When visiting Athens, museums and ancient sites usually come first. However, there are several very interesting places to visit without spending money, such as parks and various attractions.

Lycabettus Hill is one of the most important attractions in Athens. The view (风景) from Lycabettus Hill is wonderful, reaching down to the sea and the closest islands, which is certainly not to be missed. The parking lot is close to the Lycabettus Theater, where performances are held every summer.

The museum hosts a collection of about 1,200 Greek popular musical instruments which date from the 18th century. The collections are shown in four sections (部分) according to the material of the instruments, and visitors can also listen to the sound made by each type. Visitors can buy books, CDs and musical instruments at the museum shop.

The National Garden of Athens, one of the most beautiful parts of this big city, was designed in 1836 by the German building designer Friedrich von Gaertner. Visitors to the garden can see an interesting variety of plants and trees, some ancient remains and statues of famous writers and scientists. Children can play in the specially designed playground or visit the children’s library, and adults can enjoy a coffee or a light lunch at the coffee shop.

In this small, attractive museum, visitors can see various sides of Greek Costume from the past. Visitors can also see the costumes which were worn in celebrated dance performances in many countries.
