This is truly a magical place. Plan to take time to walk around the grounds. There are a number of benches along the trails. As you walk up the hill to the Temple of Hephaestus you will be treated to a wonderful view of the Acropolis. The museum is one of the best in Greece. One suggestion - prior to your visit - walk up to the Areopagus Hill - as you walk around the hill - you will have a aerial view of the agora. It really helps you get oriented to the site which is very large.

When I visit Athens I didn't thought about Agora, but after I visit Agora only I realised the ancient value of this place. Acropolis ticket is valued to enter Agora. Actually Agora is a meeting place of the ancient people. Philosophers Aristotle, Socrates, Plato visited this place. Lots of ruins with historical value everywhere, like Delphi ruins this area also very much interesting. This place is a must visit for every visitor!

It's near the Acropolis so worth an extra couple of hours if you have time. If you're interested in historical Greece, then it's a must see.

We view this from the top of the Acropolis. We could see the entire Agora. There was several ruins and a stadium. Liked being able to see it all from the top of the hill.

Somehow we made hard work of finding the Agora. We kept seeing tantalising glimpses of the Temple of Hephaestus from various vantage points around the city. We even managed to walk along a lane separating two different sections of the Agora but with no access to the main part!! However, eventually we found the main entrance off of Adrainou - easy really! We were entranced by the place. It is easy to spend a couple of hours wandering around this atmospheric area and it ended up being one of our favourite places.

At the bottom of the hill near to Montersaki square, it used to be the market place well over 2000 years ago, make sure you check the opening times as like most of the other Acropolis linked attractions it closes early in winter time. Great to wander and imagine what the hustle and bustle of a place like this would have been all them years ago.

...if you have anything from an hour or three to spare, to explore the grounds and the monuments. Always check opening times and have a guide or map. I started by spending time at the stoa (covered walkway or portico) in the Agora which has been fully restored (by the Rockerfellers in the 50's) and an excellent museum inside - the Museum of the Ancient Agora. Its exhibits tell you so much about the Athenian democratic system.
-
There is so much history and culture. We went twice. First on our own; then took another couple a day later. The Agora demonstrates the origin of the ancient (and much of modern) greek culture. You will want to listen to an audio tour guide on line, which we listened to after the visits. The ancient folks seemed to virtually lived there. The debates, philosophers, law, political decisions, courts, worship, trades, schools, etc. The Agora = The Marketplace.

It is vibrating with energy that is vivid and and at the same time calm.It's better early in the morning.

we paid 36 euro to see it and other sites. we were 3 adults and 2 kids. we had straller with us.there are routes we were following. routes are all coverd with small stones, obviously NOT ancient and NOT from Agora or Acropolis. my 1.5 yo kid was taking these small stones to hold in his tiny hand. A guard (she is not. a watcher) lady did a 100 meter race screaming loud DO NOT TOUCH THE STONES, and while we were shocked with this disaster coming closer to us, she ripped the small little rock from my baby's hand, threw (! threw!!! i am sure the tiny rock has cracked into pieces after that) the stone away, made a happy face and started pacing back to her workplace on a chair.damn, thats a baby! nobody can touch him! nobody can scream at him!we came to the throne where she was sitting like Cleopatra (sorry Greece I am mad at you now, and i will spend my money elsewhere, so no Greek heros in my passage, Egiptian they are) and we asked what was that. she said it is a museum and nobody can touch the stones. i asked why, as i obviously touch it with my feet when i make every step on this holy land. and my weights of 75 kilos does more damage than my kid's hand holding one small stone taken not from column of historic heritage but from under our feet. she repeated that this is museum and nobody can touch the stones. okay. i asked who can touch my kids then with no permission, or thats the rules of the museum, we do not touch stones and we touch someome else's kids. she said she just took the stone off his hand. alright, we said, if that was ancient stone why on earth she threw it that far and powerful so it did obviously got ruined. she said this is museum and i understood it is some kind of a game i do not want to play next.next part is my favorite. she had a badge with her name - maybe to remember it herself but i think thats needed to me, to the visitor, who pays the money and needs to know who he talks to. i came step closer saying i want to know her name. she did magically fast action, covering the badge with her hand and saying she wont name herself. wow. was that really Greece, and was that really site to visit with my kids? from few letters i saw on a badge she was whether Margarita or Matilda or i dont know. we had options of calling police or talking to her management. but management was few miles uphill, and we already were tired. police - we would have spent hours on them.its not about Agora itself its about people who work there, get paid there and who also whine about tourism in Greece going down due to crisis or ruble drop.simple things can turn the historic place into tourism gem but please please please do not start with someone else, start with own staff coachingAgora place is fantastic indeed.
