Transport & Taxis

Transportation in Macedonia is mainly safe. As in any other country, cab drivers could take advantage of an unprepared tourist, scamming him into paying the ride way too much.

Pickpockets

Even though pickpocketing and small thefts are some of the most common crimes you can encounter in Macedonia, they are most common in big cities like Skopje, or other famous tourist destinations in Macedonia and even there they are rare compared to other bigger European capitals.

Mugging

Even though crimes against tourists remain a problem in Macedonia, mugging is not an issue and rarely happens towards tourists, and more commonly as a result of organized crime gangs.

Terrorism

There is a moderate risk of terrorists trying to carry out attacks in North Macedonia, though in the recent past there haven't been any such attacks. Still, you should be aware of your surroundings at all times.

Scams

Scams do happen in Macedonia, but mostly only the typical ones, in the form of overpricing in bars, or by the street vendors. Drink spiking is also an issue in night clubs.

Woman Travelers

Even though Macedonia is as safe as can be for women travelers, they should be aware of the dangers of roaming alone in a strange city. Just like pretty much anywhere, they should avoid walking alone down empty or poorly lit streets, walking past groups of people that behave or look strange or getting into conversations with unknown people that might seem strangely friendly.

International Driving Permit 1968 is required

• The most common religion in North Macedonia is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

  If your baggage is lost, stolen, damaged or delayed it is extremely frustrating. If you must buy new clothes, toiletry products or personal belongings it can be very expensive and time consuming.
