Metaxourgeio is a neighborhood in the northwestern part of central Athens.
Unique features: In recent years, several areas of the neighborhood have been upgraded as part of the wider redevelopment of Metaxourgeio. A distinctive feature of the area is its magnificent neoclassical buildings, as well as the picturesque pedestrian streets hidden in its alleys, which reflect its rich history. The area is gaining a reputation as an artistic and modern neighborhood due to the galleries, museums, and contemporary restaurants and cafés that have opened in recent years. The heart of the neighborhood is Avdi Square, which attracts residents and visitors who enjoy its greenery. The square occasionally hosts festivals, while restaurants, theaters, and art galleries surround it.
Accessibility: Metaxourgeio occupies the area bounded by Konstantinoupoleos and Deligianni Avenues and Deligiorgi, Agiou Konstantinou, Panagi Tsaldari (Piraeus), and Salaminos Streets. It borders Gazi, Kerameikos, the wider Omonia Square area, Plato’s Academy, and Kolonos.
It is crossed by the underground railway network of the Hellenic Railways Organization (OSE). Athens Metro Line 2, also known as the Metaxourgeio line, passes through the neighborhood.
