Directions

Greek Parliament stands on Leof. Vasilisis Amalias, facing Syntagma Square in central Athens.

The Greek Parliament in Athens occupies the former Old Royal Palace, a landmark closely tied to the modern Greek state. Built in the 19th century for King Otto, the neoclassical building later became the seat of the Hellenic Parliament in the 20th century, symbolizing Greece’s transition from monarchy to parliamentary democracy. Its central location on Syntagma Square places it at the heart of national political life and public gatherings. One of its most notable features is the Monument to the Unknown Soldier in front of the building, guarded by the Evzones in traditional uniform. Together, the architecture, ceremonial guard, and civic setting make Greek Parliament an important cultural and historical landmark in Athens.

  • Check the time of the guard change before arriving for a more memorable visit.
  • Carry a bottle of water, especially if walking around central Athens beforehand.
  • Dress respectfully if combining your stop with nearby churches or official buildings.

What to expect

  • Expect a grand neoclassical facade overlooking busy Syntagma Square in central Athens.

During your visit
