What to do in Macedonia

Macedonia is a landlocked country in the Balkans with spiritual sunsets waiting for you. It’s heaven for adventurers with mountains, walking trails, and gorgeous regions everywhere. So if you want to discover more of Europe’s wonders, Macedonia is the answer.

Fly to Skopje so you can travel to the gateway of the rest of Macedonia. You’ll instantly see the glorious history of the country when you visit historic landmarks like the statue of Alexander the Great, the Kale Fortress, Stone Bridge, the Parliament Building, and Porta Macedonia at night. They’re quite the sight, so don’t forget to bring your camera too.

Get to know Macedonia’s capital even better with a museum tour. Take your pick of the Archaeological Museum of Macedonia, Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of the Macedonian Struggle, the Natural Science Museum, and the Macedonian National Museum & Icon Gallery.

Looking for more outdoor adventures? This European gem won’t disappoint! Explore the breathtaking views of Ohrid Lake, Prespa Lake, and Dojran Lake. They’re a must for anyone visiting Macedonia.

Take a trip to the Pellister Mountains, Shar Palina, and the rolling hills of the East. Explore Matka Canyon next for a picnic or a swim by the river. And for the best views of Skopje, you have to climb Vodno Mountain.

Another great way for you to discover culture in Macedonia is by shopping, especially the bazaars of Skopje, Tetovo, Ohrid and Bitola. And if your trip is around the end of November to December, you can be part of the grand Taksirat Festival too!

When to visit Macedonia

The best time to visit Macedonia is from April to November.
