The road and the border
From Sofia Airport the car takes the road south-west through Pernik and Kyustendil to the Gyueshevo – Deve Bair border, then down through Kriva Palanka and Kumanovo to Skopje. North Macedonia is not in the EU, so there is passport control on both sides of the border. Check before the trip whether your nationality can enter with an ID card or needs a passport or visa. At busy times, for example on summer weekends and holidays, plan extra time at the border.
The driver stops for coffee or a meal whenever you ask. The way back, from Skopje to Sofia Airport, costs the same; tell us your flight time and we plan the pickup with time for the border.
