Bring your passport
You’ll cross an international border — carry your passport and any visa documents to avoid delays at customs.
Stay hydrated
Pack a refillable water bottle; summer temperatures can make urban walking draining and water stations aren’t always obvious.

If you plan to visit Bunk'Art or the National History Museum, factor in extra time during your free period — admissions are not included.
Passport or national ID (as required)
Necessary for the international border crossing between North Macedonia and Albania.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive footwear helps on uneven urban sidewalks and during the 3–4 km walking portion.
Refillable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated during walking and while exploring outdoor markets or squares.
Light rain jacket or wind layer
Spring weather can shift quickly; a light layer keeps you comfortable during breezy periods.
