North Macedonia Travel Guide

North Macedonia is one of the Balkan Peninsula countries that were formerly part of Yugoslavia. This means that you can experience both Macedonian culture and at the same time feel the atmosphere of a larger and bygone country in the region. Northern Macedonia itself has many sights that are unforgettable.

Most visitors will remember the capital of Skopje with a nice memory of the imposing neoclassicalism that has been built almost everywhere in the city center in recent decades. Bridges, museums and a triumphal arch are part of the modern center, which contrasts the city's old churches and large bazaar neighborhoods.

The cities and towns in the North Macedonian provinces are pleasant places and with a good opportunity for relaxation along the sights that are found here. These include, for example, Tetovo, Kumanovo, Bitola and of course Ohrid, which lies by the lake of the same name.

Lake Ohrid is one of the country's major excursion destinations. Mountains, churches and beautiful towns along the coasts that are shared between North Macedonia and Albania. Similarly, there are beautiful views of lakes and mountains in the Movrovo National Park, which is also home to Mount Korab, the highest in the country.
