Very interesting. Each former building had a QR code to hear about how the Romans lived at Heraclea Lyncestis. The theatre has been restored so if you walk up beside the exterior walk or climb up the inside steps and you will be rewarded with a great view over the whole complex. There are lovely mosaics and a gentleman was working in one of the sections doing restoration work.

If you plan to visit this site, please bring food the stray animals here. Especially the cats. 🙏🏻 The mosaics are amazing! There was some old scaffolding and collapsed wooden bridges that should be picked up from the site, but it was really remarkable and definitely worth the trip!

If you're a history lover like me this is the place to visit! Between Heraclea and Stobi I can't decide which one is my favorite. From the theatre to the baths and fountains, it is really worth to visit

Very beautiful archaeological site, with some nice mosaics. Reminded me a lot (in a smaller scale) the structure of some parts of Dion archeological site. A nice inscription in Greek on one of the columns

An archaeological treasure and little known outside Macedonia. We visited on a weekday in late September. The site is a pleasant walk through the park from Shirok Sokak, past the Museum. 1.6km/1mile by foot. The mosaics are impressive. Don't miss the small museum collection. Reception staff are friendly, English speaking and provide excellent English language description via WiFi on your smartphone.

The mosaics are very well maintained, their colours teleport you back in time. The postcards at the office are very pretty and cheap as well. The amphitheater is in such a good condition, there are festivals and concerts organised at this place. The visit was worth it and I recommend it to everyone interested in Macedonian history!

Very interesting archeological site with beautiful mosaics. The museum is not looked after though, it needs some basic cleaning really. Can anyone do that? There is a small colony of cats living there by the small house. If you love cats as we do, bring some food with you!

Great location at the foothills of moint Pelister.

Impressive clock tower which actually tells the time! I visited twice!

Manastır is a perfect city. And the clock tower is the place that symbolizes the city. The parc is great to rest in city center and there are a lot of parking areas around the parc. First 15 minutes is free. If you are coming to Ohrid for a visit, please do not skip Manastir (Bitola) and you won’t be regretful.

Bitola is a beautiful city in Macedonia ❤️

Nice place with so many cafes around it.

Scenic spot in the center of Bitola near mosques and the pedestrian promenade. There's a plaque outside the tower about its history. I don't know if it's possible to enter.

Pretty nice clock tower at a park with elegant gardens. One of the most beautiful locations at the town.

Lovely museum, for the price of the ticket you get to see a lot. From history of the city, to Ataturks life, Macedonian life and culture. I highly recommend it

Went to go and visit the museum as we were in the area, google said that this was open. However once we opened the door the place had been completely stripped bare and was under construction.

Its cheap to enter but the museum is more than half empty. Translations to english are not always present and the ones that exist have encoding issues, like the #39 in the attqched image.

Significant place for Turkish people as this was a military school Atatürk attended. Building is nice. There is not much unique things to see but gives you some idea about the local culture and history. 120 MKD entrance fee.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk started at the Manastır Military High School on March 13, 1896, after successfully completing his studies at the Selanik Military Junior High School. During his time there, he became friends with Ömer Naci, who would later be known as a skilled orator and who sadly died of typhoid while serving in the Special Organization during World War I. Ömer Naci played an important role in developing Mustafa Kemal’s interest in literature and public speaking. Another student at the school was Ali Fethi (Okyar), who would later become one of Atatürk’s close friends. Mustafa Kemal completed the Manastır Military High School successfully and continued his education at the Military Academy in Istanbul on March 13, 1899.

It was a very moving moments for us because our first president and Turkish freedom hero Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was completed military education in this school. We saw his uniforms and we felt the atmosphere. It was an honour to be there 🇹🇷

It’s small and we were aspecting for more especially from the Jewish side the building was in a process of renovation

A restful place. Magnolia tees just coming in to bloom. We were there as grief was outpoured for the lives lost at Pulse nightclub. It still felt peaceful amidst the grief and anger.

Magnolia Square is a delightful community hub in Bitlla, featuring lush greenery, charming shops, and cozy cafes. It's perfect for leisurely strolls, picnics, and enjoying local markets with fresh produce and handmade crafts. A must-visit spot that captures the essence of the town and its vibrant culture!

This cafe is surrounded by small cafes and restaurants, vivid zone in the center and it is worthy to see and sit on the bench to feel the lively atmosphere.

After leaving Greece, our first stop was here. The square is wide and quiet. Magnolia Square brings together many works from the Ottoman period and Austrian architecture. It is surrounded by cafes, restaurants, boutique shops. The famous Sirok Street of Bitola (Manastır) city starts from this square.

