- A traveler on visiting North Macedonia
North Macedonia is a small Balkan nation that punches above its weight with the ancient beauty of Lake Ohrid, a UNESCO World Heritage Site surrounded by medieval churches and monasteries. Skopje's eccentric cityscape features an extraordinary number of statues and neoclassical facades, while the Ottoman-era Old Bazaar is one of the largest and oldest in the Balkans. The country's Matka Canyon, vibrant food markets, and incredibly hospitable culture offer authentic experiences at some of Europe's lowest prices.
