The Old Bazaar in Skopje Old Town is a place that could be a charming dive into the city’s Ottoman past, but it ends up being an overwhelming and uncomfortable experience. The architecture is undeniably interesting, with its narrow cobblestone streets, old stone buildings, and remnants of a bygone era that give it a certain historical allure. The preserved shops, caravanserais, and traditional facades offer a glimpse into Skopje’s past, and for history buffs, this could be a highlight. However, the atmosphere is marred by issues that make it hard to enjoy. The area is overcrowded with gypsies, some of whom engage in persistent begging that feels intrusive and, at times, intimidating. This detracts significantly from the experience, turning a leisurely walk into a stressful navigation through constant solicitations. Additionally, the strong presence of Muslim culture, including frequent calls to prayer echoing from what feels like countless mosques, can be jarring for visitors not accustomed to it. While this is part of the area’s cultural fabric, the sheer volume and intensity can feel overwhelming, especially when combined with the chaotic crowds. The bazaar’s authenticity is a double-edged sword—it’s vibrant and bustling, but the lack of order and the aggressive street interactions make it feel less like a cultural gem and more like a disorganized mess. The absence of visible efforts to manage the crowds or maintain a welcoming environment for tourists only adds to the frustration. For every moment of architectural charm, there’s an equal dose of discomfort that makes the visit feel like a chore. In short, the Old Bazaar has the potential to be a fascinating stop in Skopje, but the intrusive begging and relentless noise from nearby mosques make it far less appealing. It’s a shame, as the historical elements deserve better presentation.

The Old Bazaar in Skopje was an unforgettable experience that truly captured the charm and spirit of the city. Walking through its narrow cobbled streets, I felt surrounded by history, with Ottoman-era architecture, old inns, and beautiful mosques creating a unique and timeless atmosphere. The blend of cultures and traditions gave the place a vibrant and authentic character. I loved browsing the small shops filled with traditional crafts, jewelry, and souvenirs, and the aroma of local food and coffee made the visit even more delightful. The lively yet welcoming atmosphere made it easy to spend hours exploring. The Old Bazaar was a perfect mix of history, culture, and everyday life—a highlight of my trip to Skopje.

historic marketplace that has been a hub of trade and culture since the Ottoman period. Lined with mosques, hammams, and artisan shops, it blends Eastern and Western influences, offering a vibrant glimpse into the city’s multicultural past and living traditions. Enjoy walking and around but be aware - on Sunday only few shops and restaurants are open, most of the shops are closed.

Visiting this place is like taking a trip back in time. It is one of the largest and oldest bazaars in the Balkans, dating back to the 12th century. The narrow cobblestone streets are filled with Ottoman-era architecture. The atmosphere is vibrant, full of craft shops, jewelers, cafes and restaurants. I found it great for a stroll, buying simple souvenirs and soaking up a genuine atmosphere.

A very interesting place, calm and vibrant in the same time. Worth to give it some time, both during daytime and in the evening, not only for shopping or having a beer or a coffee, but for a slow walk, to enjoy its history and spirit.

Charming bazar with great food, but watch the weather Visited on 26 October 2025 and spent about 2 hours exploring and trying food. The Old Bazar is a cute, small, historic area full of character, with lots of different things to try — perfect for wandering, taking in the architecture, and sampling local treats. We especially enjoyed some lokma at Lokmades Skopje, which was absolutely delicious! It was a bit rainy during our visit, and some roads had standing water due to poor drainage, so I’d suggest visiting on sunny days for a more comfortable experience. Overall, a must-visit spot for those wanting a taste of traditional Skopje and local flavors. ✅ Recommended.

The Old Bazaar in Shkup is simply phenomenal. The variety of shops, traditional craftsmen, and inviting restaurants is truly impressive. Walking through its narrow streets feels like stepping back in time, as if the modern world briefly fades away. This place isn’t just historically significant — it also carries the unmistakable cultural heritage of the Albanian people. A visit is always worth it.

I don't usually enjoy any destination with throngs of people, but this was well worth while. The canyon is quite beautiful, and we enjoyed the boat ride to the cave. While I recommend the boat ride, there is also a (free) walkway along the side of the canyon that was surprisingly empty, but which does not permit access to the cave. Tip: I originally considered hiring a cab to do this, but am very glad I saw the canyon as part of the Canyon Matka Tour. The tour was an excellent; well organized and reasonably priced, and driving and parking looked like such a nightmare that I doubt a cab would have taken me anywhere near the entrance.

