In its 2,500 years of existence, Macedonia’s welcoming capital city has had many different incarnations. All of them – from Roman to Byzantine, from Ottoman to Yugoslav – have left indelible traces on the city, as is evidenced by Skopje’s varied architecture and its mix of cultures.
Here one can find sleek modern hotels above cobblestoned Ottoman streets, stately neoclassical homes right around the corner from grand old Yugoslav-era buildings, chic cafes, shopping malls and brightly-colored new offices, red-bricked Byzantine churches and rounded Turkish mosques. The concentrated complexity of Skopje today entices visitors, offering a great variety of things to see and do and constantly reminding of the city’s storied past. The world’s best cities all contain at least one secluded natural escape. Skopje has two – a long, tree-lined park along the river, and the forested hills of Mt. Vodno, which overlooks the city from the southwest and offers excellent hiking and wilderness serenity within walking distance of downtown Skopje. The summit of Mt. Vodno is also crowned by the enormous Millennium Cross that presides over the city. From here one gets even more magnificent views of Macedonia’s capital. Skopje also boasts reliable public transportation and taxis, as well as a plethora of modern internet cafes for keeping in touch with the folks back home. And it is also one of the safest cities in Europe.

There isn't much to see in Skopje. The city has a run down feel, with the parks overgrown and rubbish strewn along the sidewalk. People are friendly though and life is bubbles through in unexpected corners.The first place we came to was an ancient Turkish bath, which now houses the art museum. It has been converted beautifully, so you can still appreciate the high domed roof and latticeworks, while plain white walls show off the art to its best effect. The exhibits are mainly modern art and s...

Imagine being surrounded by mountains everywhere you look and the further you are the bluer they appear. Welcome to Macedonia. A mountainous region where there is still a strong unique cultural identity.
From the moment you get off at the airport you see a sign "The Alexander the Great airport". Once you have seen this sign you know that you are in for an experience that will leave a huge impression on you.
The airport is located in the capital city Skopje. Skopje is an up and co...

One of my favorite places to travel to. Their money is still in Dinar, so to make a long story short, affordable! The women, well lets say that there must be something in the water there. But for sight seeing, Birth place of Alexander the Great, birth place of Mother Terresa. A lot of history in this little country, I highly recommend Skopje, and staying at the Holiday Inn.
