Top 49 things to do and attractions in Skopje

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.

A must-see if you’re visiting Skopje. Unfortunately the bus timetables are very reliable and the buses don’t seem to follow it, and taxis will haggle you aggressively while you are walking out or waiting for the bus. When you leave, make sure you walk further out to reach the bus stop. The trail itself is beautiful. It takes you along the water, and you get amazing views of the Canyon. Unfortunately at the end the trail ends abruptly, though opposite the cave you can’t see anything. Nonetheless the views are worth it! Even better if you can rent a kayak or take a boat.

It’s a must be there place when the temperatures are high. You can either take a boat, pedal boats, kayak or jump and dive from the rocks like all the locals. Make sure you go where the locals go to be safe when jumping into the water. So crystal clean and refreshing artificial lake. It has been built for the Dam that produce free energy for Skopje. By the side to the Dam you could see an opening where the soldiers camp to protected the Dam during the II World War as it has been a target to be destroyed which has never happened. The Cave is such a nice and cold stop with a fresh air, nature shaped walls and lake inside. Many of this cave is still not discovered as some places are very narrow. Very high steps leading to the cave, slippery surface and rails inside due to the nature of this place and some small uneven stones, so make sure you do not fall while admiring the cave. And use a torch 🔦 to see where you going while your eyes get used to the darkness. Not recommended for elderly or unfit people. I nearly made it 😂 (Only shows how unfit I am at the moment). However the boat trip is for everyone who loves being by the water. And after you can enjoy a drink or food at a local restaurant that serve fantastic food.

The Matka Canyon is so beautiful. We went there with a tour (we got the tour from getyourguide website and we left the tour with pleasant memories) the weather unfortunately wasn't sunny but even with this kind of weather, the view was amazing. The boat trip was fun.

Very enjoyable trail, only 30 minutes by car from Skopje..we chose the st. Nikola trail…quite easy for us, it brings you to a church where you can also do a picnic, then you can continue after the church, going down and rescue a point where a boat will come and pick you up to go on the other part o the lake…to call the boat, you need to ‘ring a bell’ which is actually just a piece of wood and a piece of metal. The ride (just a couple of minutes) was free of charge but we left some money to the driver of course …we loved it there! Very much advised for some hours of hike in the nature

Great place to visit in Macedonia. You can do a boat tour that brings you to a cave, get inside and visit it. There is also a path to walk around the canyon but I recommend the boat.

wonderful place for chill-out, picnic, hiking, outdoor activities... didn't walk the entire trail, we went to the Cave with a boat. Yhe cave is astonishing and well preserved (a bit slippery, but worth the trip!)

One of the natural highlights in North Macedonia. The canyon is beautifully located close to Skopje. It is, however, quite busy and touristical. Don't expect to be alone: come early to have a good parking spot. Don't drive to the furthesr parking spots because the street will get very narrow and difficult to drive because of all pedestrians. There are some restaurants and there are also rental companies for kayaks. You can also walk next to the canyon.

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.

Sad some "idiots" build something right next to the cross (comm tower) which kinda destroys the vibe. To get the best view of Skopje, take a right down a path next to the cable car building, which gives a great view of Skopje . But also go behind the cross, where u can find some platforms overlooking a beautiful valley

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

A fairly nice park that runs along the Vardar river. There’s soccer and tennis courts. Some cafes, mobile coffee, smoothies and juice spots throughout the park. There’s a pond, some exercise equipment and closed off areas for dogs. Much cleaner air than in the city due to all the trees and location. It’s fairly large, plenty of places to hang out. In the main area they often have events, especially for children.

The city park is located behind the zoo. The large park has many channels of water with waterfowl and turtles. There are many bridges, benches, shelters and drinking fountains. Children can play on the playgrounds and there is a workout ground. Great park for walking, jogging, biking or just enjoying the scenery.