Rarely does a big city have a place so close for kayaking on fast waters, but also for relaxed paddling, motorboat rides and enjoying the natural beauty of the canyon. Or just come here and enjoy the view with a coffee.

Lake Matka is an artificial lake created by construction of dam in North Macedonia. It's a popular outdoor destinations that exists within the beautiful Matka Canyon. There is a walking trail around the lake, which is very scenic. We took a boat ride in the lake which was very enjoyable.

We visited the lovely Matka canyon/dam/lake via a road trop to Ohrid and Tirana, we must say arriving early (on a weekday) has its advantages there was no crowds, for an hour we had the place to ourselves. It was so peaceful and tranquil, with amazing views, many piccies to be had, definitely worth a visit, as a day trip or on the way, to Ohrid.

Nice place for a weekend. Kayak rental, restaurant, parking. And the main thing here is gorgeous scenery and nature. There is everything you need to have a great time. Not far from Skopje. It is better to come by car.

A very nice place where to escape from that heat in Skopje. The distance is not far and the place is nice. On the way, there are many local stores, restaurants, and vendors that are offering some fresh juices or food. The boat ride is worthy trying as well. Thank you🤩

I was in there 19th of December around at 16:00 o’clock during the winter time it was almost empty and little bit scary for me because l was alone and the weather is getting darker. End of the stairs there is a small restaurant which has a lake view and good spot for photos. Price is little bit higher comparing the other restaurants.

Try to get a simple white rum and Coke on the hotel terrace. Nearly impossible. No cocktails on the list but based on the rum order I wouldn't dare to order one here.

Excellent location at the Stone Bridge with a great view of the statues and fountains. Whilst dining or drinking here you can see the Warrior Statue, the Millennium Cross and the Kale Fortress. On a warm summer’s evening there is a lovely breeze. Afterwards you are less than 2 minutes walk to the Skopje Old Town Bazaar. My chicken meal with broccoli, carrots & potato was lovely.

Excellent hotel. Great location, amaizing breakfast. Very clean and comfort bed.

Great location, close to the main objectives in the city. Clean and well maintained rooms, friendly staff. Great experience overall.

In the center of the Capital Skopje at the stone bridge with a beautiful view of the Vardar River and Macedonia Square.

The stuff was friendly but that was it. The food was terrible and we waited too long.

Should just be a 3 stars hotel rather than a so-called 5 stars hotel! Everything seems old and out-dated. There was no air-conditioning in the room. The room was stuffy. I opened the window but it was very noisy owing to people activity in the square outside. Some of the lamps in the room were not working. The shower room door was broken. There was no electric kettle and coffee or tea in the room. The room was small and there was not enough room to open my 2 luggages and placed them flat on the floor without hindering the walk way in the room. The breakfast is just so-so. Except the good location, I would not recommend this hotel.

The Mother Teresa Memorial House in Skopje was a deeply moving and inspiring place to visit. From the moment I arrived, I was touched by the peaceful atmosphere and the way the building beautifully honored her life and legacy. The architecture itself was striking, blending modern design with a sense of reverence that made the visit feel very special. Inside, I loved exploring the exhibits that showcased her journey, from her early life in Skopje to her incredible humanitarian work around the world. The personal items, photographs, and stories gave me a profound appreciation of her compassion and dedication. Visiting the Mother Teresa House was not only memorable but also uplifting—a true highlight of my time in Skopje.

A beautiful and inspiring place to visit in Skopje! The Mother Teresa Memorial House is free to enter and filled with information, photos, and exhibits about her life and work. It’s very well organized and peaceful, making it easy to learn about her incredible story. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, culture, or just looking for a meaningful stop while exploring the city.

The house of Mother Teresa is a must visit place when you come to Skopje! It’s small and free entrance. There’s a souvenir shop at the first floor and exhibition hall at the second floor. At the third floor, a serene church is there! The entire visiting time is around 10-20 min!

Nice presentation of her life story both in Macedonia, Ireland and finally India. Her being awarded the Noble Peace Prize. Of her canonisation to her passing. On the way to the small chapel there are photos showing the many famous people she had met from the Reagans to Queen Elizabeth II.

Tribute to one of the biggest woman of 20th century. Who would say she was born in Skopje (of course Wikipedia..)… very nice small house, visit wont take long but gives you the basics about her life you should know. Entrance free, donations possible.

