Location
Syntagma metro station Location within Athens

The Syntagma station of Athens Metro is located at Syntagma Square in the centre of Athens, Greece. It serves as the transfer point between Line 3 and Line 2. It also serves as a connection point (albeit at street level) to the Athens Tram. When the Metro first opened, on January 28, 2000, the station was the terminal station for both the new lines. It is a transportation hub for O.SY. buses and the northern terminal for the Tram. It is the busiest station in the Athens transport system, located underneath Syntagma Square, the busiest in Athens. It serves Ermou Street, a pedestrian street full of commercial activity and one of the priciest shopping areas in Europe. The station serves the Houses of Parliament and various government agencies, foreign embassies and the National Garden.

Several of the architecture works were erected by Thodoros Papadimitriou, a famous sculptor and the station also includes a large archeological exhibition.
