Veria is built at the foot of the mountain Vermio. It has a history of more than 2700 years and many historical monuments are still saved. There are two maintained historical areas, Kiriotissa and the Jewish community (Barbouta). Of particular importance are the 59 Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches with their colourful wall paintings.

One should also visit the Byzantine museum (an old water mill) which has been recently awarded with the Europa Nostra award for its exceptional renovation, the archeological and laographic museums, the Macedonian museum, the exceptional city hall, the Apostle's Paul bema, and if they are lucky they could even attend a musical event in the Veria's Arts center.
