Best time to visit Skopje

The most popular time to travel to Skopje is definitely the summer season (June – August). During this time, the temperatures can reach 30°C and the rainfall is at its lowest (around 31mm in August). These conditions will mean that a greater volume of tourists will visit. You’d have to book your hotel room and flights well in advance, and be prepared to pay higher accommodation costs and endure crowded attractions. If you’d prefer to skip all that, visit during May (late spring) and September (early autumn). May is the wettest month, with an average rainfall of around 60mm. The temperatures during these months range around the low to mid-20s. Since they sit outside the high season of summer, you’ll have better availability, cheaper hotel costs and the pleasure of enjoying Skopje’s attraction at your own pace.

Visa & Customs

You will need a Tourist Visa to enter Macedonia. Visa processing usually takes a considerable amount of time, so make sure you leave enough time before your departure date. Additionally, your passport needs to be valid for a minimum of six months after your return date, and have two blank pages for entry stamps.

The nearest South African Embassy to Skopje is in Athens, Greece.

Health & Safety

Skopje enjoys a high level of safety; however, it would be wise to exercise caution, especially at night around the old market, which becomes deserted around the evening. As in any destination, begging and pick-pocketing can be a problem, so make sure your valuables are in a secure place and out of sight, and refrain from showing large amounts of money.

Check that you receive all the routine vaccinations four to six weeks before you leave for Skopje. You may need additional vaccines, depending on where you go and what you do in this Macedonian city. Vaccines that you might need in such cases are for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and rabies.
