Thessaloniki did not have a superhighway until the 1970s. Thessaloniki is accessed with GR-1/E75 for Athens, GR-4, GR-2, Via Egnatia/E90 and GR-12/E85 for Serres and Sofia. In the 1970s, the superhighway reached Thessaloniki and was the last section of the GR-1 ever to be completed; another short section of the superhighway was also opened. In the 1980s, the 2-lane bypass of Thessaloniki began construction and was finally opened to traffic running from the west side up to the other side of Thessaloniki to its southeast approaching Thermi. In 2001, an overpass closed the bypass for a few days and tore down an overpass for lane expansions. The last superhighway expansion was at Via Egnatia northeast of Thessaloniki. The long promised subway system, for which construction is expected to begin in the next few years, will serve Thessaloniki and its area.

The city is a major railroad hub in the Balkans, with direct connections to Sofia, Skopje, Belgrade, Moscow, Vienna, Budapest, Instabul as well as Athens and other major destinations in Greece.

Air transportation is served by Makedonia Airport. International and Domestic!
