Syntagma Square
Park4.5 · 6 710≈ 22 minFree entry
Athens' central square in front of the parliament, once a royal palace. By the relief wall stands the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where the Evzones in pleated fustanella skirts perform their changing-of-the-guard ceremony every hour. The square takes its name from the 1843 constitution, and it doubles as a transit hub with the airport express bus and metro.
Highlights
- Evzones guard change every hour
- Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
- Parliament in a former royal palace