Such a tranquil place. It is so refreshing to taking something to eat/drink, find somewhere to sit under a shade and enjoy the nature and the lovely silence. Also, great place for walking or cycling

Although I don't have pictures, I can say this place is quite amazing. Seeing children riding bikes alone, seeing youths playing tennis, and enjoying solitude and quietness is a green flag park. The trees, the food cars, and the green of the park, makes it a great place to visit in a weekend or just for fun.

Peace, nature, beauty and lovely place. Offers coffee and refreshments nearby. Lake view. Pick nick allowed. Bikes and dogs too.

Nice place for a walk and relaxation in Skopje. 80% of the park is in the shade, because there are many trees and greenery. During hot weekends there are always crowds. If you visit on a weekday when there are fewer people, you can also see squirrels around the trees. There are plenty of benches to sit on, but when it's the weekend, it's hard to find a free bench. The park is beautiful in every season. There are running tracks, a dog park, props for children, and there are also summer discos. There are many stands for coffee, donuts, popcorn and other things. The downside of the park is that the trash cans fill up quickly and trash is not picked up quickly. More trash cans should be installed or cleaned more often. There is a free parking lot near the park, which is the site of the former car range, on the other side of the Vardar River.

It's nice, there's a playground for kids, some sculptures, green maze, dog run, small pool with ducks and turtles, trucks with coffee or/and fresh juice - even tennis courts and carousel... the park is divided in 2 parts - one is more "wild", it's more green and has water channels with cute bridges over them. But there's also less people and no trucks with drinks. There is only one thing I don't like in here - garbage everywhere... but if you don't mind it, just grab a blanket, get a book and a smoothie and find yourself some nice spot in there.

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!

Interesting place for a wander. Went to learn about the earthquake, but much more there. A few amazing Neolithic pieces, some traditional costumes frescos copies. A little of everything.

Really liked this museum. Small exhibitions but good for getting in touch with the city. Not overcrowded. Free entrance. Located in the old railway building that was half destroyed by the 1963 earthquake.

The museum definitely feels lackluster, but the admission is free and there's English explanation for most exhibits, which makes up for it. The building itself is a former railway station that was partly destroyed during Skopje's 1963 earthquake. I loved that they left the partly destroyed part as it is, showing the destruction of the earthquake as it is. Which matches with the main theme of the museum, showcasing the history of Skopje before and after the earthquake. The museum also has another section showing some archeological items, but doesn't provide much explanations. Most of the building is still under renovation so only a small part of it is accessible.

There is 9.12 Saturday. Museum should be open but it isn't. None information on site about that. There is only a notice that museum is close at 3 pm, which is also against mormal time schedule and information here.

A free museum dedicated to Skopje’s history. Despite being free, it is far more interesting than the paid museums in the city, with the exception of the one dedicated to Macedonian Independence. A must visit if you are in the city, as the building itself which was damaged during the earthquake and the surrounding area too deserves a visit!

The museum is small and simple, with free entrance. It has a few interesting pieces such as an chessboard and some traditional costumes. You can easily visit it in less than an hour — a nice short stop if you’re exploring the city. 🎨🏛️

Free entrance. Worth to visit, interesting facts and artifacts about the city of Skopje

Interesting aquaduct of which you unfortunately won’t hear from almost anyone. The place is falling apart and is surrounded by trash and waste. You can drive up to it with a car, saddest part is that they don’t value this unique construction and don’t really know if it was built during Roman, Byzantine or Ottoman era. Worth the visit to this hidden gem, hopefully the city will wake up and try to preserve and protect it so it’s not covered by graffiti and human waste

It is an amazing piece of Roman architecture that still stands the test of time and nature. It is located in the middle of a landfill, and the flies can get annoying. If you are coming from the city center, you have to take two buses and then walk in the middle of the landfill to get there. If you like ancient and Roman ruins, it is definitely worth seeing.

It’s a quite deserted & neglected, but a great piece of architecture. The Aqueduct is sturdy & strong & quite long, it’s said to be from the Roman era, parts of it is under maintenance. To get there by public bus, take #9 or #19 from the centre, get off near to the Point Retail park shopping centre, then walk 25 minutes, partly on dirt road.

