The medieval walls of Tsar Samuel’s Fortress climb the hill above Ohrid’s Old Town and offer the best panoramic view in the city, taking in the lake, the red-tiled rooftops, and the mountains across the water. Associated with Tsar Samuel of the First Bulgarian Empire, the fortress charges only a small entrance fee, and the walk up is short from the Old Town below. Sunset is the best time to visit, when the crowds thin and the light over the lake turns gold.
