Syntagma Square

The square is named after the constitution of Otto, the first king of Greece. The square is the most important square in modern Athens and the center of business activity and Greek politics. Go to Constitution Square to see the military exchange ceremony held every hour in front of the unnamed martyr's tomb between Constitution Square and Parliament House. 🚉M2 and M3 lines Syntagmatos stations

Syntagma square is one of the most famous squares in Athens. It is located directly in front of the lovely old Royal Palace that houses the Greek Parliament. It is a must see when you visit Athens. A good suggestion is to visit early in the morning. I went there in August which is high season, but if you visit around 7 am there are less people around and you can have the palace guards almost to yourself for taking photos. Don't forget to check out the famous hotel Grande Bretagne which is just off to the side of Syntagma square. Additionally, a lot of hop on hop off sightseeing busses stop in front of the square.

We were there at 2 am so we got nice photo of changing of the guard.

Besides being an important historical area, you may catch the cajnging of guard every hour

To travel to Athens, you must go to the Constitution Square to watch the changing ceremony of the guards. The guards wearing traditional white military uniforms enter the square to change shifts with unique footwork in the solemn military music. It is worth seeing.

A lifetime of people have to go to Greece once, on the way through Athens, you can buried this square, the weather is good, the shadow is really first-class
