The city of Thessaloniki is a cultural hub of museums, breathtaking sights, restaurants, nightlife and more! Home to thousands of Greek and international students, it’s become a favourite of Interrailers and other travellers who flock here each year to take in some of its fabulous sights, including the White Tower, Ottoman and Byzantine architecture, the beautiful Ano Poli (“Upper Old Town”) and its charming, winding alleyways.

Add to all of this the warm climate and rail links with the rest of Europe and it’s clear why this inviting, hip and cosmopolitan city is so popular!
