Skopje International Airport (SKP) is 23 km east of the city. The drive into the centre takes 25–35 minutes, depending on traffic.
Shuttle bus
A shuttle bus runs between the airport and the city on a fixed schedule. It is the cheapest option, but it stops at set points, not at your hotel. Check the current timetable before you fly, especially for late arrivals.
Taxi or private transfer
A fair price for a car from the airport to central Skopje is about €18–28. With a pre-booked transfer the price is agreed before you land and the driver waits for you in arrivals, so there is no haggling at the taxi rank.
Going on to Ohrid?
Many visitors head straight to Lake Ohrid. From the airport it is 170 km, about 2.5–3 hours by car, typically €90–130 per car. Buses go from Skopje's bus station, so you would first need to get into the city.
