Lonely Planet says about Macedonia: "If you want to get off the beaten track in Europe - this is the place."

It is a rich culture dating back to prehistoric times. The Lake Ohrid region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and natural beauty abounds with friendly, welcoming residents.

Macedonia is a small landlocked country in southeastern Europe at the center of the Balkan Peninsula. It is bordered by Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Kosovo.

Skopje, the capital, is watched over by the ancient Kale Fortress, containing remains of Neolithic settlements. See a current map on our website.

They speak Macedonian (makedonski), part of the Eastern group of South Slavic languages; it is a Balkan language.

They use the Cyrillic alphabet.

We promote Macedonia as a travel destination for deeper cultural connection.

Our mission is to take you where ancient paths meet modern travelers so adventurous travelers can see the country with their own eyes.

Croatia Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Swissair, Turkish Airlines, and Air Serbia are just a few of the airlines serving Skopje (SKP) via major European cities such as Belgrade, Vienna, Zagreb, Zurich, and Istanbul.

Their currency is the Macedonian denar (MKD). As Macedonia is not an EU member country (not part of the eurozone), they do not use the euro.

My Macedonian blood comes from my maternal grandparents, immigrants who came to America in the early 20th century.

I want to educate travelers and share the rich cultural traditions and lively sights and sounds of this lesser-visited destination.

We use ‘Macedonia’ in honor of the country’s rich cultural identity. Officially, the country is known as ‘North Macedonia’ following the Prespa Agreement with Greece.
