The City of Athens free app, Culture is Athens, for mobile phones and tablets, besides the corresponding portal focusing on the cultural activities and events organized by the municipality and its various organizations, is nowavailable to all Athenians and visitors to the city. The new digital tool allows easy and direct access -from a mobile phone or computer screen – to the rich cultural agenda of the municipality in the city centre and the neighbourhoods.
The new app, complementing the website, includes information regarding concerts, festivals, music and theatre performances, screenings, exhibitions and educational programmes for children and adults: In other words, everything that is organized by the City 24-7-365.
“We are taking advantage of the vast experience of our institutions to integrate and promote the city’s cultural fabric. Under the umbrella of Culture is Athens, we are creating for the first time a single app and portal that brings Athenians and visitors closer to the numerous and high-quality cultural activities of the municipality.
