Travel Tips

The best times to visit are spring and autumn for mild weather. Pack comfortable walking shoes and layers for temperature changes. Respect local customs, especially in religious sites. Carry some local currency as small vendors may not accept cards. Skopje is generally safe, but keep an eye on belongings in crowded areas. English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, but learning a few Macedonian phrases is appreciated. Use official taxis or ride apps to avoid overcharging.
