In Thessaloniki, urban mobility now runs alongside ancient historyAfter years of delays and complex works, the city’s first metro is finally running — helping reduce congestion, improve air quality and connect people more quickly across the city.Supported by the EU, this major investment shows how EU funding can help deliver modern, reliable public transport where it is needed most.But Thessaloniki’s metro is more than a transport project. During construction, more than 300,000 archaeological artefacts were uncovered, and some stations now also serve as underground exhibition spaces — linking the city’s future to its past.With 13 stations now open on the first line, the metro is already helping make the city more accessible, more sustainable and more attractive for residents, workers and visitors alike.#EUFunds #CohesionPolicy #UrbanMobility #SustainableCities #Thessaloniki #EIB #EUinMyRegion
