Skopje Travel Forum

I'd like to visit Skopje from London but flights tend to be expensive - is there anywhere I can fly to instead ie. somewhere that a budget airline flies and then get a train to Skopje from there?

Also what are the options for going to Athens from Skopje by train? Is this safe for a lone woman or two lone women?

Any information would be much appreciated. If anyone can also help me get tickets for a show I plan to go to that would be even better, and feel free to mail me thru the site..

London > Dusseldorf > Thessaloniki? it is ~250 km from Skopje

You can fly to Athens from London - see easyJet web page for this. Especially since you mention visiting Athens on the same trip. Another option is flying into Sofia with, say, Wizzair.

I do not recomand train for lonely lady or ladies, fly to Thessaloniki or Belgrade and than use any of Alamanis or Siamos buses Price 50 Euro return

You have a direct flight from London to Sofia by Wizz air.

yup, the cheapest is with wizzair to sofija and then take a bus to skopje. i have to disagree that is not safe to travel with train through macedonia and greece. maybe you wont find the comfort you are used to but its totaly safe. and boot the show you wanna watch, just email me which one is it so i can give you more info.

I think that Salonica and Sofia are best options at the moment.
Train from Salonica is pretty cheap and you do not have to worry,it is safe absolutely.
If you choose to go through Sofia, there is no railway connection, so you have to take a bus.

Have you looked into going via Budapest with Malev. They have some deal to Budapest and then it should not be too expensive to get the next flight to Skopje.