I found out many interesting details about Mother Theresa, especially details related to her early life and prior becoming a missionary, by visiting this memorial house. The entrance is free of charge.

Stepping into the Mother Teresa Memorial, you're immediately struck by its simplicity. It's an ordinary place, yet deeply solemn and humble, radiating the very essence of where love was born, nurtured, and spread across the globe by open and generous hearts.

This could be so much more of a tourist attraction for Skopje, but has been left to fall into disrepair and has no facilities anymore. Having said that the views are still worth the climb up! Even before you enter there is a great view of the stadium from the car park. Inside just head for the wall on the right and follow to the highest point overlooking the city and river. Here you can see all the sights from an elevated perspective and hopefully benefit from a cooling breeze too!

One of the landmarks of the city, not greatly maintained. Offers old walls and amazing views but real pitty there is not even a small exhibition or tables that would tell you a bit more about its history and importance. Nice for a Saturday sunny walk but guess not more. Free entrance.

This fortress, also called Kale, sits atop a hill and offers the best panoramic views of the city and the river. Entry is free, which is great. The walls are of Byzantine origin (6th century) and were expanded by the Ottomans. You can walk along large parts of the walls, which makes for incredible photos. The terrain inside is a bit uneven, so it's good to wear comfortable shoes. It's well worth it for the view and the history.

It is located in a very beautiful spot that makes it visible from the whole city. You can walk on the walls of the fortress. However, inside the fortress you encounter an image of abandonment, the area is quite unkempt, with large grass everywhere and wild trees that have grown in every corner. Several of the wooden structures that exist for pedestrians are rotten, there are some modern buildings inside the fortress that we were informed that they were used as exhibition spaces but are now abandoned and in poor condition. The view of the city is wonderful, panoramic and unobstructed. I recommend a visit to the spot just for the walk on the walls and the wonderful view.

well let me just start with the fortress: nice ancient walls are great for an afternoon stroll…the upkeep is quite poor but hey, I still liked my visit. beautiful views of the city and its architecture and attractions. on the other hand, we have the so called security team who let you in at the entrance… p e r v central station. run!

Beautiful fortress , just few mins walk away from Old Town. some of the area not maintained and lots of rubbish. Hope they can improve the maintanance. Overall a great visit if you in Skopje.

Old fortress not looked after, overgrowth in many areas. Not open 24/7 but entry is free when open. Good views

Currently closed so only able to ascend to the foot of the cross and not go inside. Area around is in need of some TLC, as there are limited facilities, a good deal of rubbish scattered on the mountainside and just portaloos if you need the toilet. Having said that the view is amazing on all sides and the ride up in the cable car is quick and great value (100MKD per person) so if you have a spare hour or two it's worth a visit.

Impressive structure. Great view. There is food and drnk at the top. The tram ride up is great (windows could have been cleaner).

Cool place with nice views. It's missing some toilets and maybe some lovelier cafes/restaurants. Still, definitely worth visiting for the views but also to see the HUGE cross close-up.

You will need to use Cable Car to reach the top easily. It costs only 100 MKD (nearly 2 euros) for two way. There are options to hike but might take a lot of time. Be aware of the timing of Cable Car. Runs only every 30 mins. The top requires around 15-20 mins to visit unless you wanna hang out and enjoy the view for longer time.

Nice to go up with the cable car and magnificent view! Unfortunately the lift in the cross is broken down, and the place is empty and rundown. You can get something to drink but no more than that.

I hiked all the way from the city center via "Dimitar" trail. The view of the city and the hike itself is very nice. The route is just not maintained very well and the different trails are hard to find since the signs are very rare or even destroyed. All in all nice if you want to leave the crowded city for some hours.

The cablecar is not working, so I chose to walk to the Millennium Cross. I started from near the central bus terminal. Walked to near Hotel Panoramika Design & Spa & I saw other trekkers, so I just followed them. After reaching Mid Vodno, go up the steps next to Zelenika beer garden. A nice but difficult mountain trek. It took me totally 2 hours, & it’s rewarding. Cable car provides nice views but trekking is an experience & challenge.

Nice mountain views but not all is beautiful, garbare is all around and as someone who is not used to that I was shocked how city of Skopje does not take care of that in a spot where you should be one with nature. Also in winter time no restaurant or bar inside.