I was surprised by how majestic and stable it was. The whole building seems more like in bizantine style, which make it even more unique. Besides fantastic views the area around it is a literal garbage dump for locals. It stinks out there.

A beautiful historic monument and a great spot to escape the city’s smog and chaos. Sadly, as in most developing countries, the charm quickly fades once you notice the beer bottles, plastic bags, and random rubbish scattered everywhere. It’s almost impressive how people manage to litter in the most scenic places. Indian and Bangladeshi tourists will probably feel right at home — a true touch of authenticity!

This would be a great place to visit but it is horribly neglected. There are heaps of garbage. There are some shacks built leaning into the aqueduct. Not only does it not look nice, it doesn't feel safe either. The road there is also in a very poor state. It's unpaved and very narrow. Such a shame.

Very fascinating! Part of it has been reconstructed, but most is untouched. It's nice to see how it used to be and what is left. It's a short drive from the center and even our taxi driver had never visited it but if you like this sort of things, I completely recommend.

The only problem is, I took the help of Google Maps, I walked through somewhere nowhere, I found nothing, turned back and went around someplace, somehow I find the building. There is no sign of the museum. Inside of it is great, it has such a wonderful view. There are different exhibitions going on at the same time. It was nice.

Checked online that museum was open. Then it wasn't, but the lady let us in because she acknowledged the website said it was. The ground floor was dedicated to architectural drawings, and the upper floor was being prepared for another exhibition, so the highlight of our visit was a chewed pencil on a white plinth. Go to the national gallery instead, much more to see and in a great building (although sadly smelled strongly of cigarettes throughout).

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Skopje is situated on a hill near the city’s medieval fortress, offering panoramic views of Skopje from all directions—including the east, west, and the south-facing Vodno Mountain. This modernist landmark was built following the 1963 earthquake as part of the city’s architectural revival and stands today as a symbol of Skopje’s modern identity. Designed by prominent architects, the museum features a clean, elegant design, abundant natural light from both its sides and rooftop, and a thoughtful integration with the surrounding landscape. The museum regularly hosts a range of cultural events, from contemporary art exhibitions to musical and community gatherings. Most recently, it was the venue for the charter celebration of the newest Rotary Club in the city—Rotary Club Skopje Kamen Most.

Amazing space from the architectural point of view. Unfortunately not all the floors were open but the exhibition that I managed to see was worth it. Very low price (around 1-2€) for a great museum. The staff is very polite and helpful. Great panorama view of the city.

Interesting architecture with a very quiet atmosphere. Great place to visit with interesting artworks exhibitions and film. Costs about 2 euros to see. The atmosphere is great and you might find yourself sitting down lost in thought. I think it was gifted by the Polish government from what I read. But overall 10/10 and a great place to be when visiting Skopje.

Very strange experience. Google Maps showed it as an abandoned walkway, but when we got there, I had to buy a ticket even though there was basically nothing to see. We even had to ask to be let outside to view the only exhibition/installation they had. Overall, very random — and even the bathrooms didn’t have toilet paper.

Another disappointment on a sunny Saturday - museum closed without any warning online and without any sign in person. Only a guard who opens his window and tells you… what a shame…

We came here on a rainy day during prom season at 1pm. Whole restaurant empty with only one table occupied. We come in and I see the owner in his natural habitat on one of the tables closely observing everything. We ask for a table and the server says they have a prom celebration at 8pm. We politely say we are not trying to spend 7 hours at the restaurant. The owner says they can give us a table. So we got sat right next to the other table, cramped into a small area where the servers had barely room to move. Food was great but our server forgot multiple items and drinks, then my mom found hair in two of her dishes, so save to say their quality was not on an acceptable level. The server was very apologetic. Then as we are seating there, we noticed their roof is leaking into our food. Absolutely unacceptable. We told the server and he said there is nothing he can do. We just did not get a positive experience at all.

