Skopje eSIM

82 North Macedonia plans · from $3.70

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Does EU roaming apply in North Macedonia?
No — it is not an EU member, so standard international roaming rates apply even for EU residents. The Western Balkans regional arrangement covers the neighbouring countries but not visitors from the EU or further afield.
Can I use the same eSIM in Skopje and Ohrid?
Yes. Siima plans for North Macedonia are country-wide, covering Skopje, Ohrid, Bitola and Mavrovo on one eSIM.
How do I set up an eSIM before arriving in Skopje?
Install it at home while you still have Wi-Fi: open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM and scan the QR code from your Siima confirmation email. Leave the line switched off until you land — the plan starts counting from first use in North Macedonia, not from purchase.
How much data do I need for a trip to Skopje?
A few days in North Macedonia is 2 GB; a week including Ohrid and the mountains is 3–4 GB.
Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming in Skopje?
Almost always. Daily roaming passes from most home carriers run $10–15 per day, while Siima plans covering Skopje start from $3.70 for the whole trip. You also avoid per-megabyte charges if you exceed a roaming pass allowance.
