As the Šar Mountains National Park is new, it does not yet have a proper information center. For excursions in the national park, more information can be found on the websites of the hiking trail networks Via Dinarica (trail.viadinarica.com), which covers the entire Dinaric Alps from Slovenia, and High Scardus Trail (highscardus.com), which specializes in routes through the Šar Mountains, between Kosovo and Northern Macedonia.

This information center (Национален Парк Галичица Инфо Центар/Nacionalen Park Galičica Info Centar) is mainly active on the Internet and does not offer hiking guides. On the English version of the website, you'll find poorly detailed route maps (on foot or mountain bike), accommodation solutions or even a presentation of the flora and fauna. The same information can be found on the "National Park Galicica" app available on Google Play.

This is the "Agency for the Promotion and Support of Tourism in the Republic of North Macedonia". Its information office is located in the Gradski Trgovski Centar, along the Vardar, near Macedonia Square. In the absence of a municipal tourist office, this is the place to go for information on visiting the city and the country. But the agency is more concerned with marketing than helping tourists lost in Skopje. It also runs the macedonia-timeless.com website, which is packed with information.

Ohrid doesn't have a municipal or regional tourist office, but here's the nearest thing to one. Founded in 1975, the Biljana association brings together local historians, archaeologists, ethnologists and tourist guides. By appointment, it organizes guided tours of the monuments of the city of Ohrid, most of the villages on Lake Ohrid and Galičica National Park. It also offers advice and contacts for accommodation in the region.

This cultural and tourist information center (Култура 365) was founded in 2011 by Ohrid photographer and publisher Mišo Juzmeski (1966-2021). It houses an exhibition center, the Doolaard Museum and a bookshop featuring books about the region in English and French, among others. The staff are on hand to advise on visits to the main monuments in and around the city. The center sometimes organizes guided tours in English and Dutch (ask for details). The team is also planning to open a full-fledged tourist office in Ohrid.
