About To Skopje

Buses run daily between Belgrade and Skopje in around six to seven hours, depending on the border, and short flights are also available. International passenger trains on the line have been suspended since 2020. Skopje, where a 15th-century stone bridge leads into one of the great old bazaars of the Balkans, is half an hour from Matka Canyon and three hours from Lake Ohrid. Our sister guide, the ULTIMATE Skopje City Guide, covers the city and North Macedonia’s highlights.
