Words can not describe the excitement and joy a Greek feels when he visits this museum. It is one of the most important and memorable places in Hellenic History. The magnitude of the man buried there exceeds the barriers of time and you can feel it even in our days. Truly an honor to have been born in the same place as King Phillip and Alexander the Great 🇬🇷

It's one of the most amazing museums I have ever seen in my life. At the first look it's an unsightly hill that under the earth holds amazing treasures of ancient greek history. The tombs are amazing in their beauty. Gold treasure and jewelry found are exquisite. So if, you will stay in Thessaloniki, you must see it for sure.

The Museum is a true gem! Stepping inside is like traveling back in time, where history and majesty converge in a stunning way. The artefacts are exquisitely preserved, offering a glimpse into the ancient Macedonian kingdom's royal legacy. The star attraction—the tomb of Philip II—is simply breathtaking. The museum’s layout is thoughtful, guiding visitors through centuries of fascinating history. The ambiance is serene and respectful, perfect for such a sacred place. A must-visit for history lovers and anyone wanting to experience ancient Greece in all its glory. Highly recommended!

All this gold and spiritual area is amazing. Awesome decoration, which suits perfect to the Macedonian/Helenic culture and Kings who spread light to the world. Nowadays, we have to face uneducated people who suffer from inferiority complex and need to grab from something, which ends in stealing history. Truth and karma will win and Vergina Sun will burn the fools.

Amazing museum, built underground around the royal tombs. It's cool to be able to see all the gold buried with them and the various grave goods.

WOW! We are very lucky these tombs were never found up until recently, otherwise the wonderful artifacts they contained would have disappeared a long time ago. This museum is a must see if you're visiting Greece.

Museum-location of exceptional value, with incredible and incredibly preserved pieces. A must of archaeology in Greece, much more interesting than the Parthenon (just to mention one).

After a short walk from the parking lot,we entered the Royal tomb area. We were awed by the way it was all displayed,to see the actual tomb of King Philip B' was to me personally unbelievable. It must be seen to be believed.well worth the 15€ entry fee
