Discover — Θεσσαλονίκη
Attractions, museums and things to do.
Few cities in the world pack so much history into such a small radius. Thessaloniki is a living open-air museum: the White Tower, the Rotunda and the Arch of Galerius, the Byzantine walls of the Upper Town, and fifteen Palaeochristian and Byzantine monuments inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Alongside the ancient, world-class museums (Archaeological, Byzantine Culture, MOMus) and contemporary art spaces make a city that honours its past while always looking ahead. Here you'll find what's worth seeing, with real information for every sight.
