Ancient Theatre of Ohrid

A Hellenistic open-air theatre cut into the Old Town hillside between Gorna Porta and the lake, and still working – concerts and the Ohrid Summer Festival are staged in it. It holds 4.5 on Google across roughly 4,800 reviews, which puts it among the most visited things in the city.

It is managed by the NI Institute for Protection of Monuments of Culture and Museum in Ohrid, which lists it among the city's archaeological sites. Sources disagree on whether there is an entrance fee, so treat it as a possibility rather than a certainty.

Local tip: It sits directly on the walk between the Upper Gate and the lakefront, so you pass it whether you plan to or not – check for a performance date while you are in town.
