Acropolis is one of the 30 places in Europe you must see before you die

Acropolis ranked 3rd, while on the top is Var in France followed by Gaudí's Barcelona in Spain

Newsroom February 21 12:46

The British newspaper Telegraph published its list with the 30 places one must see in Europe before he dies.

And it would be weird if the famous Greek monument was not on the list. Acropolis ranked 3rd, while on the top is Var in France followed by Gaudí’s Barcelona in Spain.

“There’s a good reason some three million people visit the Acropolis in Athens every year. The “sacred rock” dates from the 5th century BC, and the Parthenon, its most famous temple, supported by 46 Doric columns, is considered to be the most influential buildings in classical architecture. Jane Foster, Telegraph Travel’s Athens expert, advises walking below the Acropolis at night , “when it is at its most magnificent, bathed in golden floodlighting.” Telegraph writes about Acropolis.

See the top 10 places included in Telegraph’s bucket list.
