The Zappeion Exhibition Hall is one of the most important venues for conferences, exhibitions, and special events in Europe. Located in the historic centre of Athens, walking distance from the Acropolis and the marble Panathinaic Stadium of the 1896 Olympic Games, the Zappeion Exhibition Hall is surrounded by over 200,000 square meters of gardens with meandering paths, fountains and over 70 neoclassical sculptures.
In 1888 the Zappeion Exhibition Hall was one of the first buildings in Europe specifically designed for exhibitions and conferences. An extensive interior and exterior renovation, completed in 2006, restored the building to its original splendour while, at the same time, state of the art technology was introduced to the listed building.
The Zappeion Exhibition Hall has served as the headquarters for the Greek EU Presidency, the Press Centre for the Ministry of the Press during the 2004 Olympic Games and is now the home of Greece’s twice annual Fashion Week. The Zappeion Exhibition Hall is the pre-eminent venue for domestic and international events in Athens, Greece.
