Skopje eSIM
82 North Macedonia plans · from $3.86
Skopje is a city of two halves — an Ottoman old bazaar on one bank and, on the other, a centre rebuilt in the 2010s with an extraordinary density of neoclassical statues. A travel eSIM covers North Macedonia including Ohrid, and the country sits outside EU roaming.
Landing at Skopje International (SKP)
The airport is 20km east, about 25 minutes by shuttle bus or taxi. Many travellers arrive overland instead — buses from Pristina, Sofia and Thessaloniki all run to the main station.

How “Unlimited” works: Never cut off — each plan gives a set amount of full-speed data, then a slower speed. The exact allowance and speed are shown on every plan.Read more
Unlimited plans never run out and your eSIM is never disconnected, but every one has a fair-use limit: a set amount of full-speed data, after which the speed is reduced. The amounts differ between plans — most give a daily full-speed allowance that refills every 24 hours from when you first activate the eSIM, while Premium plans give a larger allowance for the whole plan instead. Each plan states its own allowance and the speed after it before you buy. At the reduced speed, messaging, maps, email and light browsing still work; video streaming and video calls may not. If you want every gigabyte at full speed, choose a fixed-GB plan.
Which networks you'll be on in Skopje
Siima eSIMs for North Macedonia ride A1 Makedonija and Makedonski Telekom. Coverage is strong in Skopje and the main towns and good along the highways.
Coverage around Skopje
Old Bazaar and the centre
Good coverage across the Čaršija, the Stone Bridge and Macedonia Square. The bazaar's covered lanes weaken it briefly in places.
Matka Canyon
Half an hour from the city, covered at the dam and along the first stretch of the gorge path. The kayak routes and the caves further in drop out.
Vodno and the Millennium Cross
The cable car and the summit are covered, with the best signal and the best view in the city.
Ohrid and the lake
The three-hour drive south-west is covered on the main road, and Ohrid town, the lakeshore and the monasteries all have service.
How much data you need
A few days in North Macedonia is 2 GB; a week including Ohrid and the mountains is 3–4 GB.
