Western Balkans
North Macedonia
An ancient lake, mountain churches, and one of the oldest towns in Europe.
[PLACEHOLDER] North Macedonia is built around Lake Ohrid — three million years old, ringed with frescoed churches and lakeside towns that have been lived in continuously for millennia.
What makes North Macedonia distinct
[PLACEHOLDER] Ohrid alone justifies the trip, but the country's mountains and its layered Ottoman and Orthodox heritage keep surprising people.
Best time to visit
May to October. The lake is at its best in early summer.
