Balkanology :: Explore Southeast EuropeDisclaimer: These pages are not actively maintained, and some of the practical information on the site is out of date. I am working on a new version of the site that will focus more on my photos and memories of travel in Southeast Europe, and less on practical details that too easily become obsolete. In the meantime, please treat the information here with caution.

Travel Guides
Short descriptions of Macedonia appear in three of Lonely Planet's regional guides listed in the Overview section: Europe on a Shoestring, Eastern Europe, and Southeastern Europe.

Macedonia - The Bradt Guide (5th edition published April 2015) - Thammy EvansMany travellers spend only a few days in Macedonia, visiting Ohrid while in transit between other countries; for this purpose any of the above guides should be sufficient. If you would like to explore the country in more depth (which is highly recommended), you will probably be better off with the Bradt Guide. |

Skopje In Your PocketUnfortunately this city guide never made it beyond the first edition published in 2007. If you'd like to take a look anyway, the PDF may still be available for download at the link on the right. |
