The city is a popular location for holidaymakers and those on day trips. The city gets particularly busy in the summer months with more cars being on the road. It is therefore suggested that a small car, such as a Skoda Fabia, would be a good vehicle to hire, as it will help you navigate and park easier. If you’re looking to explore the countryside of North Macedonia, then an SUV would be more appropriate. For instance, a Kia Sportage handles well and is also better for uneven terrain.

You must stay within the speed limit when you are driving in North Macedonia; otherwise, you risk being prosecuted by the local authorities. For example, when you’re driving on a motorway, you can do a maximum of 130 km/h. In other rural areas outside of Ohrid, you can drive as fast as 80 km/h. As soon as you go into Ohrid or any other urban setting, the speed limit reduces to 50 km/h.

There are some great places to park your car hire in Ohrid, with some being free. The centre of the city is primarily car-free, so you will have to walk a little to get to the central sites. Parking Dolni Saraj is one place where you can park free of charge; it’s about a 5-minutes walk from popular attractions like the Ancient Macedonian Theatre of Ohrid. Alternatively, Parking Upper Gate, which is a similar distance away from the theatre, offers free parking too.
