The free application (app) of the Municipality of Athens, Culture is Athens, for mobile phones and tablets, as well as the corresponding portal with all the information on the actions and cultural events organized by the municipality and its agencies. This new digital tool enables everyone to have easy and direct access – from their mobile or computer screen – to the rich cultural program of the municipality that “unfolds” in the center and the neighborhoods of the city.

In the new application, as on the site, concerts, festivals, music, dance and theater performances, screenings, exhibitions, as well as educational programs aimed at young and old are presented: Everything, that is, what is happening in the city, 12 months a year, and bear the “signature” of the municipality.

“We take advantage of the vast experience of our agencies to unify and highlight the cultural fabric of the city. Under the “umbrella” of Culture is Athens, we are creating for the first time an integrated application and a portal, which brings Athenians and visitors closer to the rich and high-quality cultural activities of the municipality. Recognizing the impact of culture on our everyday life and the quality of our lives, we are making a dynamic restart, having at the center of every initiative the support of the people who work in its field”, says the Mayor of Athens in his statement, Kostas Bakoyannis.
