Transit

North Macedonia's transit is bus-based. Skopje has a city bus network (including distinctive double-deckers) but no metro or tram, and service can be erratic. Intercity travel relies on coaches and a limited, slow rail network. Skopje's centre and towns like Ohrid are walkable, and many visitors rent a car for flexibility.
