HH with cardboard "Skopje". Got ride in 5 min. No shadow at the ramp.

I stood pretty close to the ramp with a sign that had VELES written in the latin alphabet on it. A man stopped and was even able to bring me further than Veles, since I was trying to get to the greece border.

quite hard to get here bc not a single app was right about the bus timetable, ended up taking bus 51 (none of the others were coming) which was an unsafe walk to this spot so maybe be a bit more patient with the busses

Lol didn't even had the time to write my sign (used the thumb while few cars were passing by) that a car with two Macedonians asked me where I go : "South, North Macedonia...Bulgaria?" "Come in!". Indirect ride to Skopje because they invited me at a generous grill restaurant! Had no problem to pass me trough the border, even though I was heavily controlled

Created a sign for skopje on the flight and made sure to display it prominently on the flight. When I landed I walked to the road. Sadly there is nowhere to actually pull over, but cars where repeatedly happy to stop on in the middle of the road as theres very little traffic, its a small airport, and people are pretty chill and cool. I walked along this road towards the roundabout, thumbing cars that came, and I think the tenth car stopped and just said get in. No taxi approaches and the driver spoke perfect English and where cool travellers themselves. Had a lovely journey and arrived in skopje before the shuttle bus (which would have cost €4) had even left the airport.

If you dont feel like hitching there is a shuttle bus for 199 den (about 4eur). But it leaves every two hours. The ATMS and money changers offer crap rates. Change money in the city.

I have used this spot also two years ago, don’t remember how long we waited back then, but this time I didn’t wait long at all and got directly to Prizren.

I saw a few plates with KU and only talked to them while having a sign as well. Second person I asked took me.

Used this spot to hitch a ride into Skopje. I ended up just focussing on the people coming off the A2 highway, as traffic already on the road was driving too quickly and no space to pull over. But it works out perfectly because all drivers coming from the A2 have to come to a complete stop and wait until traffic is clear so enough time to make some hand signals and get some real eye contact.

Got picked up by a truck while standing in the grass on the left side the road (driver side). Used a sign with Skopje. Little shade but the post of a tall sign was just about big enough to hitch partly shaded. People drive slow here and you're very visible
