Activity Overview

Constitution Square (Syntagma Square), known in Greek as Plateia Syntagmatos, is the central square of Athens and one of the city’s most important landmarks. Located in front of the Hellenic Parliament, the square takes its name from the Constitution granted by King Otto following the 3 September 1843 uprising, an important event in modern Greek history.

Syntagma Square is surrounded by major hotels, shops, cafés and important public buildings, making it a lively meeting point in the heart of Athens. It also serves as a major transport hub and provides convenient access to many of the city’s historic attractions.

The square is particularly famous for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the ceremonial changing of the Evzones, which takes place in front of the Parliament. Its combination of history, civic importance and vibrant city life makes Constitution Square an essential stop on an Athens sightseeing tour.
