\r\n

The Balkans best-kept secret is slowly starting to appear from the shadows after years of keeping quiet. Honestly, we don\u2019t know why. North Macedonia is as historically important, naturally beautiful and welcoming as its neighbours. To travel to North Macedonia is to walk a path less travelled, and what you’ll find will blow you away.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With historical merit earned by none other than Alexander the Great; North Macedonia\u2019s cities and towns are heavily peppered with Ottoman architecture that can be seen everywhere you go, only to be interspersed by flashes of the country\u2019s brief Byzantine rule.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This irresistible country becomes even more captivating when you step out into nature where national parks like Matka Canyon sit on Skopje, the capital city\u2019s, doorstep with promises to dazzle you with its natural bounty. While in Ohrid, you\u2019ll never lose sight of its lake, one of the oldest in Europe that can be explored further on nature trails that take you around its shore.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Throw some delicious food and friendly locals into the mix, and you have a country that should make its neighbours quiver in their boots!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When to Go to North Macedonia<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

North Macedonia enjoys a Mediterranean climate although it is often humid and dry, you\u2019ll still find four seasons in the country.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The best time for North Macedonia travel is either in spring or autumn when the temperatures are comfortable and there are fewer travellers. The summer can be incredibly hot with temperatures hitting as high as 40 degrees Celcius in some parts of the country so activities are limited in this landlocked country.<\/p>\r\n
