Dos

• Visit touristic attractions.
• Try Macedonian food. Macedonian specialties are offered in traditional restaurants such as those in Stara Carsija in Skopje.
• Get fresh foods including fruit and vegetables from the Pazars that can be found in every Macedonian city or town.
• Tap water is safe to drink as are public drinking water fountains that can be found in most public places.
• On arrival in the Republic of North Macedonia declare all foreign currency exceeding 10,000 Euros. Failure to do so may result in detention and forfeiture of undeclared funds.
• A foreign national staying in a private home is required to register at the nearest police station within 48 hours of arrival (take the owner or landlord of the residence with you).   For visitors staying at hotels, such registration is part of the check-in procedure.
• Make sure your passport has at least six months validity from your planned date of return.
• Monitor local media event coverage and follow the instructions of the local authorities.
• Taxis are considered  safe. To avoid conflicts about the fare, use legitimate, metered taxis.