Magnolia Square is the heart of Bitola and a perfect blend of history and modern life. Surrounded by Ottoman and Macedonian architecture, the square features a statue of Philip II of Macedonia and a beautiful fountain adorned with the Vergina Sun. It’s a peaceful space to relax, with plenty of seating, and offers a great view of Bitola’s iconic Clock Tower, which lights up beautifully in the evenings. The square is close to Širok Sokak, the city’s main pedestrian street, lined with cafes, shops, and neoclassical buildings. Magnolia Square is a gathering spot for locals and tourists, where you can enjoy the vibrant city life, have a coffee, and take in the surrounding landmarks like the clock tower and Yeni Mosque. Whether you’re passing through for a quick break or spending an evening, Magnolia Square truly captures the charm of Bitola’s historic and lively atmosphere

I'm Irish. I like this pub. There is nothing Irish about it except it's friendly and the beer is good. But that's good enough, isn't it?

Water fountain is not working all the time. There's trash all around it and homeless people too.

Best place in Bitola, whether you want to eat, go shopping, spend time with family, friends, couples or solo. It is wonderful to visit at any time of the day

Really amazing place it feels so magical

Shirok Street is the heart of Bitola and one of the most famous promenades in North Macedonia. It is a favorite meeting place for both locals and visitors, where people gather to enjoy a coffee, take a walk, or simply soak in the vibrant atmosphere. Along the street, you can also find historical sites and monuments like The Clock Tower and old Ottoman buildings like mosques or etc. that reflect Bitola’s rich past as an important cultural and commercial center. Both during the day and in the evening, Shirok Street offers a unique experience.

Main street about 600 meters. Shops ,coffes and restaurants. We have got some Rain ouside . At the end you will find the tower watch also

Very beautiful place. I hope some stores will stop ripping off tourists.

No Motor traffic Great idea you can walk up and down exploring the many shops Restaurants and cafes Shirock Sokak really comes alive in the late evening

Amazing place whit clean air, have a good walk around … so many stores and good old looking infrastructure

They do not know what is ""Well cooked". I am pregnant and ı asked them to make hamburger "well cooked" , the meat was first Pink then Black. Our waiter was veryansın kind but barmen was useless

Food is absolutely delicious, manaki burger probably the best burger I've ever had anywhere. 5⭐

Food poisoning!! I’ve already learnt that the culinary scene in this country is horrible, but still… i’ve ordered a cold coffee which was 100% from a neacafe instant powder 3 in 1 you buy in the supermarket. Ordered a burger and not only was the meat inedible, but it was not cooked all the way through! The day after got food poisoning. Avoid this place.

Everything is good and awesome,but i asked for pepsi and I needed to ask 4 times to bring me one, but thats not the end because he didn’t even bring glass for the pepsi

I do not have any complaint about the food, which is excelent, but I will place a great disapointment about the service and time of preparing and serving the dishes. To be served with a simple fried fish and few chips as well as with two beef soups, we were waiting more than one hour. Finally when we were served, the explanation of one of the staff members was that the kitchen was very busy prepaing a big order from last night. Totally unacceptable explanation... If any of you guys reading this post and if you do not know what to do with your spare time, go visit this Longe Bar Manaki and wait for hours to be served!!!

The food is always top notch. I especially respect the pizza with four different types of cheese. Also there is this beer I really appreciate there. The service is usually very quick.

Excellent food

Nice choice of wines. Gool location. Food is decent, Steak deserves 5 stars, other meals closer to 3. Overall, not bad. Stuff is kind and helpfull. Big minus for owners, hygiene outside and first impression, close to 2. (take a look at 2nd pic) Tablecloth is in unacceptable condition for a restaurant.

Great food and location as well! Enjoyed in the dinner 🍽️ Service was also very good.

i really wanted to like this place, and there are some good things about it, but there are also a lot of things that need serious improvement. First off, the staff were kind and friendly, which I appreciate. And I actually like the overall style and vibe they’re going for. But unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The food was okay, nothing special, but not bad either. The problem is how long it took to come out. We waited way too long, and when it finally arrived, we were given dirty forks, spoons, and knives. Not just smudged, dirty. That’s honestly not acceptable in any restaurant. The bathroom was just as bad. Dirty and clearly not checked or cleaned regularly. And what really bothered me was that the staff didn’t even try to hide it. No one seemed concerned about the state of the place, which makes you wonder how things are behind the scenes. This place could be good with the right care and effort, but right now, it just feels neglected. 3 stars only because of the friendly staff and potential. Otherwise, it would’ve been lower.

Downtown restaurant & wine bar with a good selection of the Tikves brand; delicious traditional food, though some dishes were missing from the menu (sarma & a premium pork steak); good service; decent prices; free wi-fi; no parking;

Ordered Chicken Fajita, there was no chicken inside, ordered Dubara chicken sticks supposed to be with chips…no chips, just the chicken and some mustard… paid for double Sopska sallad, got only for one person if you compare with other restaurants.. even the cutlery was not very clean…no more Bure for me..

Great choice if you want to try local wines and good food. Especially if the weather allows, it is the perfect place to sit in Magnolia Square and drink a glass of wine. But apart from the wine, everything we tasted was pretty good.

