Visitors can get to know the history of the place, through a tour of the archaeological site of the Hellenistic City of Florina as well as the city’s museums, the Archaeological and Byzantine which are housed together, the Folklore Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art. The Art Gallery of Florina also operates where one can admire the works of Florinian artists.
A characteristic landscape of the city is the hill of Agios Panteleimonas, which is a favorite starting point for hikers, as it has rich vegetation and enchanting paths through the forest, also offering a wonderful view to those who reach its top. On the hill there are restaurants and refreshments, as well as the archaeological site where visitors can admire the Hellenistic City of Florina, which dates back to the 4th century BC. At the top of the hill is the thirty-meter high Cross which is illuminated at night and gives the observer the feeling that it is floating in the sky.
The natural beauties of Florina are a magnet for visitors. The mountains and the intense vegetation that surrounds it, the river and its neoclassical buildings, give the visitor’s eye an infinite palette of colors, while each season gives a different aspect to the city, which not even the best painter could capture in paintings. The seasons are strongly distinct in Florina, especially winter, as very low temperatures and heavy snowfalls are noted.
