How to recognise North Macedonia from the road
Drives on the right
Mountains, lakes and Orthodox monasteries. The alphabet has a few letters that point straight to it.
What to look for
1
Macedonian Cyrillic
Look for ќ, ѓ and ѕ, letters used only in Macedonian.
2
Latin alongside
Main road signs often repeat place names in Latin letters.
3
Mountains and lakes
The country is landlocked and mountainous, with large lakes such as Ohrid in the south-west.
Try it for real
Placivago can drop you in North Macedonia, or anywhere else across its 195 countries. Three real street-level places a day, no landmarks, no names. Free, and about six minutes.
