An unexpected bonus for users of the Athens metro are the antiquities that turned up when the metro was being excavated, which are now on display completely free of charge within metro stations in central Athens. The largest collection is at Syntagma station, but you can also see artifacts at the Panepistimio station and part of an ancient Athens drainage system and kilns at Evangelismos.
