The Royal Tombs of Vergina are the UNESCO-listed burial site of the kings of Macedon - including Tomb II, identified by archaeologist Manolis Andronikos in 1977 as the tomb of Philip II of Macedon (Alexander the Great's father). The undisturbed tomb yielded 36 kg of gold artefacts, the iconic gold larnax with the 16-pointed Vergina Sun, and the only known portrait of Philip II. The Polycentric Museum opened in 2022 above the tombs themselves.

Entry is EUR 12. KTEL Imathias buses run hourly from the Thessaloniki Macedonia terminal (Bus 78 from Aristotelous to the terminal first) to Veroia, then a 20-minute local bus to Vergina - total 2 hours each way, EUR 8 + 1.50. Allow 6-7 hours for the full day trip including travel. Entry includes the Royal Tombs (Tomb II, the Persephone tomb), the Aigai palace ruins, and the museum.

Pro Tip: Take an organised day trip from Thessaloniki (EUR 50-65 with English guide) - the public bus journey via Veroia is doable but logistics-heavy. Skip the lights-off trick at the Persephone tomb and just take time to read the wall texts. The Vergina Royal Tombs cafe is the only food at the site.
