The second is from the 11th Century, the Daphni Monastery.

There are a wide number of museums on the subject of archaeology. The city's National Archaeological Museum, as might be expected, is considered to have the best collection of ancient Greek artefacts in the world. The Acropolis Museum also houses archaeological finds, but all from the archaeological site of the Acropolis. The Cycladic Museum, Byzantine Museum, Numismatic Museum and the Kerameikos Archaeological Museum are others among many. There are many important academic institutions in the subject.

The city has a number of venues for theatre and the arts, but the most ancient is the restored Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the site of the Athens Festival during May to October each year.

Parnitha National Park has many paths to walk in. The National Garden of Athens was built in the 19th century and is an oasis of green in the city centre, but also has some ancient ruins and busts of notable Greek figures. Athens has a bus, metro, tram and rail service to transport people around the city.