Incredible natural beauty to admire and great access via trails or the cable car, however the summit is in need of some attention. We used the cable car to ascend to the summit and this was excellent. A modern well maintained system which is excellent value at 100MKD per person return. Others were walking or cycling on what looked to be very good paths and trails. There was even a downhill mountain bike course with start ramp at the top. It's just a shame that the facilities under the cross are all closed and rubbish is scattered around. Toilets too are just a cluster of dirty portaloos. Perhaps once the work on the new tower is complete they will sort these issues.

We travel this mountain but we to late for this attemp its because for cable car was closed and we cant saw the millenium cross. you should dont forget its same for rainy days and monday these days cable car did not work and i only saw this landscape and take night landscape pictures and advice you must be travel this vodno mountain when you come as skopje

Super place to see the city skyline. Next to the cross is now a tower under construction. The train up and back 100 MKD (around 1.6€) The mountain itself can be easily reached by bus number 25. A good place to go out on a sunny day without smog.

Very nice place to connect with nature and see the whole city of Skopje from on top of the hill.

Vodno Mountain is a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of Skopje. The trails and paths offer beautiful views of the city, the surrounding hills, and nature at its best. Whether you’re hiking, biking, or just taking a peaceful walk, Vodno provides a refreshing break and a chance to enjoy fresh air and greenery. The area is generally well-maintained, with marked trails and spots where you can rest or take in the scenery. The view from the top, especially near the Millennium Cross, is breathtaking and definitely worth the effort to reach it. It’s a perfect spot for photography, picnics, or simply enjoying a quiet moment away from the city. However, some parts of Vodno could use more care. Certain trails have litter, some benches or resting areas are worn out, and signage could be improved for better guidance. Despite these small issues, Vodno remains one of the most accessible and enjoyable natural areas near Skopje. Overall, it’s a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. With a bit more attention to maintenance, it could be an even more inviting and enjoyable place for everyone.

Vodno, near Skopje, offers stunning panoramic views and is ideal for hiking and outdoor adventures. A perfect destination for a relaxing excursion or an active day in nature.

I was rather surprised that such a big building in a prominent location was so restricted inside. Maybe all the other rooms are for staff and conservation? There were staircases to the second floor (in UK speak) that were roped off, maybe there would have been more up there? I read everything in a museum and it took me 50 minutes. Presentation is in bullet points: object, location, era. If somebody entered not knowing the basics of classical to Byzantine to Ottoman, they would still not know, except rough guesses of the centuries. Very little narration, particularly about everyday life and society. A hard to find basement includes waxworks of historical figures, with labels at their feet or even behind them. This floor was uncanny and I had to check I hadn't just walked into storage. Three stars for the actual quality of the artefacts.

Nice, entry it's 400 dinar. Pretty much expensive for this small museum. Eventing it's clean and nice and well readable. Also Accessible The price in the website absolutely not updated. It seems to have been recently renovated.

Amazing museum with a rich collection of artifacts! Well-organized exhibits, beautiful building, and a perfect location in the heart of Skopje. A must-visit for history lovers and tourists. Highly recommended!

The facade of this museum is one of the most grandiose sights in the city. Built in 2014, the building has an ancient-style architecture, with massive columns and an appearance that truly impresses. It is located on the riverbank, and the Bridge of Civilizations leads directly to its entrance. Even without going inside, the external architecture is imposing and makes for spectacular photos, especially at night when it is fully illuminated and reflects on the water.

From the outside it's bombastic, but once inside houses a lovely set up little museum. The presentation of the displays is really appealing. Also, massive plus: there are some plaques with braille and pictures of the most important pieces with raised edges, so visually impared people can also experience them. I'm guessing the braille is in Macedonian, but still! More accessability than most places!

I want give 5 stars if I think about collections does this museum present ....is absolutely brilliant 💎 and staff in ticket office is friendly and helpful with any problem / But why you have two different prices for tickets to entrance ( 200 mkd for Macedonians and 400mkd for tourists ) .... how is possible take benefits from EU for rebuilds historical sites in Macedonia ( this money is from taxes people who living in EU ) ....but after from this people want more money for ticket / I see this practice in countries out of Europe

Fabulous! So much history over 4 floors. 10-12 centuries of items from glass vases to grave stones, all found in Northern Macedonia. I spent hours here and the wax figure of a lady wearing a glowing dress with shells as buttons I enjoyed the most!