Had a lovely dinner here!! The service was great just like the atmosphere. I personally loved the pork suflaki. My boyfriend had the chicken suflaki which was a little dry in my opinion. The tsatsiki was also great, but lacked a little bit of garlic for my liking. The live music was so fun and our waiter was a great guy! The food came out pretty fast and the prices were great. I would recommend checking out this place!

Solid 4 stars! I went in with no reservations and no expectations and the food was great, the service was speedy, atmosphere also good. No complaints from me, its worth a try if the other restaurants are full.

If one excludes the wonderful musicians who play and sing, everything else, the food and service are at very mediocre levels. Its location is very good, but it is a vast thing that does not create the warmth and atmosphere you want in such a store. The waiter who had taken care of us was willing and polite, however, from what we saw, the rest of the staff did not pay any attention to you. I would recommend it only for its music

The food is far below Balkan standards and expectations, especially when it comes to portion size. Almost every dish felt over-torched, and the servings were extremely small. To make things worse, there was no bread provided — without any notice. When comparing the overall quality to the prices, the balance is highly unfevorable.

Cannot recommend. We were welcomed in a friendly and cheerful manner. Drink order were taken very quickly. Then, the waiting began. ​The drinks took a very long time. Instead of draught beer, we only got bottled beer after a long wait time. The wait time for the food was enormous, and the food itself was cold when it finally arrived. Additionally, two of our orders were missing. ​ ​

The food here is excellent, especially the pork ribs and baked beans. The atmosphere is nice, with live traditional music to accompany your meal. It's worth a visit if you're in Skopje.

The stone bridge on the river Vardar connects Macedonia Square on the right bank and the Old Skopje Bazaar on the left bank of the river. There are two different opinions about its existence. According to the first, it was built in the 6th century, shortly after the catastrophic earthquake in 518, during the reign of Emperor Justinian I. Others believe that the bridge was built in the second half of the fifteenth century, between 1451 and 1469, the time when the Ottoman empire was ruled by the Sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror. The bridge is built of travertine stone blocks bound with iron hooks and fastened with cast lead and crushed stone and mortar. In its original appearance it contained 13 semicircular arches, it had a length of 213.85 m (329 steps) and a width of 6.33 m. Today, the bridge is accessible only for pedestrians, but historically it was also used for traffic. It was named "Stone Bridge" because it was built using crushed stone. In addition, the bridge is historically also known as the Dushan Bridge, in honor of the Serbian king Dusan. Stone Bridge is considered a symbol of the city of Skopje. Stone Bridge is presented as an integral element on the coat of arms of the city. Alhamdulillah for the opportunity to have arrived here.

The Stone Bridge in Skopje, often hailed as the city’s iconic landmark, is a disappointing and frustrating experience that fails to live up to its historical significance. Spanning the Vardar River and connecting Macedonia Square to the Old Bazaar, this 15th-century Ottoman structure is undeniably striking with its 13 arches and solid stonework. However, any appreciation for its architecture is quickly overshadowed by the appalling conditions surrounding it. The bridge is plagued by an overwhelming number of insects, to the point where crossing feels like a battle. Visitors practically need to cover their faces entirely to avoid being swarmed, making what should be a leisurely stroll a deeply uncomfortable ordeal. The sheer volume of bugs is not only irritating but also raises questions about the lack of basic maintenance or pest control in such a central location. Worse still is the aggressive begging that dominates the experience. Groups of individuals, often described as gypsies, don’t just ask for money—they practically extort it, creating an intimidating atmosphere that makes crossing the bridge feel unsafe and stressful. Their persistence is relentless, and it’s shocking that such behavior is allowed to persist in Skopje’s most prominent public space. The apparent absence of police or municipal intervention is nothing short of absurd, reflecting a broader neglect of public order in the city. It’s as if the authorities have completely abandoned any effort to maintain a welcoming environment for visitors and locals alike. While the bridge’s historical and architectural value could make it a highlight of Skopje, the reality is a chaotic mess. The combination of swarming insects and aggressive begging, coupled with the authorities’ inaction, turns this landmark into a frustrating symbol of the city’s dysfunction. Visiting the Stone Bridge feels like navigating a gauntlet rather than enjoying a historic site.

