Discover Macedonia

To fully enjoy Macedonia, it is recommended to go in spring and autumn, when temperatures are usually between 15 and 25°C. It's the perfect time to explore Lake Ohrid or go hiking in the mountains. The summer months, from June to August, are usually hot, with temperatures that can reach 30°C, ideal if you enjoy outdoor festivals and events.

As for events, the Ohrid Festival and the Traditional Wedding of Galicnik are attractions that showcase the local culture. However, keep in mind that these prominent events can lead to an increase in hotel prices and less availability.

If you prefer tranquility and want to avoid crowds, consider traveling in transition months like May and September. You will find pleasant weather and more affordable prices.

If you are planning to visit Macedonia, it is advisable to start organizing your trip 3 to 5 months in advance. You will be well positioned to find deals on hotels and flights. During that period, there is usually a greater variety of options and prices, and there is less risk of the most attractive accommodations filling up.

A practical tip about Macedonia: generally, direct flights to Skopje are cheaper than those with layovers. Additionally, getting around the country is easier from the capital, as you will find better and more affordable transportation connections than internal flights, which are often more limited and expensive.
