In general, Macedonia is a safe country. We are reccomending to watch out for your pockets and wallets in crowded areas, as well as the taxi drivers, esspecialy when your transfer is from the airport. Pay attention on young and persistent Gipsy beggars, particularly around the city square in Skopje, and at traffic lights. Opposit of insolving them, walk quickly into the nearest café or store to avoid them.
We are strongly recommending comprehensive travel insurance, including medical insurance, to be obtained before travelling to Macedonia. People travelling to Macedonia for dental or medical treatment should ensure that their travel insurance will cover them in case of any complications that might occur. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for the activities you want to undertake.
