Bonus Tips:
Be careful: very often can be found and some other taxi drivers over there which are not official taxi drivers. Always talk first about the price before entering in the car.
Currency Exchange: Consider exchanging some Euros for Macedonian denars at the airport before venturing out. You’ll avoid searching for ATMs later in the city or exchange office.
Language Barrier: Basic English is widely spoken, but learning a few Macedonian phrases like “Zdravo” (hello) and “Blagodaram” (thank you) goes a long way.