This bridge is the city's most iconic symbol, connecting Macedonia Square to the Old Bazaar over the river. Its original construction dates back to the 15th century, during the time of Sultan Mehmed II. With its 13 stone arches, it has withstood wars and natural disasters. It is a pedestrian-only thoroughfare and offers fantastic views of the new buildings and other bridges along the river. It's impossible to visit the city and not cross it several times.

I asked for the club Sandwich. As on the publicity it looks amazing. But in real life. See the photos yourself and judge. Waited almost 45 min to get the food, which arrived cold. Manager too afraid to face us. First he offered a ball of ice cream we said no. Then he said he would remove the dish completely. 10mins past and he said its not possible to remove anything. So he charged us full price on everything. We were told that the publicity sign photos outside are just for advertising purposes. This is false advertising and a tourist trap. I am Diabetic and need to eat food on time.

A beautiful historic bridge connecting the old and new parts of Skopje. Walking across it gives stunning views of the Vardar River and the city’s vibrant squares. A must-see landmark that perfectly blends history and charm.

Its a beautiful bridge but has a bad urine smell near the exit on the north end of the bridge. Dont forget to look off the east side for the Divers sculpture.

This bridge is connecting two different parts of the city. Both sides are very interesting. Old and new buildings as well as different cultures you can discover in Skopje. The bridge is a central place to visit the town

So ornate. There are fabulous frescos all telling a biblical story plus single paintings on all the walls and ceiling. It was vey peaceful. A lovely church in the heart of Skopje to come to pray! 🙏

I visited the cathedral, and it was a truly beautiful experience. The ceiling is decorated with stunning artwork that gives the space a unique, special touch, and the exterior’s distinctive dome adds an impressive charm. Definitely a visit worth making. ✨🙏

Very unique & beautiful church. Not very familiar with the Orthodox Church but the church architecture really amazed me.

The main church of Skopje. Church built in the seventies, in the Yugoslavian years. Interesting frescoes. Worth to visit if you're interested in religion or history of arts..

Firstly the impressive and massive building i think when you step first time you problaby think what am i see this decorations, items are perfect you should go and travel this place.

Located right in the heart of Skopje, the Church of St. Clement of Ohrid stands out with its unique modern architecture and beautiful domes. Built between 1972 and 1990, it’s one of the largest Orthodox churches in North Macedonia. The interior is spacious, peaceful, and filled with soft light . Definitely worth a visit if you’re exploring the city.

Super architecture! The shape is so friendly and warming.

It would be difficult to overstate how excellent this tour is. I have been on many walking tours around the world, and this was one of the very best, in large part because our guide, Zoran, is a gifted teacher and leader. He's funny, personable, knowledgeable, with a knack for providing explanations that are concise and substantive: We were constantly engaged and never bored. Highly, highly recommended.

I did a city walking tour around the city with Dario! I loved his spirit and his passion for sharing the history about his country. He is always with a smile on his face, and makes you laugh a lot. There were some dogs that joined us during the tour and you could see that he truly cares for them because they never left him. It tells you a lot about how good of a human he is. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Our guide, Dino, was nothing short of amazing. He did an excellent job leading us through Skopje with professionalism and enthusiasm. Extremely knowledgeable, Dino knows exactly how to present information in an engaging and accessible way. Even though it was a long tour, I never felt bored or overwhelmed. You’ll be surprised how much you can learn about the country in such a short time. I highly recommend both Dino and this organization!

Amazing tour with Vasko. If you are unsure whether to do a walking tour in Skopje, I recommend to do it! A great experience for this trip. I know in some cities they might not be as good or engaging, but I’m glad I did it here. Thank you Vasko for your kindness, expertise, tips and good energy!

Truely one of the nicest free walking tours I have done so far (and I have done many!). It was a very good mix between historical facts, cultural input and engaging presentation. Our guide Dino - a true local - did a great job, I learned so many new facts and facettes about the city & country. Big thanks !

