How is the Visa and MasterCard acceptance in Macedonia?
I am from Denmark and I am travelling to Macedonia this week. My bank cannot tell me (!) if my Visa and MasterCard can be used in Macedonia. Has anyone experienced any issues using either Visa or MasterCard in Macedonia?
Best Answer
I accidentally came across this post after a google search for visa services. I am from Macedonia and I can confirm that VISA/MasterCard are accepted everywhere where they have a POS terminal. Almost all of the places have one so everyone using a card will be fine. Having around 50 euros in cash is advisable, just in case you need cash for something.
For instance, taxi can only be paid in cash (around 3 euros per 5km) or stuff on open flea markets.
