GOOD TO KNOW
A few practical notes to help you feel at home from the moment you arrive.
Currency
The local currency is the Macedonian denar (MKD). €1 is approximately 61.5 MKD.
Language
Macedonian is the official language. English is commonly spoken in hotels, restaurants and among younger people.
September Weather
September is generally warm and sunny. Average temperatures are around 25°C during the day and 12°C at night. We recommend bringing a light layer for later in the day.
Mobile & Roaming
Macedonia is outside the EU’s current full roaming area. Please check roaming charges with your mobile provider before travelling.
Payments & Tipping
Cards are widely accepted, although some cash is useful for markets, taxis and smaller establishments. Tipping is appreciated but informal. Around 5–10% is customary for good service.
Electricity
European Type C and F plugs are used, with a standard voltage of 230V.
Wedding Gifts
We do not have a gift registry. While it is customary in Macedonia for wedding guests to give a monetary gift to the newlyweds, your presence at our celebration is truly all we could wish for.
