The best time to visit Ohrid is from May to September when weather is warm and perfect for swimming in Lake Ohrid and exploring outdoor attractions. July and August are peak season with the warmest temperatures and most tourists. Spring and early fall offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds and lower prices for accommodation.
The official currency of North Macedonia is the Macedonian Denar (MKD). ATMs are available throughout Ohrid for withdrawing local currency. While some tourist establishments accept euros, it's best to use denars. Credit cards are accepted at most hotels and larger restaurants.
Must-see attractions include the Church of St. Jovan at Kaneo, perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking the lake, Samuel's Fortress offering panoramic views, and the Ancient Theatre dating from Hellenistic times. The Old Town features charming cobblestone streets, and the UNESCO-protected Lake Ohrid itself is perfect for swimming and boat tours.
The official languages of North Macedonia are Macedonian and Albanian. In Ohrid, Macedonian is primarily spoken. English and German are commonly understood in tourist areas, hotels and restaurants, especially among younger people and tourism workers. However, locals outside tourist spots may have limited English.
No, Ohrid is very affordable by Western European standards, making it an excellent budget-friendly destination. Accommodation, food and activities are reasonably priced. A nice restaurant meal costs much less than in most European cities, and even lakefront hotels offer good value.
Popular day trips from Ohrid include Skopje, the capital city featuring unique architecture and vibrant culture, Bitola with its Ottoman-era architecture and ancient ruins, and the Monastery of St. Naum near the Albanian border. Matka Canyon near Skopje and Tetovo with its painted mosque are also excellent options.
Pack swimwear for Lake Ohrid's crystal-clear waters, comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone streets and fortress exploration, sun protection including sunscreen and a hat, and modest clothing for visiting churches and monasteries. Bring a light jacket for cooler evenings and air-conditioned spaces even during summer months.
St. Paul the Apostle Airport (OHD) is located approximately 10 km north of Ohrid with limited international flights from select European cities. Skopje International Airport (SKP), about 170 km away with a three-hour drive, offers more international connections.
