Railway station

The Bitola railway station is on the edge of the city, out to the remains of Heraclea. 10 minutes from the ruins, and about 15 minutes walk from the heart of town. It seems like you're in the middle of nowhere, and taxi drivers are telling you to take advantage of it and never go far without help.The center is on your right, then straight ahead. The train system is not the best, but there is a connection to Skopje, the capital, 3 times a day. Veles also can stop where you change trains to go to Greece. Bitola is close to the border with Greece but there is no direct connection. The station is nothing special, but they speak English and helped us, taking time to explain the choies and travel times, we put away the suitcase while we were visiting the city, and they accepted the payment in euros.

There is a train to Sofia in Bulgaria, but not recommend in this area to cross borders with the train.

La station des trains de Bitola se trouve à la sortie de la ville, en allant vers les ruines d´Héraclea. Elle est à 10 minutes à pied des ruines, et à 15 minutes à pied du centre ville. On dirait pourtant quand on y arrive qu´on est au milieu de nulle part et les taxis en profitent pour nous dire qu´on est super loin et qu´on n´y arrivera jamais sans leur aide. En sortant de la gare, le centre est vers la droite, puis toujours tout droit. Le réseau des trains n´est pas le meilleur, mais il y a une connexion avec Skopje la capitale, trois fois par jours. On peut aussi s´arrêter à Veles où on fait un changement pour aller en Grèce. Bitola est proche de la frontière grecque mais il n´y a pas de connexion directe. La gare en soi n´a rien de spécial, sinon qu´ils parlent bien anglais et nous ont beaucoup aidé, prenant tout le temps nécessaire pour nous expliquer les options et les temps de voyage, nous ont gardé notre sac à dos pendant qu´on visitait la ville, et ont accepté les euros quand on n´avait plus de monnaie locale. Il y a un train qui part vers Sofia en Bulgarie, mais les passages de frontières sont en général super longs en train.
The train station in Bitola is out of the city, going to the ruins of Heraclea. It is 10 minutes walk from the ruins, and a 15-minute walk from downtown. Looks like yet when you get there that is in the middle of nowhere and taxis benefit to tell us we are super close and we'll never make it without their help. Leaving the station, the center is to the right, then straight ahead. The train network is not the best, but there is a connection with the capital Skopje, three times a day. You can also stop at Veles where we made a change to go to Greece. Bitola is close to the Greek border, but there is no direct connection. The station itself is nothing special, except that they speak good English and helped us a lot, taking the necessary time to explain the options and travel time, we have kept our backpack for that we visited the city, and agreed when the euro had no local currency. There is a train that goes to Sofia, Bulgaria, but border crossings are usually super long train.
