"To round out ancient history in Ohrid, I visit the Ancient Macedonian Theatre, which pairs nicely with the fortress and cliffside church for a full heritage day." - Caitlin Morton
It's incredible to find an ancient theater from the Hellenistic period so well-preserved and in the middle of the city. The best part is that access is open and completely free. You can walk through the seating rows, sit, and imagine what the performances were like centuries ago. Besides its historical importance, the site also offers a beautiful view of the lower part of the city and the lake.

What a gift to be able to use ancient spaces in your everyday life. Discovered by accident by a man digging, this large ancient theatre is not just a historical site, but hosts summer concerts. There's no fee to see it as its part of the everyday city.

It's free to visit and a good spot to see halfway up to the fortress on the top of the hill. The place has had a great historical, cultural, and archaeological value for the town. It requires better maintenance but still worth paying a visit.

Nice ancient Roman theater that is still in use today. It was buried until 1980. It is well preserved. It has awesome view on town and lake. There is no entrance fee.

One of the most important landmarks in Ohrid, Macedonia. Amazing place full of history and one of the best preserved ancient theatre that I visit. I highly recommend it! 😉

Lovely ancient theater. In terms of experience and looks it's nothing special, but all the side details do lift it up. Open 24/7, still used for concerts, you can walk the top as a shortcut road. It really is not just a monument, but also still a real part of the city.