My partner and I did the free walking tour today in Skopje. Dino was our tour guide and he was fantastic. Very informative and passionate about the history of his country. I would highly recommend him

I highly recommend the Free Tour Skopje for history enthusiasts. The guide is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the city's captivating past. However, it's worth noting that the tour can be quite demanding as it lasts for approximately three hours. Nonetheless, the tour provides valuable insights into Skopje's rich history and cultural treasures. Don't miss it if you're up for an immersive and informative experience in Skopje.

An amazing place to walk around. There are cheap kayaks there that you can see, but it is more recommended to take a cruise in a large motorboat that is very cheap for half an hour. You can also walk around on foot, but I think it is unnecessary.

Had a chance to see Canyon Matka and Vrelo cave by boat and I highly recommend to not skip a visit when travelling to Skopje. Place itself with a unique flora and fauna offers stunning views. Unfortunately, I have also noticed that the place is quite polluted with litter

Canyon Matka, just outside Skopje, North Macedonia, is a genuinely beautiful spot that left a strong impression. The view from the canyon is stunning, with towering cliffs and lush greenery creating a dramatic and serene landscape. It’s a fantastic place for a relaxing visit, perfect for soaking in the natural beauty. The well-maintained trails and the dam’s walkway make it easy to explore and enjoy the scenery. There are a couple of cafes nearby for a quick coffee, adding to the laid-back vibe. It’s a great escape from the city, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it well worth the trip.

We appreciated the visit a lot, especially since the temperature is very high in the area in summer, the refreshing atmosphere and cold cave was nice to see. 7€ per person if you want to take a boat (with 20 other people), kayak were 200 dinar per person. A lot of cars, we paid 5€ to a restaurant to park our cars in a safe place. I recommend having nice pair of walking shoes and avoiding summer ones, since it is all going uphill. We highly not recommend the restaurant since I’ve heard that it is the only one in the area, « expensive » « not that good », they’re plenty restaurants in Skopje and in its periphery.

Matka is a canyon located fifteen kilometers southwest of Skopje. It covers an area of approximately 5,000 hectares and is one of the most popular recreational areas in North Macedonia. Lake Matka, located in the Matka Canyon, is the oldest artificial lake in the country. Ten caves can be found in the Matka Canyon. The most popular, Vrelo Cave, is located on the right bank of the Treska River and can only be reached by boat or kayak. Numerous stalactites can be seen in the cave, including a large stalactite in the center, known for its shape as "The Pinecone." At the end of the cave are two lakes. The smaller one is 8 meters long and 15 meters deep, while the larger one is 35 meters long and 15-18 meters deep. Matka Canyon is also a "reserve" for numerous plant and animal species, including some unique to this region. Near the marina is the Monastery of St. Andrew, but unfortunately, it is closed to visitors. I recommend a kayak or boat trip to the Vrelo Cave. Parking can be difficult on weekends, so it's best to start your trip early in the morning.

Taking a boat to visit the canyon over the water is a definite plus If you're into it, u can visit the Vrelo caves

"What a beautiful place to visit! Stunning and amazing atmosphere here. Winter brings heavy cold and wind, but I still had a great time."

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.

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.

Perfect fun time and spot. Our one-year-old enjoyed it, and we as well. Lots of greenery and break spots with benches and great view of different animals.

I didn’t expect such a nice zoo but it was over the my expectations. Unfortunately there is no giraffes but you can see elephant, tigers, lions and some of the birds there. The price is reasonable-maybe cheap- but there are something’s need to be revised.

A nice small scale Zoo in the middle of the city with a good basic selection. Its nice to walk in the green areas of the Zoo though tje cafe was closed during our visit(november) and some zoo members were behind closed doors. Some of them had not enough space ; especially the Hippo... please more space for this beauty. I believe it can be easily relocated somewhere there..

