Flight
There are two main ways to get to downtown from the airport. You can rent a car, as several rental companies offer reasonably priced options. Alternatively, taxis are available at the airport, or you can prebook a ride with a driver, which is highly recommended for convenience and affordability. You can download the Wizi app (formerly Cammeo) — it’s the closest thing to Uber in North Macedonia and the easiest way to book a taxi. If you need assistance arranging your airport transportation, please feel free to reach out. Skopje International Airport (SKP), Автопат „Александар Македонски, MK, North Macedonia
