Walk through Athens’ Roman Agora and Ancient Agora to see how public life was organized around courtyards, stoas, civic buildings, and working spaces. Begin with the Roman Forum of Athens, then follow the sequence toward the Agora Mint and the Stoa of Attalos - Museum of the Ancient Agora. Continue into the Ancient Agora of Athens, pause at the Ancient Athen's Agora Prison, and finish on Areopagus Hill for a broader view over the historic landscape. Move slowly between the museum displays, excavated remains, and hilltop setting so the relationship between the two agoras becomes clear as you go.

How a walk works

The guide starts talking when you arrive.

This page is the map and the itinerary. The app is the guide who walks it with you.

    Every stop is a real place, already in walking order.

  2. Pocket your phone

    Follow the line on the live map, or download the walk before you lose signal.

  3. Listen as you arrive

    On a narrated walk the story starts on its own at each stop, so your eyes stay on the place.
