Maybe you found our North Macedonia travel blog because you are considering a visit to the Balkans, or perhaps you are partway through planning a trip to North Macedonia. Whatever the reason, we hope we can provide some useful resources and travel tips for North Macedonia.
Land-locked and lesser-visited, North Macedonia is a small nation tucked away in southeast Europe surrounded by five countries: Bulgaria, Greece, Albania, Serbia and Kosovo. The country is part of the former Yugoslavia and officially named the Republic of North Macedonia.
North Macedonia’s best-known and most picturesque area is Lake Ohrid, but visitors who travel beyond the lakeshore will find plenty to see and do. The capital, Skopje, gets a wide berth from many travellers but it’s a city we have learned to enjoy. In part due to one of our stays that was due to be a few days but extended to three weeks due to Mark undergoing emergency surgery!
Our North Macedonia blog posts are generally aimed at independent travellers and backpackers like us and have a strong focus on travelling around using public transport, staying in budget accommodation and exploring off-the-beaten-path and lesser-visited places.
