Tips for Visiting Toše Proeski Arena #

  • Arrive at least an hour before kickoff for major matches or concerts - the arena is in a central area of Skopje and public-transport bottlenecks plus security checks can create long entry queues.
  • Rely on public transport and official shuttle info on event days; on-street parking is limited and surrounding roads are often subject to temporary closures, so plan your return trip in advance.
  • Check your ticket for a specified gate and sector entry and follow stadium signage - entries are strictly zoned, and using the wrong gate can add unnecessary walking and delays.
