Begin your tour of North Macedonia by leaving Tirana early in the morning and heading north toward the country’s capital, Skopje. Along the way, notice the striking contrasts between regions and cities, from quiet countryside to remnants of the communist era, including old industrial complexes, bunkers, and historic slogans that tell stories of the past.

Stop at the serene Bigorski Monastery of St. John the Baptist, an architectural gem surrounded by the lush landscapes of Mavrovo National Park. Here, centuries of spiritual devotion are reflected in intricate wood carvings, frescoes, and the peaceful rhythm of monastic life.

Continue the journey to Tetovo, where you visit two unique sites: the tranquil Arabati Baba Tekke and the vividly adorned Painted Mosque. Both monuments reveal the harmonious coexistence of faiths and the rich cultural heritage of the region.

In the late afternoon, reach Skopje, the dynamic capital of North Macedonia. Begin your walking tour at the Vardar River, where its iconic bridges connect the city’s historical and modern faces. Next, explore the bustling Old Bazaar and the historic Kurshumli Han, followed by visits to the sacred St. Spas Church and the Mustafa Pasha Mosque.

In Ohrid, explore one of the oldest human settlements in Europe, a town where history, culture, and nature intertwine beautifully. Visit its ancient churches, walk along its charming stone streets, and admire the shimmering waters of Lake Ohrid. Each corner of the town tells a story, from Byzantine frescoes to Ottoman architecture, leaving a lasting impression of the region’s rich past.
