About this venue
Toumba Stadium isn’t just a football ground—it’s a landmark stage for PAOK in Thessaloniki and one of Northern Greece’s most recognizable venues. Its compact, steep stands sit close to the pitch, creating a “right on top of the action” feel, while a capacity of roughly 29,000 seats keeps the atmosphere intense and personal.
Inside, the experience is all about sound and proximity: chants carry quickly under the tiers, the crowd feels unified, and sightlines are strong from most sections. Visitors often appreciate clear zoning and entry flow, plus event-day essentials like food-and-drink points that are easiest to use earlier, before peak arrival time.

About the city
Thessaloniki, a lively metropolis of northern Greece on the shores of the Thermaic Gulf, is not only a cultural hub but also one of the most appealing destinations for sports events and concerts. The city blends Mediterranean ease with big-city energy, so attending an event often becomes the perfect excuse for a short city break. A wide range of arenas and stadiums, paired with a strong nightlife scene, makes it a reliable choice for traveling as a couple, with friends, or with family.
Thessaloniki takes pride in an increasingly convenient transport setup, allowing visitors to reach the main arenas and stadiums with ease, whether you use the Thessaloniki Metro or OASTH buses. If you arrive by plane at Thessaloniki Airport “Makedonia” (SKG) or by train at Thessaloniki Railway Station (New Railway Station), city links toward the center and event venues are practical and straightforward. For those coming by car, major roads and parking zones around the central areas make planning your arrival simpler.
Before or after the event, stroll from Aristotelous Square to the seafront promenade and the city’s landmark, the White Tower, with plenty of cafés overlooking the gulf. History lovers will enjoy the Roman and Byzantine traces in the center, while Ano Poli offers quieter streets and panoramic viewpoints. In the Ladadika district, it’s easy to find a great dinner or a spot for a drink, so the evening naturally continues even after the final applause.