Crossing this pedestrian bridge is like walking through an open-air art gallery. It is entirely dedicated to honoring the national culture, lined with dozens of bronze statues depicting the country's important artists, musicians, writers, and painters. Besides the statues, the bridge itself has a beautiful design, with classic, ornate lampposts that make for a very pleasant stroll, especially at dusk as the lights turn on over the river.

a lovely bridge spanning the Vardar River, literally covered in statue and lamps.

Next to the main square , lovely bridge.

Impressive bridge over the river Vardar. The Bridge of Art is fairly new, and one of the best to cross the river Vardar from east to west. You will enjoy the bridge if you like art and sculpture as there are a number of bronze statues which were sculpted to commemorate noted artists and musicians from Macedonian history such as Lazar Lichenoski and Alexander Shopov. Of the many bridges in the area the Bridge of Art is worth the walk across and see the great artists. Highly recommend.

This certainly is a city which loves statues and this bridge definitely highlights that! It’s seriously impressive though and really beautiful, being in my mind the best point to cross the river at. Surrounded by other grand buildings its worth taking a walk to and admire and a true landmark in the city.

The Art Bridge is not as famous as its nearest neighbor, but it tries just as hard to impress. Several statues adorn the footpath, but their focus is not on old history. Less people come to visit this bridge, but it's worth the extra steps that you will take to get here.

Beautiful place, full of interesting sculptures. In the background you can see the archeological museum, the river and a pirate ship! Very nice walk.

This is a great place to understand part of the history of the great Macedonia. The ticket is around 5 or 8 euros. There's access to bathrooms. It's amazing to see the realistic of the wax figures, the flags, the attires,etc. There are original parts of the wars as well (war cars, cameras, helmets, paper letters, Utensils, maps and so on). It's definitely a place to visit.

The atmosphere of the museum was wonderful. If you’re interested in different cultures, this is definitely a place worth visiting. It features wax figures and historical information. I spent about two hours exploring the entire museum from start to finish, and it was absolutely worth it. At the entrance, they mentioned a student discount in the summer of 2025, the student ticket was around 120 denars. If you’re in the area and looking for a place to explore, I highly recommend it.

I don’t often write reviews, but I have to make sense of one of the strangest museum experiences I’ve ever had. Starting with some history, this museum was built as part of the controversial 2014 project, which many Macedonians described to me as a nationalist project by a conservative government seeking to put their parties mark on the city after their rejection from NATO due to the naming dispute with Greece. Many reviews describe this place as a Madame Tussaud’s of Macedonian revolutionaries, that is true and lends the place an eerie feeling, as many of the figures are only denoted with very brief plaques that seem to assume the visitor already has a decent knowledge of Macedonian history. The only actual antiques to be found are an extensive and very interesting collection of various guns, weapons, and artillery, along with many historical documents that are often not translated into English. Otherwise, the huge halls covered with massive mythologizing paintings feel reminiscent of a certain Soviet bravado, made more curious by the fact that nearly every painting I could find with a date was created in 2012. Generally the dates of the paintings are not clearly displayed, which feels like a very purposeful emission. I don’t know how to quantify this experience in a number of stars but overall I would say it is a place worth visiting not necessarily for the history but for watching an exercise in a nation-building “antiquisation”. If you’re only here for a couple days, you can skip it.

This is not a museum, but a truly unique experience. The organizer of this place really deserves a huge thank you because they have conveyed the history of Macedonia in a very striking and memorable way. It is one of the must-see places when visiting Skopje.

Really informative museum about the struggles of the Macedonian people in their fight to establish their country and protect their culture and language. I recommend everyone visiting Macedonia visit this museum to understand this important history. The museum is well set up and easy to follow around. Do give yourself at the least 2 hours.

Loved this museum! It leads you through the Macedonian fight for independence during 19 and 20 century. Amazing exhibition with lots of wax figures and interesting facts. A must see.

A museum worth visiting if you are in town to learn about the history of Macedonia. But not every infos are in English, and some don’t even have infos

The Fountain Olympia, also known as the Fountain of the mothers of Macedonia, is a prominent landmark in Skopje, located nearby the Old Stone Bridge. The fountain features sculptures representing various stages of motherhood, including a status of Olympias, the mother of Alexander the Great. Statues of women with children surrounds the fountain, symbolising the nurturing aspects of motherhood. The fountain’s Designs include floral motifs and sculptures of the Macedonian phalanx army, horses and lions, reflecting Macedonia’s rich history. The Fountain Olympia serves as a tribute to the mothers of Macedonia, and is a popular spot for both locals and tourists. Good experience to be here.

