Guided Tours At The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center

Explore the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC)! A creation of the Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW), the SNFCC is a building complex of pioneering architecture that houses the National Library of Greece and the Greek National Opera.

Wander through the indoor and outdoor spaces of the SNFCC, in a guided tour that highlights how the SNFCC's design, construction and operation reflect its vision of creating a public space open to all, without discrimination.

During the tour, you will have the opportunity to visit the iconic Stavros Niarchos Hall*, one of the world's major opera venues; to learn about the new outlook offered by the state-of-the-art facilities of the National Library of Greece; and to enjoy a panoramic view of Athens from the Lighthouse, the highest vantage point at the SNFCC. The tour includes architectural information as well as information about the core pillars of the SNFCC: sustainability, accessibility and education.

At the same time, you will learn about Stavros Niarchos Park, a modern work of landscape architecture that has been designed in accordance with the principles of sustainability, with respect for the ecosystems and seasonal changes of the living environment. The Stavros Niarchos Park is a welcoming open area, with its plants and character reflecting the Mediterranean landscape.

The tour follows a route that includes continuous walking and may include climbing up and down flights of steps. The distance traveled is estimated at 1 km.
