Ohrid UNESCO Heritage: Full-Day Guided Tour from Skopje｜North Macedonia

Discover the charm of Ohrid on a full-day group tour departing from Skopje. This experience combines a guided walking tour with visits to some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the oldest lake in Europe (yes that's right!), Lake Ohrid, the Ancient Theatre, Samoil’s Fortress, and the Church of St. John at Kaneo.

Your day begins with pickup in Skopje, followed by a scenic drive to Ohrid. After arriving, you’ll explore the city on foot, taking in its rich history and beautiful surroundings. Walk along the shores of Lake Ohrid and wander through the old town, a UNESCO-listed area known for its cultural and historical significance.

As part of the tour, you’ll visit the Ohrid Ancient Theatre, one of the oldest in the region, before heading up to Samoil’s Fortress for panoramic views over the city and lake. The route continues to the Church of St. John at Kaneo, perched dramatically above the water and famous for its picture-perfect setting.

During the warmer months, you’ll have the option to swim in the lake or join a boat trip (additional fee). There will also be free time to grab lunch at a local restaurant. After a full day of exploring, the tour concludes with a comfortable return journey to Skopje.
