Introducing Ohrid

Nestled on the shores of Lake Ohrid in Northern Macedonia, Ohrid is a gem of the Balkans. The city doesn’t fall short when it comes to history, heritage and tradition. From the medieval Samuel’s Fortress and the city’s collection of churches to the hundred-year-old tradition of pearl making – the list goes on. Beyond its historical allure, Ohrid also boasts an impressive range of outdoor activities from lake cruises to hiking trails, and it’s no surprise the city is a declared UNESCO Cultural and Natural World Heritage Site. When it comes to food, you're in for a treat with local Macedonian cuisine featuring fresh fish from the lake, hearty stews, and delectable pastries.

1. Explore the Old Town and its historical monuments

Ohrid’s Old Town is made up of winding streets with churches, quirky houses, historical landmarks and more. A vibrant part of town is the Old Bazaar where you browse craft shops and find Ohrid pearls. Make your way up to the open-air Hellenistic amphitheatre for some top-class views of the city and lake – keep an eye out for summer performances too.

2. See the iconic Church of Saint John at Kaneo

Positioned on a cliff above Lake Ohrid, this 13th-century church is one of Macedonia’s most photographed spots. It combines Byzantine and Armenian architectural styles and its location provides jaw-dropping views over the lake and surrounding mountains. Head up to Samuel’s Fortress for the best views – and it’s particularly special at sunset.

3. Spend some time around Lake Ohrid

No trip to Ohrid would be complete without exploring its magnificent lake. Choose from different boardwalks for a leisurely stroll along the water's edge – some paths are right on the lake – and sit at one of the benches to take it in. There are also boat rides available to find tranquil beaches and appreciate the beauty of these waters.
