The Hadrian's Library was created by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 132, as part of his grand re-building plan for the city. It was located at the north side of the Acropolis at Areos 3, Athens 105 55, and is open daily from 0800-1500. In the past, the library was the largest in Athens, used to store important literary works, legal and administrative documents as well as offer a place to hear lectures and host various philosophical events at school. The Hadrian's Library with its columned facade and high wall are next to the lively Monastiraki Square, visitors will just need around 170 meters 2 minutes walk from Monasteraki metro station. The library was massively damaged in the past, excavation work started in the late 19th century, and an attempt was made to restore parts of its library to its original form.

Day 25 of road trip. Casual city tour and shopping. Went to the Hadrian’s Library site which can be viewed quite clearly from outside without buying tickets 😆. Monastiraki Square is always crowded day and night with lots of shopping streets around it and a flea market. Very touristy area which is great to walk around. Just be careful not to accept anything (flowers or bracelets) if anyone tries to stuff in in your hand.

A night stroll in Athens is magical, blending history with vibrant city life. Start at Hadrian’s Library, lit beautifully at night, and walk to the Roman Agora, where ancient ruins glow under soft lighting. Wander through the Plaka neighborhood, with its charming cobblestone streets, and ascend to the quiet Anafiotika, a Cycladic-style oasis beneath the Acropolis. Finish your journey at the Acropolis and nearby Odeon of Herodes Atticus, both illuminated dramatically. End your evening soaking in the views and ambiance, creating an unforgettable Athens experience. Tips: Wear comfortable shoes, keep a flashlight handy for darker paths, and stop at local cafes for a quick snack. #travel #myitinerary #nightwalk #staycation #thingstodo #athens #greece

#familytrips2024 Address: Κ, Areos 3, Τ, Athina 105 55, Greece Built in AD 132 by Roman emperor Hadrian, the Hadrian's Library was once the largest library in Athens. However, it was severely destroyed in 267 and little remains are left now. The Hadrian's Library is part of the combination ticket together with the Acropolis, and can be visited within 5 days upon purchase. The site is within walking distance from Plaka and the Acropolis.

#Sign up for a hotel tester There are many ancient monuments in Athens, Greece🇬🇷. I did some research before leaving and found that if I want to visit several ancient monuments, including the Acropolis, it is best to buy a package ticket. If you buy it at the Acropolis, you may have to wait in a long queue. You can pre-order online, but some people say there is a chance you can buy fake tickets. So my strategy is to go to this less popular ruins that is closest to the hotel first. There are only a few tourists, and you can buy tickets without queuing. The package is €30, which includes the entrance fees to 7 ancient monuments, so pack well! Hadrian's Library was a library built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 132 AD. The library was once a public square and cultural center, with a collection of papyrus books, works of art, lecture halls and gorgeous gardens. Most of Hadrian's Library has collapsed, and only one side of the high wall is relatively intact. Standing under that wall, it feels very tall. This attraction is very conveniently located, opposite Monastiraki Station 🚉, near the Monastiraki flea market. By the way, it is not difficult to see cats on the streets of Greece, but when I visited Hadrian’s Library, I actually saw a turtle, and it was a pretty big one! 🐢 --------- Hadrian’s Library Κ, Areos 3, Τ, Athina 105 55, Greece #Athens #hadrianslibrary #Athens Monuments #monastiraki #GreekItinerary #Greece #GreekTravel #GreekFreeTravel #followmetoGreece #GreekItinerarySuggestions #GreekItineraryPlan
