North Macedonia

The capital Skopje is a city filled with contrasts. Stroll from the Old Bazaar to the modern city centre. Admire the enormous statue of Alexander the Great and grab a spot at one of the lively outdoor restaurants along the Vardar river in the evening.

North Macedonia has so much more to offer than its capital. A 3-hour drive from Skopje brings you to beautiful Lake Ohrid. Set on the lakeshore, the ancient city of Ohrid boasts a picturesque setting with winding streets and centuries-old churches. Ready to cool off? Go for a refreshing swim in the clear water or enjoy a relaxing boat ride.

Halfway between Skopje and Ohrid, you will drive by Mavrovo National Park. This is the perfect spot to stretch your legs and breathe in the fresh mountain air. Take a walk through the dense forest and admire the lovely views. Fans of winter sports will be excited to know that this area is also a great place to ski. In fact, this is the largest skiing area in North Macedonia. North Macedonia offers a unique experience at any time of the year, whether you like hiking in nature, soaking up culture, or practicing winter sports. The best part? You will find North Macedonia a lot less crowded with tourists than other countries.
