Macedonia has a rich cultural heritage in art, architecture, poetry, and music. It has many ancient, protected religious sites.
Macedonia is characterized by a developed hydrographic net. It has numerous springs, a wide river net and many natural and artificial lakes. Strong springs or wellsprings can mainly be found on limestone terrain. Such are the springs Rasche, from which Skopje is supplied with drinking water.
Travellers should exercise caution when travelling near North West Macedonia, the Kosovo borders, and the area bordering Serbia. All of these areas have an increased level of danger.
