Town is amazing and probably the most beautiful one in Macedonia. You need at least 2-3 days to visit several churches, walk around the lake and take a boat ride (we wanted the 5-hour trip for 25 € but did not have enough time to do it). Landscape is incredibly beautiful, town is very clean and not crowded if you avoid going in summer (September seems the best month according to locals).

You've got to find the real, old center of the town, just beneath the castle/fortress. There are few restaurants and the possibility to buy original Ohrid pearls. If you're willing to ask and listen, you can also learn about the production of the pearls, which is really interesting.

Nice old town on the shores of the Ohrid lake with monumental history and lots of leisure possibilities. Wonderful to take a walk around and to visit other interesting places on the lake. People are very friendly. A tour by the boat is extremely recommended since it offers nice view to the city and the surrounding mountains. The food is exceptional, especially the fish,

Some must visit places in Ohrid would be; Bay of the Bones, Samuel’s Fortress, St Jovan Kaneo and St Naum. To get around to Bay of the Bones and St Naum, it’s best to book a boat cruise which you will find a lot of different company’s along the harbour of Ohrid Centre. Cruises generally start around 10/11am and finish by 3pm. Be sure to check the route of where the cruises take you as some may not do full tours. Samuel’s Fortress and St Jovan Kaneo are walking distance both close by to the centre. I’d definitely recommend visiting St Jovan Kaneo at sunset for breathtaking and picture perfect panoramic views. For dinner, you can find a lot of restaurants in the heart of the centre and along the harbour. One top restaurant would be ‘The Lion’ with quality food and amazing service.

Beautiful place, lots to do. Definitely recommend hiring a private boat like we did for 6 hrs that took us to historical places. Loved the walk to Sv.Jovan church. Everything was amazing. Could of definitely stayed longer then 5 days. Restaurants near the lake more pricey then near the end of the charsia.

We only stayed 3 nights but it wasn’t long enough. The city was fabulous, the surrounding areas (St Naum Monastery & The Bay of Bones) amazing and Magaro Peak in the Galicica Oark was stunning. We will definitely be back !
