Toumba and Nea Mesimvria participate in “Open House”
Toumba Stadium has been attracting tourists visiting Thessaloniki for years and has participated in Open House. This year, apart from PAOK’s home ground, the important international event that showcases and highlights architecture includes also the training centre of Nea Mesimvria.
For the first time, PAOK friends will be able to visit the renovated installations of the club’s training centre. They will… invade the pitches and the areas where players decompress, recuperate after games and recover from their injuries. PAOK FC Sports Centre will open its gates on Saturday 25 November, from 10:00 until 13:00.
On Sunday 26 November, it’s the turn for the visit to Toumba Stadium. The public will get the rare opportunity to enter the pitch and the rest of the venue’s interior spaces.
Trained volunteers will serve as tour guides. They will register all visitors, record their details and a priority line for security reasons. Afterwards they will lead the visitors in groups to the specific areas of the stadium.
Toumba Stadium will be open to the public on Sunday 26 November from 10.00 until 15.00.
What is Open House
The “Open House” concept was born in London in 1992 and has expanded to many cities around the world, inviting people to explore and understand the value of architecture.
Once every year, for two days, public and private buildings open their gates to the public for free and the city becomes a huge museum, showcasing its architecture.
Thessaloniki has already participated five times in the Open House project.
