    One of the highlights of Aristoteleus Square is its proximity to other significant attractions. The iconic Rotunda, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just a short walk away. Additionally, the vibrant Ladadika district, with its charming cobblestone streets and vibrant nightlife, is easily accessible from the square. You'll find yourself immersed in the cultural tapestry of Thessaloniki without venturing too far from Aristoteleus Square … 👌🏻

    Came to Grecee from 16 Aug to 28 Aug from Singapore. A party of two people total. We mainly did a self drive with a small car to get around from location to location. This is like the main square here and you walk all the way up, it looks really nice the first time but it gets pretty normal afterwards. The whole sqare itself gets quite crowded sometimes esp during dinner time. Its quite an easy street because you can always re-direct yourself once you come across this square. There isnt alot of seating here and I've seen a few public restrooms as well but I cant say if they were clean or not. The floor is made of marble and is quite smooth and nice

    Nice square by the sea, very good coffee bars and restaurants, lots of young people and positive energy. We could spend hours there

    If you are in Thessaloniki, you should definitely stop by Aristotle Square before heading to the Waterfront. It is beautiful both in daylight and at night. You can find benches to get some rest, there are several shops, eateries around.

    Aristotle Square is one of the most beautiful places in Thessaloniki. Basically, it is a little more reminiscent of Venetian architecture than an authentic Greek style of construction, but regardless, the atmosphere is wonderful. A place with a beautiful view of the sea. Spacious, with wonderful cafes and restaurants, where you can take a break, relax with a glass of excellent cold nes frappe, freddo or Greek coffee, with a view of the sea.

    You must make the walk along the bay and see this square. It's like something out of a movie. Surreal. And personally speaking, livedvtge Aristotle's statue.

  • 5/5 andreas spyrou (. 6 months ago on Google • 118 reviews
    One of the nicest square in Greece! The street is surrounded from hotels and shops and in the front you see the amazing color of the sea! Some days (usually weekends) they do some events there for families and every individual! Plenty of cafes and bars within walking distance to have a drink or a bit. Some nice rooftop bars also with some stunning view! (See photo)! A must place to visit in Thessaloniki! Enjoy and cheers

    (Translated by Google) Very nice historic square with impeccable architecture and many shops for coffee and food overlooking either the square or Thermaikos. A reference point for Thessaloniki that is worth visiting. (Original) Πολύ ωραία ιστορική πλατεία με άψογη αρχιτεκτονική και με πολλά καταστήματα για καφέ και φαγητό με θέα είτε την πλατεία είτε το Θερμαϊκό. Σημείο αναφοράς για τη Θεσσαλονίκη που αξίζει κάποιος να το επισκεφτεί.

    Great Outdoor Space Having an Exposure to Luxurious Brands, Wide Waterfront and Well-Established Dining Options

  • 4/5 Phivos M. 9 months ago on Google
    An indispensable part of the city’s heritage. This type of architecture demonstrates how unique this place is. The only downside is that the government should be stricter with vandalism and pay more attention to damages happening throughout the years in an attempt to retain the area intact and beautiful. The square could also comprise mini shops or activities for the visitors, instead of being a large empty square solely used for walking. The area should be treated more as a landmark, than being empty and just surrounded by nice buildings and a bus stop.

    This is the main square of Thessaloniki. It has restaurants around it and in the other side lots of bakeries. It is close to main street with a lot of shops and in the other side you can find the port. Lots of car parking around (not free).

  • 3/5 Pana E. 2 years ago on Google • 71 reviews
    Beautiful city but very dirty and dangerous, full of pick pockets and any kind of criminals. I don’t really recommend it for family holidays because is not an easy and quiet place. Also, for tourists is hard to move by public transports, please avoid taxi because they are charging a lot

  • 5/5 Klara Magic L. 2 years ago on Google
    Aristotelous square is the main city square of Thessaloniki, it is located on Nikos avenue - on the city waterfront in the center. It was designed by French architect Ernest Hebrard in 1918, but built in 1950, buildings around were restored in 2000s. The hotel is amazing! The square is full of life and people, you can refresh yourself in the nearby bars.

  • 5/5 Bisera C. 3 months ago on Google • 44 reviews New
    Thessaloniki, a vibrant city with a rich history and lively atmosphere, captivates visitors with its blend of ancient charm and modern flair. The city's enchanting streets and waterfront offer a feast for the senses, making it a must-visit destination. However, planning a visit during the Christmas period may pose challenges, as finding a parking spot can be a daunting task. Despite this, the spectacular sunset over the cityscape serves as a breathtaking compensation, casting a warm and golden glow that enhances Thessaloniki's allure. Consider timing your visit outside the holiday rush for a more relaxed experience.

