In this digital nomad guide to Ohrid, you’ll find out all you need to know about remote working and living in the gorgeous city of Ohrid in North Macedonia. Being a digital nomad here is a hugely rewarding experience thanks to its location on beautiful Lake Ohrid.
There are lots of cafes and restaurants around the old town and along the waterfront that are perfect for working, and taking in some incredible views. I spent a couple of months working and living as a digital nomad in North Macedonia last year and spent most of my time based in Ohrid.
In addition to the excellent cafes (that thankfully feature fast WiFi) there are a couple of co-working spaces in the town if you’re looking for somewhere with fewer distractions (it’s particularly easy to become distracted by the gorgeous mountain and lake views). It’s also a very cheap place to live with accommodation and food costing a lot less than elsewhere in Europe.
About Ohrid
Ohrid is a city located in the southwest of North Macedonia on the shores of Lake Ohrid. Although a city in name, it feels much more like a town. It’s very small and has a population of just 42,000 people (making it one of the smallest cities in Europe).
It has a rich history including time as part of many different empires from Hellenic to Ottoman and later Yugoslavia. Evidence of this is on display everywhere across the city from the Hellenic amphitheater to the mosques, monasteries, and churches dotted around the old town and beyond.
There are lots of wonderful things to do in Ohid from walking along the boardwalk to sipping drinks on the lakeshore, swimming at one of the many beaches, or hitting one of the gorgeous hiking trails. There are boat trips that depart from the center of town to nearby places of interest like Sveti Naum and the Bay of Bones.
Living in Ohrid As a Digital Nomad
Living in Ohrid as a digital nomad is easy as there’s excellent infrastructure, fast and reliable WiFi (though 5G is yet to be rolled out across the region), and plenty of excellent cafes where you can sit and work with a cup or two of the local Turkish-style coffee (or a Frapamochacino if you prefer).
Coworking isn’t really a huge thing in this part of the world yet, however, there are two coworking spaces in Ohrid so if you prefer to work in a more formal setting, this is certainly possible (see below for more info). Personally, I prefer to work in the citys’ cafes, as outside of lunchtime and…
