Top Museums in Central Macedonia

Make sure to check out the museum gift shop! They have some unique souvenirs and the prices are pretty reasonable compared to other tourist spots

Wear comfortable shoes! The museum has some stairs and uneven flooring, and you’ll want to be able to walk around without any pain.

Allocate at least two hours for your visit. I rushed through because I thought it was smaller, but I missed so many fascinating details.

arrive by 9 am to beat the crowds and truly appreciate the museum's treasures in peace. trust me, it makes a big difference!

Don’t miss the lower level with the incredible gold artifacts. It was definitely a highlight of my trip and not too many people go there right away.

I suggest starting your visit around 10 AM, just after opening, to avoid crowds. It makes it way easier to enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed or jostled.

I suggest buying your tickets online in advance to skip the queues. It saved me tons of time!

Plan at least two hours to explore; I rushed and ended up missing some incredible exhibits because I underestimated the time needed.

If you're on a budget, check if they have a free entry day. I stumbled upon one, and it was awesome seeing everything without spending a dime.

Definitely check the opening hours before you go! I went on a Sunday and it was closed for some reason. What a bummer!

don't skip the museum shop. i found some unique byzantine-inspired souvenirs that were reasonably priced. it's a great way to remember your visit without breaking the bank.
