Unlike so many cities, Thessaloniki never sleeps. Even during the darkest hours of the night there is always something happening, the lights are always on somewhere and you can always find an open convenience store. It is partly why it is one of the safest cities to explore and roam around at any time of  day or night.

There are so many events in the city that when you arrive you might be sharing Aristotelous Square with a musical concert, an exhibition, gathering or festive seasonal entertainment. Within easy walking distance you can visit the famous Olympion Cinema, whose halls host the lion’s share of the Thessaloniki International Film Festival each November, where you can even meet and talk to the actors and directors as well as see their inspiring films.
