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.

My passion is travelling, meeting new friends and cultures and expanding horizons I am a person who since very young have been travelling and i am looking forward to always having new experiences I can adapt myself at every place that i go and I make friends easily..I like to talk, listen what other people have to say about their own lives, that is how we learn more about life... I like parties and hang out in caffe but also there are days where i want to be at a peaceful places.

Hi there! I’m backpacking some of the Balkan countries April 4 to 20. Looking to connect with anyone with similar travel plans. Starting in Split, Croatia and moving through Trogir, Hvar, Makaraska, Mostar, Sarajevo, Dubrovnik, Herceg Novi, Tivat, Kotor, Budva, Tirana, Ohrid, Skopje, Canyon Matka. Probably won’t get a chance to do it all before I have to leave around April 19/20, but if anyone has similar plans or recos, feel free to connect! Super flexible with plans and activities. I typically like more local experiences than the tourist experience. I’ll mostly be busing and staying at hostels. #backpackerlife 🎒
