Hiking

In the evenings, both the square and the buildings of the National Bank are beautifully lit. On the way from Omonia direction Monastiraki you almost automatically pass it. However, it is advisable to be more vigilant in the evenings.

Hiking

Kotzia Square retains several features of 19th-century neoclassical architecture, including the Athens City Hall, and was built in 1874 and was formerly known as Loudovikou Square. During the 2004 Summer Olympics, it served as the start and finish location of the race track in the historic center of Athens for the men's and women's road races, as well as various artistic events.
