Points of interest Northern Macedonia: Tourism & Monuments

Practical information : Sightseeing Northern Macedonia

Timetable

Times vary according to the site. We'll give you the times and prices each time. Please note, however, that museums outside major cities are often closed at weekends. There's no way of booking in advance. But in general, it's not crowded, except sometimes in Ohrid, in the churches and at the Gallery of Icons.

Main events

The "Summer of Ohrid" festival (mid-July to mid-August) is the country's most famous: opera, classical music and more.

Guided tours

The national tourist office(macedonia-timeless.com) has a list of official guide-lecturers. But very few of them speak French. As a general rule, guided tours offered by private agencies are in English, whether in the towns or to discover wine producers or hiking trails. In small museums, guided tours are often offered in local languages.

What's very local

In mosques, you must remove your shoes before entering (as is the case for people of all faiths), and women must cover their heads. Proper dress is often required in churches. In any case, in a place of worship, avoid touching anything or entering with bare arms and legs. It's a question of respect for the locals, who are generally very religious. In some monasteries, the monks are vigilant about dress and may forbid you to enter if they feel you are inappropriately dressed. In such cases, long, unsightly skirts are sometimes available for women (yes, women wearing pants is sacrilege!).
