Just a short distance away, you will find the vibrant Syntagma Square, the epicenter of social and commercial life, as well as the peaceful National Garden of Athens, a green oasis that houses hundreds of species of plants.

You will learn about the relationship between the Olympic Games and the city while visiting the Zappeion or Kallimarmaro. Later, you will be able to admire the impressive Temple of Zeus, one of the largest in the ancient world.

Finally, the Free Tour will pass through the picturesque neighborhood of Plaka, the ancient Roman Agora, the Tower of the Winds, and the Library of Hadrian. The last point to visit will be Monastiraki Square, a magnificent example that summarizes the different periods of Athens' history.