A nice day out for the family. Not as wide of a range of animals as in other zoos I've visited, but for only 80 Macedonian dinars per ticket (around £1.11), it was definitely worth the price.

first of all the entrance fee is really cheap. very cozy atmosphere. the animals truly seem happy here. watching them all fed one by one was a special highlight

Very nice and big ZOO. Tickets are very cheap, less than 1.5€ (80 denari), but not a lot of parking space in front of the Zoo, especially during weekends. Try to get parking in some of the parallel streets above the Zoo. It is very crowded during weekends and some animals are not in the best shape. Overall, a very positive experience, especially for children.

Its was very nice the staff was very nice and overall the place was very good and well kept and there were alot of animals and the tickets were very cheap i would recommend visiting if your in skopje

(Translated by Google) Historical Turkish bazaar (Original) Tarihi Türk çarşısı

Where Soul Kitchen shines is its atmosphere. It’s along the water in downtown with outdoor seating and a spacious indoor dining room that’s beautifully decorated. The food itself is average, but they have lots of variety to pick from. Reading the thick menu alone takes awhile. There are burgers, local dishes, dessert, so many options. I opted for the Mother Teresa, which was like chicken Kiev. The creamy sauce made the dish. Service is a little slow, but that’s not atypical.

Great atmosphere. Spacious place. Tasty food. Tourist friendly. Really nothing to add here. Only thing to be aware of is - smoking area and non-smoking area are not that separated and you can very much smell cigarette smoke in non-smoking area. If that doesn’t bother you as much - it’s a perfect place to have dinner. Prices are also good.

A very nice restaurant, Eddy who was our server was super friendly and kind. The food was fine and the prices were good. The ambiance was amazing. Overall, İ recommend this place.

The staff were very attentive, thank you so much. However, the kitchen staff clearly don’t know how to cook. I’ve never seen such a terrible lasagna in my life — how can anyone even serve that to a customer? The muscle meat was a complete disaster as well; it was so salty that it was impossible to eat. Unfortunately, this was my worst experience in Skopje. Many thanks to the waiters for offering a replacement — they were very helpful.

Food is amazing but what makes this memorable is that we've got really great service from Edin. Such a remarkable waiter and went the extra mile to make great recommendations and very infectious laughter.

Struggling not to give this 5 stars, but having eaten at DropStop the night before this just loses out on value for money. The food was excellent, service was great, but the price just seems a little more than I felt we should be paying. That said the Beef stew was amazing.... instead of having little dumplings in it, the stew was served inside a giant dumpling. Meat was so tender and delicious. My wife had the beef medallion (I thought it was delicious too, but she felt a similar meal in Prishtina had the edge on this one). We chose a Vranac wine to accompany The meal and it was delicious, but again slightly more expensive than a similar Kosovan wine. Decor of the restaurant and ambience were top quality and I suppose this and the location drives the premium price. Thanks especially to our waitress who deserves 5 stars for her attentive service and excellent advice. We look forward to trying out your recommendations at our next stop.

Hats off to the chef that managed to cut the chicken breast 1 millimeter, the meat was basically flour and oil 80% and 20% meat. It used to be a nice chicken royal sandwich, but not anymore. It's also 380 denars!!

Don't be expecting the Nat Gal, London experience. Still, this is a nice and small museum dedicated to Macedonian artists. The building that houses this collection is superb!

I recently visited the museum, but unfortunately, my experience was unpleasant due to the behavior of one of the staff members at the entrance. When I arrived, he told me that visiting hours were almost over and refused to let me in. What disturbed me most was that he kept touching me while speaking, even though I clearly asked him not to. His tone was rude and aggressive, which made me feel disrespected and unsafe. I truly hope the museum management takes this matter seriously to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all visitors.

Again, with tempered expectations, you should get your 100 MKD worth of interesting art pieces in a rather well organized and interestingly renovated old Ottoman building. Neither the place nor the art pieces are mind blowing, but it is very well air conditioned and cheap to enter. Reason on its own to visit it!

