Must visit
Sep 2023 • Family
I had the best experience coming to the ancient city. We had Victor as a tour guide, we are so glad we had him (no extra cost) rather than the recorded tour because he was very passionate and knowledgeable. I loved the tapestry on the floor and learning about it. A definite highlight for us in Macedonia and would recommend it to anyone who visits and wants to see and learn about the history of this beautiful country.

Amazing site
Sep 2023 • Friends
Macedonia has many ancient archaeological sites and this one in Heraclea is one of the best preserved. If you are traveling around Macedonia, this is definitely an attraction that you should not miss.

Ancient city
Sep 2022 • Friends
The ancient city of Heraclea located on the outskirts of Bitola, which was founded by King Philip II of Macedonia in 4th century BC. Much less well preserved than Stobi and a lot smaller; work is ongoing to preserve the buildings and mosaics

Quiet site, with mosaics
Sep 2022
We walked here from the centre of Bitola. Its an interesting Roman/early Christian site. There's an online tour but only accessible with a mobile phone, but it is quite easy to see what the ruins are. It was fairly quiet when we were there - one or 2 small group tours. Small museum does not have much in it.

A ROMAN JEWEL
Oct 2022 • Couples
I love to explore ancient ruins. I'm particularly intrigued by Roman ruins whether of buildings or roads or viaducts; you name it. This is well worth checking out.

Must see in Bitola Area
Sep 2022
Rather shadeless site, however a very good sel-directed tour by smart phone. Nominal (120MKD) admission. The large, well preserved floor mosaics from the 4-5th C AD, as well as late Roman era town layout are the highlights of the visit. Bring a camera and a sun hat!

A hidden jewel of Roman times
Sep 2022 • Solo
It's the kind of place that you don't easily find if you follow touristic tips, so it was very pleasant to arrive there, find small groups, and feel free to explore the beautiful site by yourself. You even meet the archaeologists working on the mosaics peacefully.

Worth a detour to see incredibly intact beautiful mosaics
May 2022 • Solo
A wonderful old Roman ruin partially restored but with incredible mosaics. Not all of them can be seen as they are being protected but those that can be are fantastic. There are varoous basilica, a beautiful fountain and an amphitheater plus a thermal and other buildings. There are QR codes ypu can download to get more information and they worked great for me.
Well worth the 120 MKD entrance fee. Sadly the museum was closed when I visited.

Impressive Historical Site
Aug 2021 • Couples
You will likely have the place all to yourself. The person in charge of the site provided a detailed review in English. Lovely mosaics. And the amphitheatre is still in use. Much of the site is remnants of stone walls. Very clean and well equipped toilets. The amphitheatre is handicap-accessible (paid for by EU).