  • 5/5 Tabitha M. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice open place. Beautiful ocean site. Shops and restaurants all around. Many of the tourist attractions are within 7-12min walking distance (Agia Sofia Square Church, Ancient Agora/Roman Forum of Thessaloniki, Agios Dimitrios, The Rotunda, Arch Of Galerius, etc). We had a 6hrs stopover, on our flight from Frankfurt to Athens, so we took the opportunity to check out Thessaloniki, the ancient capital of Macedonia! The airport shuttle took around 45minutes (Bey Hamam bus stop). Cost only 2€ pp! Taxis are available too. Everyone speaks English and very helpful and kind. The bus stop (we found) to return to the airport was 1 min from Arch of Galerius. Across from Holy Church of Panagia Dexia. Bus # (O1x). If you are in Thessaloniki must visit this place.

    The square is set alongside the sea and is a good starting point for exploring the sights of the city. Many cafés and shops are located in the square, and the statue of the Aristotle. You can not get out of there without squeezing it tightly for a finger on your left foot - so, they say, you will catch wisdom from the ancient thinker!

    Plenty of shopping and many restaurants to choose from. It's getting festive for the holidays! Visit this place in the center of the city to experience live music being played by locals, enjoy breakfast, lunch, or experience some night life. Very close to the sea side also.

    (Translated by Google) Aristotelous Square is one of the central squares of Thessaloniki. It starts from the semicircular buildings to the north of Mitropoleos Street, which crosses it at this point, and continues to Nikis Avenue, to the sea. The square is a popular spot for tourists and locals, with many refreshments and cafes and is a place of political gatherings and various artistic events. The above imposing buildings on Mitropoleos Street house a hotel and the "Olympion" cinema. (Original) H Πλατεία Αριστοτέλους είναι μία από τις κεντρικές πλατείες της Θεσσαλονίκης. Ξεκινά από τα ημικυκλικά κτίρια στα βόρεια της οδού Μητροπόλεως, η οποία την διασχίζει στο σημείο αυτό, και συνεχίζεται μέχρι την λεωφόρο Νίκης, στην θάλασσα. Η πλατεία αποτελεί ένα δημοφιλές σημείο για τους τουρίστες και τους ντόπιους, με πολλά αναψυκτήρια και καφέ και είναι χώρος πολιτικών συγκεντρώσεων και ποικίλων καλλιτεχνικών εκδηλώσεων. Τα παραπάνω επιβλητικά κτίρια της οδού Μητροπόλεως στεγάζουν ένα ξενοδοχείο και το κινηματοθέατρο "Ολύμπιον".

    Aristotelous Square is the beating heart of Thessaloniki. It is definetely one of the best places in Thessaloniki and along with the White Tower the most famous as well. The heart and spirit of Thessaloniki lives in this great square Lined with shops, restaurants, bars and hotels, it's the perfect place to get a feel for the pace of life in this city. A great place to sit, eat and watch people. Very pleasant, relaxing area. Stretching down to the waterfront, the square opens up to reveal beautiful views of the Thermaikos Gulf. As one of the city's center's only open outdoor spaces, this square is often chosen as the site for large public events, from Christmas markets to political speeches. The cafes have an excellent coffee and in pastries and bakeries, enchanting cakes and bakery products. The atmosphere is wonderful. Also in this square is Aristotle's statue, this statue is a nice hommage to one of the greatest minds of all times.

    The most famous and the most beautiful square in North Greece near by the port and in the heart of the city with plenty of cafes and restaurants and take away places also a lot of benches to sit and enjoy

  • 5/5 Writing R. 2 years ago on Google
    Really busy and buzzing Square full of action. There is a cinema nearby, the lovely beach, shops and restaurants alike, making it a hot-spot for tourists. Thoroughly enjoyed the area, stretching further to other busy spots without noticing the walk. I'd suggest walking around and searching your preferences on Google Maps to find the right food place, though I'd strongly suggest traditional restaurants. Checkout my reviews of restaurants in Thessaloniki. There are loads of things to see and do around.

  • 5/5 Alex P. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing place to walk, meet with friends, listen to music, sit, drink a coffee. You literally can do everything there and it's so beautiful. You even can go to the top roof which you can see all the saloniki and all the beauty combined and marvelous place that everyone should do visit either young or old. I totally suggest you to visit at least one time if you come to the saloniki. Thank you so much for reading my review. I wish you a beautiful stay in Thessaloniki and a lot of luck

  • 3/5 Federico S. 10 months ago on Google
    One of the main squares in Thessaloniki just close to the sea. Nothing special to see here but having a seat and enjoying the fresh wind coming from the sea during the sunset time is really a relaxing way to end up your day.

    The very first step when you enter this square tells you that it is worthy of the name it bears, surrounded by buildings that are placed in a specific way. Crowded with people gives this place a special charm and at times you feel like you are going back in time because the structure of people is diverse. Basically don't miss this place when you come to Thessaloniki..

    Beautiful place to walk through both day and night...although night walks are my preference as the place just seems to come to life. Lots of little shops all over the area, plenty of places serving quality food, and there are public toilets in the middle of the square. They are underground though so keep an eye out for the steps down there. They are (or were when i visited) well kept.
