Solo Female Travel in North Macedonia

Solo travel experience

My stay in Macedonia lasted 5 days, I visited Skopje and Ohrid. I never felt in danger there. I even walked alone in the streets at 3 in the morning and didn't feel threatened. The prices were really good, the food tasty, and the people friendly.

Solo travel experience

I highly recommend Lake Ohrid. I took part in a wine tasting in the mountains, which I also highly recommend. I also really liked Skopje, which is the capital, with charming restaurants and equally charming old town.

Solo travel experience

I loved North Macedonia. I stayed in Ohrid at a hostel in the old town which was charming and one of my favorites. In Ohrid, there are plenty of places to swim as well as a cool church and monasteries to visit. In Skopje, I stayed at the Get Inn Hostel, which was also nice and very cheap. There are plenty of things to do in Skopje, including the Mother Teresa monument, the main square, all the bridges, the Archaeological Museum, and the fortress which is free, the old bazaar and the old railway station.

Solo travel experience

Travel plan: 3 days in Ohrid 3 days in Skopje Safety: I felt very safe. Recommendations: Macedonia is a beautiful country and really an underrated travel destination.

- Skopje (capital) - good hiking trails in the Vodno mountains, which are not far from the center - Visit the old Turkish Bazaar, great small shops and cafes there. - Great places for hiking: Galichnik near Ohrid. I heard that you can ride horses there - Megalithic observatory in Kokino (about 60 km northeast of Skopje) - Monastery of St. Joakim in Kriva Palanka (towards the Bulgarian border) - Ohrid because of its lake and old town full of churches and Samuel's Fortress - Smolarski waterfalls in Strumica in the southeast of the country - Mavrovo National Park in the west - Popova Kuma winery in the city of Demir Kapija in the central region of Macedonia. Other good wineries also in this region.
