No museum checklist
Experience the city like a local, vetted, not googled.
be local connects travellers with Thessaloniki's authentic local experiences, while helping local partners fill their off-peak hours and strengthen their community. We're building a transparent, fair ecosystem that creates value for everyone, not just profit.
Every partner is checked
Only venues we'd recommend ourselves. The stars are their public Google rating, labelled as exactly that, and we check it before a partner goes in. Stop delivering, and you lose your spot after a fair warning.
Curated by locals
No algorithm, no 1,000 Google hits. Real locals pick the best spots.
Savings guarantee
Of course, your savings depend on how you use the pass. The discounts and rebates are always based on the regular list prices, never on an inflated “before” price. We guarantee that all discounts listed here are set in writing and agreed upon as such. All partners have committed to adhering to our guidelines.
