North Macedonia: location, Skopje and basic facts
A first overview to help you place North Macedonia: its region, capital, recorded language and currency.
A country in southeastern Europe
North Macedonia is in Europe and is classified as part of the subcontinent of southeastern Europe. It is a landlocked country, a useful geographic detail for placing the destination, though on its own it does not determine which route or mode of transport to choose.
Skopje as the main point of reference
The capital is Skopje, also written Skopie in the geographic sources consulted. It is the only city identified in the available information; that is not enough to recommend neighborhoods, specific sights or connections to other destinations in the country.
Language and currency
Macedonian is the language listed, and the currency is the denar, whose symbol is given as den. Before setting off, check up-to-date information on payments, currency exchange and the acceptance of electronic payment methods: these basic facts do not describe current conditions at shops or service providers.
