Ohrid is beautiful, great for a 2 day stay. There are pay-as-you-wish day tours available to bring you around the Church of Saint John, the Ancient Macedonian theatre, Ohrid boardwalk etc. I also enjoyed the boat tour to St Naums, incredibly pretty. It’s a very small town though, so 2 days is more than enough. It is much more affordable than Western Europe, I paid around €7 for Old Town Hostel Ohrid and I ended up meeting some of the best people there! However, I am ethnically Chinese so I experienced 5 instances of racism in 3 days - eg. the local children would yell Ching Chong at me and other slurs while I was simply walking on the street. Sometimes I was followed by Romany children asking for money. Didn’t feel the safest here overall
Posted: March 22, 2024I traveled alone to Ohrid and it was one of the best trips I have ever taken! I felt completely safe both at night and during the day, and people are incredibly friendly. As a solo female, I didn't face any inappropriate comments or strange looks.

Hi girls 👑 My name is Ivona, I am 24 years old, now living in Struga, Macedonia. I never had the courage to travel alone, but recently I was in Malta , visiting a friend and I met some girls who traveled alone and saw the beauty in it . Now I'm open to travelling everywhere as long as my free days at work allow it. Also I want to show Macedonia to you girls, because it is amazing and so underrated. And happy holidays to you all 😊
