Part of a world-class cultural hub
Megaron Athens International Conference Centre (MAICC) is an integral part of Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall – one of the world’s best-organised and most contemporary hubs of cultural activity, founded in 1991. It is a large-scale, multifunctional arts centre with an international reputation for excellent quality. The programme of Megaron consists of classical music and opera, contemporary compositions, world music, music by younger composers, dance, theatre, cinema, visual arts and, of course, Greek music. Conceived as a multifunctional cultural melting pot, Megaron is fully equipped to accommodate concerts and other musical events as well as conferences. The centre has a wide variety of halls, whose characteristics and facilities meet the high standards and requirements of the world’s greatest orchestras and musical ensembles.
Gardens, galleries and debates
A garden area of six acres was introduced to the public, becoming a meeting spot for amusement and cultural outdoor events since its opening. At the same time, Megaron Plus, the multi-thematic dialogue and reflection programme, hosts evening lectures where personalities from different fields present and debate topics of wide interest. Megaron is a creative centre of cultural activity, learning opportunities, and social development; it is open to all and embraces diversity.
Iconic halls with global prestige
The Christos Lambrakis Hall is ideal for large-scale events. Its unique construction and ultra-modern technical facilities make it the perfect location for orchestral music, chamber music and ballet, as well as opera and theatre productions. The Christos Lambrakis Hall houses the largest organ in the country, built by Klais Orgelbau with a total of 6,080 pipes.
The Dimitris Mitropoulos Hall has outstanding state-of-the-art technical facilities, making it ideal for chamber music ensembles, recitals, dance productions and other cultural events, as well as for conferences.
The Alexandra Trianti Hall, added to the Megaron complex in 2004, provides ideal conditions for opera, ballet and other musical events. The richly decorated ground floor and hall foyers can also be used for large-scale exhibitions, either as part of the Megaron programme or as independent events. The two foyers also provide an ideal space for youth activities.
Complete the experience
A three-level underground parking facility and Fuga, the Megaron fine dining restaurant, complete the Megaron experience. Major luxury hotels are in close proximity, many within walking distance, and the Centre is close to major museums and fine shopping and dining areas. The Athens metro system has a station next to the Centre and is 35 minutes away on a direct line to the Athens International Airport. Megaron is also complimented by a 750-space car park and a plethora of taxis, trams and buses right outside the Centre.
