The country is landlocked and located within close proximity to the Balkan Peninsula. Pristina is the largest city in Kosovo; 90 kilometers from Skopje, about 1 hour drive, it is also the country's capital.
It's nigh on impossible to come across a travel section without someone trumpeting Montenegro as the new 'it' destination.
With over 26 centuries of history, Macedonia has a fascinating past. Glittering Lake Ohrid and its historic town have etched out a place for Macedonia on the tourist map, but there is a wealth of natural beauty in this small country.
Closed to outsiders for much of the 20th century, Albania has long been Mediterranean Europe's enigma.
Europe's newest country, Kosovo, fascinating land.
Churches and monasteries in Macedonia are among the country's most precious treasures, where the spiritual and artistic heritage of the Byzantine Orthodox tradition is magnificently preserved. Macedonian churches share the essential characteristics of all Byzantine churches across the Balkans in terms of construction, design and artwork. Also, they have very unique elements; among these are the incredibly detailed and precisely made wood carvings found in many churches, especially in western Macedonia, created by the well-trained masters of the centuries-old Macedonian School of ecclesiastical art.

* Note: Prices are per tour, not per person
Macedonia has two main airports for flying in which are Skopje Airport Alexander the Great and Ohrid Airport Apostol Pavle. With the recent modernization of Macedonian Airports the access to European destinations is as easy as ever. There are around 150 flights in a week from different European cities to Skopje. There are direct flights from three Swedish cities, Malmo, Copenhagen and Stockholm. Out of 275 European airports, Skopje's Alexander the Great Airport won the prize for the 2012 best in Europe, in the category of two million passenger services per year.
Skopje is a very interesting place to visit and many people do not know about the country and the capital—the city is booming with new construction works and many interesting monuments which are hard to understand or learn without an experience guide, so the guide service is the must.
Lence is very professional, speaks fluent English, and tells great jokes. As a local national, Lence is very informative and answered any questions we had. She took her job as guide seriously and was very concerned about our comfort and safety throughout the trip.
I hired her way before arriving in Skopie mostly to drive me to Voden but after I met her in Skopje I knew she was the right person so I hired her for two more days. She has tones of experience in tourism, very familiar with Macedonia and its neighbours countries and willing to compromise and accommodate her clients no matter.
