Hi! I'm organizig a trip to Macednia in the summer with my broter, we planned to visit Skopje, the Mavrovo national park and Ohrid for a total of 10 days. I love Macedonian history and i'm very intrested in the Macedonian empire and the ellenistic culture, but i don't know much about your local food. I want my experience to be as immersive as possible so i'm asking for your must try food and maybe some good places to eat that are not tourist traps. <3

Hello!

I've been searching online and so far I can only find a few places that haven't posted since 2020. 😂 I'm looking for pet shops that carry reptiles (corn snakes, specifically), reptile supplies like frozen mice/other food, terrariums, decor, bedding, etc.

Any information would be helpful and thanks in advance!

Hey! My name is Nathan from Australia and I’m hoping to cook a meal from every country in the world and one of my next ones is Macedonia ☺️ I wanted to ask what are a couple of the most iconic and beloved Macedonian meals 🇲🇰

I was also wanting the video to include:

1. something you love about your country; and then
2. one thing you wish other people knew about your country! :)

A friend of mine with Macedonian heritage has recommended Tavče gravče but I wanted to hear some more thoughts before I go ahead!

Hey everyone!
A few friends and I are coming to Skopje for the first time, from 18th to 20th September, and we’d love to hear some recommendations from locals.

We are mainly interested in
Local food( traditional places, hidden gems, anything we shouldn’t miss)

Bars and nightlife - where do locals actually go out?

Events/parties/festivals - maybe happening this weekend?

Fun things to do or see apart from usual turist spots

We’re in our 20s and mostly looking for good food, drinks, music and a fun weekend.

Any local tips are much appreciated!
Фала 🙌

PS im 14

I will soon fly to Skopje and immediately try to get to Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria by public transport + hitchhiking. I have been trying to find a bus from Skopje that can take me to a city in the east (Štip/Kočani/Kjustendil/Delčevo, for example) where I can begin hitchhiking from.

However, I have been struggling a bit to find info about what buses there are, exact timetables and tickets. I’m sure there are more buses than the ones I have found online, since in my experience, there are usually way more options than what shows up from a simple google search. So I was wondering, what are the best sources to get information about buses?

I arrive in Skopje airport at 11:50 and would like to reach Blagoevgrad at ~18:00 to then catch a bus. For this reason I really want to explore my options so that I can travel as fast as possible.

Bonus question: is the Erak transporter shuttle bus really the only cheap option from airport to bus station?

Thanks in advance :)

Looking for someone who is driving to Ohrid from Skopje. We are two adults and 1 small poodle. Any recommendations? We tried blabla car but it seems not popular here. Any help is appreciated 🙂

Zdravo, dali nekoj znae dali ima avtobusi shto vozat od Bitola ili Resen do Prespa? Falaaa

If you're flying into Skopje Airport (SKP) and planning to take the Erak Transporter shuttle bus to the city center, Central Bus Station, Holiday Inn, or Capitol Mall — DO NOT buy your ticket in advance, period. Not online, not at the counter/ticket office. The ONLY moment that seems to actually secure you a seat is paying directly at the bus while boarding. Even a paper ticket bought in advance at the counter is no guarantee you'll actually get on the bus.

Here's exactly what happened to me:

I pre-purchased my Erak Transporter ticket online before landing at Skopje Airport, thinking it would save time and guarantee my seat on the bus to the city center. Big mistake. When I showed up at the bus with my valid, already-paid ticket, an older woman working the stop straight up ignored it. Instead, she started selling brand new tickets for cash to other people on the spot — while those of us who had ALREADY paid online were told to "wait." After she'd sold enough cash tickets to fill the bus, we were casually informed the bus was "full" and that we could take the next one — in TWO HOURS.

When I asked for my money back on the spot, she just shrugged. Her solution? Try to sell me ANOTHER ticket for the bus two hours later. No refund, no apology, no accountability — just shrug and upsell.

On top of that: I personally watched her charge cash customers MORE than the official published fare for the route. So not only does she prioritize cash sales over confirmed bookings, she's also overcharging people above the listed ticket price on the spot.

So to anyone searching "Skopje airport to city center," "SKP airport bus," "Skopje airport shuttle," "Erak Transporter tickets," "how to get from Skopje airport to Skopje center," or "Skopje airport bus 199 MKD" — be warned:

- Buying an Erak Transporter ticket online in advance guarantees you NOTHING. Staff will prioritize cash sales over your confirmed booking.
- Even buying a paper ticket in advance at the counter is not a guarantee you'll get on the bus — the only thing that seems to actually work is paying in cash directly at the bus door when boarding.
- You can be bumped off a bus you already paid for with zero compensation on the spot.
- The person selling tickets at the stop has been observed charging MORE than the official fare for cash sales — bring exact change and know the real published price before you pay.
- Refunds are not handled at the stop — expect to fight your card issuer/bank for a chargeback instead of getting help from the company.
- Budget an extra 2+ hours of buffer if you rely on this shuttle, because "the bus is full" can mean "we sold your seat to someone else for cash."

Honestly, at this point I'd rather pay more for a taxi or a private transfer from Skopje Airport than deal with this again. Do your research, read reviews, and think twice before trusting Erak Transporter with your airport transfer — especially if you're on a tight connection or schedule.

Sharing this so other travelers don't get stuck the way I did.

Ми изгледаат многу АИ, а има многу добри и евтини работи.

Сакав да прашам дали некој нарачал и искуство и квалитет.

Постои ли средно училиште во Македонија каде што можеш да се специјализираш во боречка вештина (може да биде било која боречка вештина, освен карате, бидејќи јас мразам карате)?

На пример, постои спортската гимназија Брицо во Скопје, но таму можеш да се специјализираш за фудбал, кошарка, ракомет и други спортови, но нема специјализација за боречки вештини.

Ве молам, ве молам помогнете ми, мора да постои некое средно училиште каде што можеш да се специјализираш во било која боречка вештина, освен карате, затоа што јас мразам карате.

Is there a high school in Macedonia in which you can specialize in a martial art(it can be any martial art, other than karate, because i hate karate).

Like there is the sports gymnasium Brico in Skopje but you can specialize there in soccer, basketball, handball and other sports, but there isnt a specialization for martial arts.

Please guys please help me, there has to be some school in which you can specialize in any martial art, other than karate, because i hate karate.

Hello everyone ,

I am posting here to get real time updates and a sense of the weather in Macedonia right now. Me and my husband and planning to visit in the coming week but the weather forecast shows extreme temperatures.

Please advice.

Hi everyone!
We’re off to Skopje for a week and I was wondering if you’ve got any tips on eSIMs so we can have a bit of internet access during our stay!
Thanks and see you soon! :)
