The Kriva Palanka-Kyustendil border crossing connects Macedonia and Bulgaria. One can walk across this border.

The border sees very little traffic on Sundays, only a couple of cars an hour. If you are going from Skopje to Sofia, it may well be faster to go up to Niš in Serbia and then back down into Bulgaria instead of choosing this crossing. However, for going further into Bulgaria, you can take a taxi from the border to Kyustendil and ask the driver to leave you on the road towards your destination.

Welcome to the European Union :-)
