    I love dogs.
    Therefore the sight of the many stray dogs made me so sad again and again. They are everywhere, sreets, parks, in the town, near restaurants. Great and small dogs. Unfortunately, the dogs are also a problem in Macedonia. I already know it of the journey to Bulgaria. I think a little caution is adviced to everyone.

  • Maybe needless to tell the more experienced traveller that you should always have your passport with you...Well, I forgot to take it when we planned an overnight stay at a monastery...The thought that you have to register in such a sacred place never occurred to me! My drivers license unfortunately was not good enough...Result: No room for me!

    So, take your passport, even if you´re planning to stay in a mountain hut or monastery!

    Macedonia's summers are hot and dry. Summer temperatures can reach 40'C, while in winter it can drop as low as - 20'C.
    The best time to enjoy Macedonia is between May and September. The busiest season is from July to August, when Macedonians take their holidays.

    This is a huge dilemma: Telling people not to go to the Zoo will likely reduce turnover and consequently animal welfare...However, this zoo is too depressing to visit...The picture should speak for itself...

    I can understand that there is lack of money...But in that case, better no zoo than this one!

    Hopefully things have improved since this picture was taken (2003).

    You are not required to obtain visa to come to Macedonia, the situation is very much stabilized compared with last year, the people are very friendly and helpful towards tourists,
    You can face problems if you don't have previous informations about certain places.
    For example the Canyon Matka was closed for visitors until the beginnig of May three years ago.

  • Difficult to get a visa. Never go to any muslim neighbourhood because if you do so you will be probably mugged.
    Be aware of any conflict, especially with Albania.

    Since September 2008 you need proof of a valid health insurance when you enter Macedonia, otherwise you will have to buy one at the border. You can ask your insurance company for an international statement.

    I believe that for short term stay this is only about 5 or 6 euros, but for long term stay it may be a lot more expensive.
