Any kind of information will be much appreciated :)

Thx!

Hello, I intend to travel from Skopje to Pristina and I would like to know if there are buses going there and what time do they leave and from where?

Thank you!

Hello. In March I will be visiting Skopje before making a return journey to Podgorica. Does the bus service run in March? How long does it take and how much is it? I visited before and did the same (one way) journey but got a lift off some other tourists via Nis as they wanted to avoid Kosovo. I assume Kosovo is now fine. But is it possible if no bus to take a hire car?

Hello all! I'm very excited to visit Macedonia soon between 21-25 May 2012. My parents are both from Prilep (they moved to Turkey around 1956) and I plan to spend 2 nights in Skopje and 2 nights in Prilep to discover the places that I was always told about. Would you be able to recommend a nice place to stay in both of these places? Also could you please tell me about the Turkish districts of these two cities? I just want to have a feeling of my parents' life there... Regards, Tarki

Has anyone got any ideas for an easy day trip from Skopje across the border into Kosovo using public transport. Thanks ian

Is their buses or public transport from the airport downtown?

Zdravo, I am attending the Virtual Tourist Euromeet this coming weekend, and due to my flight, I am unable to join the group in Bitola, and so I am coming to Ohrid by bus Saturday morning. This will enable me to explore a little of the city, and so would like some suggestions on how to spend my time, ideally I would like to sample typical Macedonian food and beer near to my hostel in Ognjan Prica (Anton Popov), and see the best of the city's architecture. I recently visited Sarajevo, and from my guide book I can see similarities between this two cities. The following day (Saturday) I plan to travel by bus to Ohrid. Blagodoram Jonathan

I have come across a video about Skopje 2014. Unfortunately I do not speak Macedonian, so I am not too sure what the whole thing is about. The project seems quite ambitious but, what exactly is going on in Skopje? Is the project in progress already? When is it due to be completed? Thanks Eugene

Hi, I am searching for a good bus and/or train-connection from Skopje to Albania. It need not be Tirana, just a small town close to the border would do, maybe that is even more "typical Albania" than Tirana would be. It is mainly to hop over the border to get a first feeling for this country before I would dare to maybe drive there with my motorhome some day !

Please refer me some local apartment renting website in Macedonia ? I have Serbian Dinar, any exchange offices or bank I can exchange from Serbian Dinars to MKD, and the exchange rate if possible ? Thanks.

Hi, I and my husband will be travelling to Komotini an Thessaloniki for 4-5 days and then we would like head our way to Skopje. I have checked Greek Railway website and it seems there are two trains daily to Skopje one at 09:44 and one at 17:04. However I'm not sure whether it is still the same.I tried to contact them to get confirmation over the phone but nobody picked-up the phone. Do you know whether the train still runs from Thessaloniki to Skopje? If it is not the case what are the other means of transportation to Skopje? I have read in one of the posts that it is possible to travel to Florina (in Greece) and cross the border and then go to Bitola. Are there taxis or buses from border to Bitola? How much would it cost? Are there any buses from Bitola to Prizren of Kosovo? If there are we can change our route to prizren and visit Skopje afterwards. I Will be glad if you can provide us updated information. Thanks, Phyllis

I've been looking everywhere for a train from Sofia to Skopje. Any of you know whether it's possible to find?

Hello all As i understand it, the best way to travel between Skopje and Pristina is by bus. Is this correct? The journey isn't that long is it? Also, is it reasonable to visit Ohrid as a day trip or is this pushing it a bit? Is Ohrid itself worth a look or the monastery nearby? Which is preferable? Are there bus tours available from Skopje? Is 2 nights too much in Skopje? Anybody got any tips on the city? I read this morning that there's an Irish pub there but since i'm Irish i'm not too pushed but might have to give it a look to see if it has the 'authentic' Irish feel to it :) Thank everyone DG