Inside it looks interesting but the menu had missing plates such as the calf veal. The bottle I was brought was pretty dirty. The glass had few stains too. The menu is rich but meat wise it is mostly pork and chicken.

We stopped for a family lunch on our way back from Greece. The food was very good, but unfortunately the atmosphere was not pleasant – there were many uncleaned tables. The service was very poor, we waited around 20 minutes before being served and the waiter came with great delay. Both the food and the bill were served very late. Even though there were many waiters, there was no coordination between them, and they were more focused on chatting with each other rather than serving the customers. For a restaurant of this level, this is unacceptable and leaves a negative impression.

This is the best restaurant in Bitola. I was in the town for 2 days and I revisited Aurum 3 times. I usually never do that but this place has many excellent plates to offer! High quality ingredients carefully chosen in a perfect blend. I will definitely be visiting Aurum again!

Me and my boyfriend visited this restaurant for a relaxing morning coffee, but the experience turned into one of the most unpleasant visits we’ve ever had. Despite the place being fairly busy, it took over 30 minutes before anyone came to clean our table or even take our order. During that time, we politely called out to two or three waitresses who simply made faces and brushed us off with, “I’ll come in a minute,” yet never did. When our order was finally taken, we requested two iced macchiatos, but were instead served hot macchiatos. We decided not to complain further, as the atmosphere already felt tense and unwelcoming. Unfortunately, the coffee itself had a burnt, unpleasant taste, and after just a few sips, I discovered something horrifying — a dead earwig insect inside the cup. We immediately reported it to the staff and the woman manager, who shockingly dismissed the situation with, “It’s just a bug, come on, order a different coffee.” Such a response was not only unprofessional but completely unacceptable, especially for a restaurant that claims to be high-end. Between the poor service, unhygienic conditions, and lack of accountability from management, this establishment completely failed to meet even basic standards of hospitality. I would strongly advise others to think twice before visiting — no one should have to experience this level of negligence and disregard for customers’ health. All best xx

Comfortable place, cozy atmosphere.The food was very good. We didn’t wait more than 30 minutes for our food.

The best place in Bitola… amazing and delicious food, the service was extra super 💯💯👌🏻👌🏻🌟🌟

I’m really disappointed and upset with how my friends and I were treated at your restaurant. We’re all over 18 and came in excited to eat, ready to spend our money and have a good time. Instead, the hostess was incredibly rude and turned us away for no clear reason. She talked to us with such a bad attitude that it honestly ruined our night. We had real cash to spend and were looking forward to a nice dinner, but we were made to feel unwelcome and disrespected. No one deserves to be treated like that, especially when just trying to enjoy a meal out.

Modern and contemporary place. The food and service were good. Great atmosphere for a dinner or cocktail.

This bakery isn't what it used to be, most of the baked goods are mediocre and prices are pretty high for what you get. At the end of the day it's the last resort if you're looking for food Saturday night at 3:48AM.

Yoooooo this place right here is the best bakery Ive been to in Macedonia. The freshness of all the pastries maaaaaannnnnnnnn, you cannot resist the aroma u can smell from across the street. And guess what, they also make doughnuts and ice cream like whaaaaa... An easy 5⭐ from me.

A bit more expensive than the other bakeries but at least the staff is nice and the food is always fresh. It works 24/7 which is great but because there's so many people buying from there, the river gets polluted and the bakery doesn't really care much.

Best bakery in town that works 24/7. Always fresh food, kind staff and best food. It offers around 120 different breads, sweets and pastry

This is our local bakery and I absolutely recommend to everyone. Close to the city center, always fresh bread and tasty bagels, are waiting for you to start or end the day.

Fresh and delicious pastries! Has tables inside as well if you would like to sit here and eat, or you can easily take the food to go and walk or sit by the river accross the street.

The staff is very nice, everything is fresh and tastes very good. I like that their products are different from what other bakeries offer, much more interesting.

First of all it's questionable if their food even classifies as Pizza as it is served with Ketchup!!! We ordered a Salami Pizza and they gave us an entirely different Pizza with some random toppings, just not Salami. When we told them it was the wrong order, they didn't want to take it back and instead told us it was the traditional macedonian way to make Salami Pizza.

Pizza is overpriced for what amounts to a gross, pasty slice served with ketchup. So much garbage that all the bins and walk way are littered with their boxes. I asked for no box for my 1 slice and they said they had to use a box. No wonder 10 steps away there was a pile of them!

Best value for money pizza in Bitola. For a few dinars you take a extra large slice of tasty pizza. A obligatory stop during a walk in Shirok Sokak.

The slices are huge and this pizza is my favourite I love the amount of cheese they put on it 😊. Very good pizza and it’s cheap as well, give it a try I highly Recommend

Good pizza, not oily or over the top. We all enjoyed it 😃!

The best pizza places in Bitola. But sometimes it takes them 20min to get you your slice, because the have an order od like 10 pizzas.😅

Mr. Dragan is so kind and speaks English very well. Pizza was so tasty and not too expensive. Thank you.
