Dubrovnik to
Skopje transfer

About the Dubrovnik to Skopje transfer

Dubrovnik to Skopje is an 800-km multi-country long-haul from Croatia’s UNESCO walled Adriatic city to the capital of North Macedonia on the Vardar river. About 10-12 hours direct via Montenegro, Albania and the SH1/SH4 into Macedonia. Skopje is the birthplace of Mother Teresa (born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in 1910) and home to the massive “Skopje 2014” urban renewal project — a controversial decade-long installation of neo-classical monuments, statues (Alexander the Great on a 22-m column in Macedonia Square is the headline), and baroque facades over Yugoslav-era modernist buildings.

The route itself

From Dubrovnik south through Montenegro to Podgorica, then south-east via Lake Skadar to the Albanian border at Hani i Hotit. Inside Albania the SH1 runs south through Shkodër and Tirana, then the SH4 turns east through Elbasan and Librazhd to the Macedonian border at Qafa e Thanës near Lake Ohrid. From there the SH4/E65 runs east through Struga, Kichevo and Tetovo to Skopje.
