Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Skopje
For the vast majority of travelers, Skopje International Airport (SKP) is the only practical choice; it is the only airport situated in the city itself and offers the most streamlined transport options. All other airports are located in neighboring cities and serve different regions. Prishtina International Airport “Adem Jashari” (PRN), located in Kosovo, is a viable alternative if you find better flight connections, though it necessitates a cross-border transfer. Tirana International Airport (TIA), Sofia Airport (SOF), and Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport (OHD) are significantly further away in Albania, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia respectively. Choosing these secondary airports generally only makes sense for multi-destination Balkan itineraries or when specific flight availability is required. For the most stress-free arrival, always pre-book private transfers when landing at non-local airports, as cross-border bus schedules can be infrequent and require coordination with local transport connections.

This hotel is definitely the best in North Macedonia! The staff are incredibly helpful and always ready to assist. I had a room with a view of the square, which was absolutely beautiful. Plus, I had access to the executive lounge. We really enjoyed the happy hour there. I would highly recommend this hotel!FromUS$155

There is an old street next to the hotel, which is very convenient for walking. There are many restaurants nearby. The room is OK, big enough, and the decoration is average.

Old Bazaar Skopje|0.83km from city center
The hotel is centrally located in Skopje, nestled between the Old Town and the river. There were plenty of outlets, and amenities like a hairdryer, soap, etc., were provided. The room and beds are very comfortable, though it can be a bit noisy, especially in the mornings, due to thin walls.
The breakfast was decent to good. There's a wide selection, but things like croissants are unfortunately just pre-packaged in plastic. Some dishes were left on tables for a bit longer, as the lady working there was alone, but that wasn't an issue for me.
All the staff are very nice and accommodating. I think a 4-star rating is appropriate for this reason. The rooms are very modern, but the mirror had a reddish discoloration at the bottom and generally looked quite worn.FromUS$53

Kisela Voda|8.34km from city center
Let’s talk about the shortcomings directly: the location is average, far away from the passenger terminal, airport bus station, and central commercial street. Fortunately, there is a relatively large supermarket nearby, which is quite convenient for buying daily necessities. It is recommended if you drive by yourself, but you should consider it if you use public transportation.FromUS$31

Skopje|0.56km from city center
staying nights on a ship on a dried up river in the middle of Skopje city was a great experience.
Though the room was ”compact”, it had all the expected amenities & everything worked fine.
Having our meals on the deck was very pleasant indeed, especially in the early autumn evenings. And prices were very reasonable, with a 10% discount for hotel guests. Service by all the staff was impeccable!
Unfortunately, not everything was perfect. The floorboards just outside our bathroom creaked (& bent) noticeably, possibly due to poor bath water draining that overtime had leaked into the wooden floorboards under the carpet, causing them to deteriorate over time. This needs to be fixed asap.
Hotel guests checking in face a long walk from the taxi dropoff location at the bridge about 200m away. This long walk is a challenge for senior travellers with big bags & taxi drivers are unwilling to help due to the risk of getting a ticket. For checking out, hotel staff assistance cannot be committed due to staff shortage.FromUS$99
