Getting around North Macedonia: transport and apps

Buses

• The intercity bus network is the transport system. Skopje's main bus station sits under the railway station and serves the whole country.
• Skopje to Ohrid takes about three hours and runs frequently.
• Buses to Pristina, Sofia, Belgrade and Thessaloniki all leave from the same station.

Trains

• The rail network is limited and slow.
• The line to Bitola and the line towards Serbia exist but buses beat them on every measure.

Driving

• The motorway corridors are good, the mountain roads slow.
• A vignette is not used - motorway tolls are paid at booths.
• Winter conditions in the mountains are serious.
