North Macedonia: city games
A City Game turns a walk through a city in North Macedonia into a self-guided game. You follow a route on your smartphone, solve puzzles at real landmarks and pick up the stories behind the streets as you go. City Games run in two cities in North Macedonia: Skopje and Bitola.
You decide when to start. Stop for a coffee or a museum visit and continue whenever you like. A game usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours and covers 3 to 4 km on foot, which makes it an easy way to see the highlights of a city in North Macedonia in a single afternoon.

North Macedonia keeps its history at eye level. Skopje puts an Ottoman bazaar and a stone bridge on one side of the river and a centre full of new statues and neoclassical facades on the other, with the fortress looking over both. Bitola, in the south, has a pedestrian avenue of former consulates and cafés, a covered market and the Roman ruins of Heraclea just outside town.
Cafés are part of the route and prices are low, so a break costs little. Summer afternoons are hot; the bazaar and the shaded avenue are easier in the morning. Compare all City Games or browse all our destinations to pick your next city.
