  North Macedonia, formerly known as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), is known for its long and eventful history, stretching back to the Bronze Age. It is known for its strong religious tradition, and there are hundreds of picturesque Orthodox cathedrals and mosques that are each distinctly beautiful. North Macedonia is known as having an underrated food culture, with an emphasis on farm-to-table cuisine and fresh produce. For as small as North Macedonia is compared to its Balkan neighbors, the geography is surprisingly varied here, home to Europe`s two oldest lakes and over 50 mountains higher than 6,000 feet.

• What are the best places to visit in North Macedonia? ›

  The most popular destinations in North Macedonia are the capital, Skopje, and the resort town of Ohrid, situated on the banks of the lake of the same name.

• When is the best time to visit North Macedonia? ›

  The best times to visit North Macedonia are during the shoulder season and the high season. The shoulder season occurs from April to May, when temperatures are cooler but not too cold, and crowds at attractions are of a more manageable size. The high season is when you will see the best weather, but it is also the busiest time of year for tourist sites. The high season begins in June and runs through early September.
