Macedonia Holidays & Tours
Macedonia holidays open up a quiet Balkan corner where Ottoman bazaars, mountain monasteries and Europe’s oldest lake remain free of mass tourism. It’s a country happy to surprise you.
North Macedonia sits where the Balkans meet the Mediterranean, a small enclave that has soaked up Greek, Roman, Slavic and Ottoman influences without ever being defined by any one of them. The result is a country of quiet contrasts: the lakeside frescoed churches of Ohrid (a UNESCO town beside what is thought to be the oldest lake in Europe), the colour and clatter of Skopje’s old oriental bazaar (the largest still standing on the continent), and upland villages where life moves at the pace of the seasons rather than the tour bus.
Many travellers fold their north Macedonia holidays into a wider Balkan loop, and our most popular package holidays to Macedonia run as part of a route through guided Albania tours and Kosovo. Together these three nations form one of Europe’s most rewarding off-the-radar journeys: heavy with history, light on tourists, and remarkably warm in their welcome.
Explore our Macedonia Tours
Our Macedonia tours are designed for travellers who would rather explore a country still largely overlooked than follow the usual tourist trail. You will travel in a group of no more than twelve, accompanied throughout by an experienced English-speaking tour leader who knows the backstreets of Skopje as well as the tranquil shores of Lake Ohrid. With Undiscovered Destinations, the emphasis is always on genuine local encounters, meaningful cultural connections, and journeys that feel truly authentic rather than manufactured.

A wonderful opportunity to explore and experience a string of Caribbean islands. Although the pace of the trip was fast, we still managed to see behind the glitz and glamour of the holiday industry and get to grips with local history and culture.

Simply amazing!
Some inspiration from our blog
British, EU, US, Canadian, Australian and most other Western passport holders do not currently need a visa for short tourist stays in North Macedonia, with entry typically granted on arrival. As entry rules can change, we recommend confirming the latest requirements with the official Macedonian consulate before you travel, particularly if you hold a passport from a country not listed.
