One of the oldest of its kind in Greece, built on the site of Piraeus's first conventional train station, it was completed in 1929. Its original interior arch design and exterior architecture have been restored before the 2004 Olympic Games. Since 2005 it also houses the Electric Railway Museum.
Piraeus is the name of two railway stations in Piraeus, Athens, Greece, approximately 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) south-west of the centre of Athens. The southern building is an interchange station between Line 1 and Line 3 and is the present terminus of Athens Metro Line 1, formerly the Athens-Piraeus Railways Co that opened in 1869. The northern building is the railway terminus for standard gauge railway services of the Athens Suburban Railway to the Acharnes Railway Center and Chalcis. Both buildings are located next to the seaport, with the Electric Railways Museum of Piraeus located in the metro station, in the space of the former Post Office.

Completed in 1895, the Municipal Theatre (Greek: Δημοτικό Θέατρο, Dimotiko Theatro) has been a hallmark of Piraeus for over a century. During its extended history it has hosted plays featuring renowned actors and music concerts by great composers (Manos Hatzidakis, Mikis Theodorakis and more), and the Piraeus Municipal Gallery and the Historic Archives. Restoration work was completed in 2013 and the theatre is now dedicated to its original purpose of holding theatrical plays.
Established in 1935 and expanded in 1966, the museum is small, yet holds a number of significant pieces in its collection. These included bronze statues of Apollo and Athena from the Archaic and Classical periods of Greek art, as well as a fine collection of funerary stelae.