Amazing storytelling and such an interesting story behind this statue and the conflict between Macedonia and Greece. After some reading I learned the following on Alexander’s mother: The “Fountain Olympia – Mother of Alexander III of Macedonia” refers to a historical figure, Olympias, rather than a specific fountain. Olympias was the mother of Alexander the Great, also known as Alexander III of Macedonia. Her life and role in history are significant, particularly due to her influence in Alexander’s rise to power and the shaping of his ambitions

BANG! Another fantastic fountain located in the centre of Macedonia’s capital city. That’s one thing that’s guaranteed in this wonderful city, a beautiful fountain. What I like about fountains, other than the sound of running water, the beautiful architecture and often the historical symbols it’s built for, is what they represent. Running water is symbolic in many cultures for renewal and cleansing and when I see a fountain, personally, I like to take that time to reflect on what do I need to let go of. What baggage am I holding? (Emotional and physical… 10kg travel limit means culling is often a necessity). Anyway if you visit this fountain maybe adopt that kind of thinking and see what journey it takes you on. Only if you want to of course! No pressure!

This ornate fountain is a tribute to Alexander the Great's Mother, this is one of many monuments to visit in the city.

Beautiful fountain. So unusual to anything I have seen . Many more fountains & statues in the surrounding area . Pictures don't really do it justice , nice to visit late afternoon

I love fountains and I have seem so many beautiful ones across Europe but this one was really special- one that shows the different stages a woman goes through from pregnancy to playing with a small child. Being a mother of a 1 year old son, this fountain has my heart ❤️

The Mothers of Macedonia, town of Skopje please maintain your touristic sites. It is not too hard to keep the water clean.

I read and watched every display. Very moving and well done. If you aren’t going to take the time to appreciate the heritage and struggle of the Jewish people in Macedonia, don’t waste your money. However; if you have an afternoon to spend and the curiosity, you will be rewarded.

I was surprised to find out that Skopje has a Holocaust memorial center. It is a well organized museum but was expecting more information about the Holocaust in North Macedonia and other former Yugoslav territories after Germany occupied Yugoslavia in 1941 and less general information about Holocaust and Jewish community.

Certainly one of the best holocaust museum I have been to. Comprehensive history and immersive experience. Great to reflect on this sad part of history in Skopje

There were 3, 300 Jewish Northern Macedonians before the second world war. Afterward there were 300, most being sent to Treblinka and murdered. This Holocaust museum provides videos and documentary about the experience. There are also recollections of individual partisans who fought during World War II and recreations of cattle cars in which people were shipped to concentration camps. This museum also provides a history of Jewish peoples in Northern Macedonia through Time. Highly recommended! No photos.

Nice exhibition of the history of the Hebrew people. The section dedicated to the Holocaust is touching and documents the horror and the misary suffered by Jewish during the period

A reminder to humanity from darkest chapter of history, the museum capture with understandable sensitivity and broad vision the travails and sufferings of bold Jewish people. I was moved by some of the stories presented in the Museum.

Very nice museum. Mainly goes over an important and somewhat overlooked narrative - the story of the Sephardic Jews and the Jews of the Balkans and Europe - and not just randomly displays things.

Had a chance doing our prayer in this beautiful old mosque. The ablution is outside. The mosque is not that big. It's built in 1492 during ottoman empire. The mosque is largely intact from its original state and no additions have been made. It has 2 floors with narrow stairs where the second floor is for women prayer hall. However, if no crowd, the women can pray at 1st floor at the women prayer hall area.

Beautiful mosque to spiritually relax and do praying of afternoon while exploring the old town.

beautiful mosque which you can visit as a tourist so long as you are respectful and cover up. nice gardens as well. sometimes I like to think of a different life wherest I am but a small kitten, running around the gardens in a mosque, with no thoughts of particular importance, feeling the grace of god sustaining me day after day…just shower thoughts I guess

Well worth the hike up the hill. See Skopje Fortress while you are up here. Nice garden to sit in before or after.

This old Turkish mosque is in the centre of Skopje old mmarket which reminds me of old Turkish shopping and eatery districts. It is a small and pretty mosque. You may enjoy shopping and eating traditional food around.

Very nice mosque with Ottoman style architecture. Would recommend visiting after prayer times.

The imposant object of Ottoman architecture. It's a tourist friendly place. It's a soul calming place, and it has a very beautiful yard and amazing view on the Old Bazaar. The entrance is free.
