Additional Information

A guide who speaks English will collect you from the designated meeting place in Sofia at 9:00AM. Following a roughly 2-hour scenic drive, we will reach the border of Serbia.

Upon crossing the Serbian border, our journey takes us to the nearby Bosilegrad, a notable location in former Yugoslavia, before returning across the Bulgarian border towards Northern Macedonia.

Another brief drive lands us at the stunning Osogovo Monastery, a mesmerizing site with a history dating back to the 12th Century, that has since transitioned from mosque to church. Bask in the tranquility and take a leisurely stroll around the gorgeous premises. Afterward, we’ll stop for lunch to savor delicious Macedonian grill (choice of meat or fish) accompanied by a Skopsko beer.

Please be aware that the cumulative travel time is approximately 5 hours.

Excellent day trip - The trip is scenic through forests and mountainous areas. The guide did an excellent job driving and handling the border crossings. The highlights are visiting two countries in one day and the fantastic lunch in a beautiful setting in North Macedonia.

A wonderful day - Our transport was prompt and comfortable and Stefan was an excellent guide and driver. Our trip into a Serbian village was very different and we suspected we were probably some of the first tourists there. Lovely countryside all the time and the border checks went smoothly with Stefan's help. Osgovo monastery is a treasure and the locally caught trout and salad at lunch were delicious. It is a lot of time in a vehicle but we didnt mind that and highly recommend the trip. Stefan also recommended a very good restaurant that we visited the next day.