I know art is subjective but I guess I didn’t enjoy the current installation at the gallery. The gallery is small, hot, smells funky and I think is being renovated. Took me only 5-10 minutes to walk through and read all the info. Maybe I’m here at the wrong time but I don’t understand the hype. Couldn’t really appreciate how it’s a renovated hammam either, it just looks like they’ve put white plaster over everything. I think I felt really intrigued of part of the installations with the crocodiles but felt the meaning didn’t really click with me once I read the information. The artist has skill for sure but just felt the gallery atmosphere and flow of the rooms was a let down.

Although it doesn't seem too large from the outside, this museum is filled with a diverse collection of modern art pieces ranging from the 18th to 20th centuries. For 100 MKD, you can spend about an hour enjoying the paintings, murals, and sculptures created by many Macedonian artists.. The inside is well cared for and clean as well.

The building of the Daut Pasha Hamam, which is part of the National Gallery of Macedonia, is the most interesting part of the visit. It's well worth discovering. There are parts that compare how the ceiling used to be to what it has become. The architect in charge of renovating this building did a great job. If only the exhibits were half as interesting as the renovation. I hope that the exhibited collection will improve with time.

100% recommend. Great conversion of an ancient hammam into a museum for (modern) Macedonian art. Some really good art pieces.

It seemed small from the outside but actually it is pretty specious from the inside. I think they have at least two levels if not three. It was very busy when we went there on a week day in the middle of the day. We waited a long time for someone to come and take our order. A table that came after us, got greeted before us. There is no order, they will come to you when they come to you. It was also hard to get our server’s attention to order more food. The kebapi were pretty decent but the kajmak was not good at all. They will pack your leftovers though. All the condiments come in prepackaged bags and they do charge for them which is pretty weird. It is loud in there so definitely not a place to come and relax. Our food was prepared fast but that is most likely because they work the grill all the time. It is a barbecue place after all.

The food itself was tasty but the portions were quite small for the price. I think there are many places that offer much more value for money. The salad was pretty small. The waiter was polite and patient. The place doesn’t offer alcohol. Overall very mid experience when uou keep in mind that is maybe the most famous place in town.

We ordered two portions of kuru fasulye (bean stew) — one was fantastic, the other not so much. Köfte was good; we shared two plates of 10. The kaşarlı köfte was less tasty than the plain one but still worth trying. The yogurt was delicious. They serve very spicy peppers on the side — too hot for us to eat. No alcohol. Credit cards accepted.

A lovely restaurant in Skopje’s Old Bazaar with an authentic old-style charm and delicious grilled dishes. The food is full of traditional flavor, and the atmosphere makes you feel the true spirit of the city.

The food was good and delicious. The biberli Kaymak dish was very interesting, with a lot of complex tastes. If you are in Skopje, it is highly recommended.

The quality is good compared to other restaurants in old bazaar. The meatball and beans are tasteful. Recommend the place.

Loved the food here. And our waiter was very helpful. Veal soup so yummy, no visible vegetables just broth, meat and seasoning. Beans simple and fantastic. Kebaps good. Quick service. Amidst tourist sites near bazaar and river. Our lunch bill for a filling lunch for 3 people was ~$25US. It’s a good stop for lunch.

What an incredible experience! The melted cheese is to die for and pastrmajlija was delicious! The whole interior of the place is peaceful, with inside fountain, traditional Macedonian clothing displayed and the traditional music was very pleasant to listen to. The staff are very warm, welcoming but also incredibly professional and attentive. The toilets are clean and well maintained. J cannot recommend this place enough!

They had some really good food at reasonable prices. Service was fast and very good. There was a physical menu, but they also had a QR code on the table where when scanned, you can see the dishes in photos with slightly more information than the physical menu. Wi-fi was available as well. Ambience was also pretty good with lots of natural light coming in from the roof which had some parts that let sunlight in and from the terrace which had glass doors if they needed to be closed. However, do note that because there are a lot of smokers and ventilation isn’t so good, it may be a bit uncomfortable for some non-smokers.

Firstly thank you for finding us a table with no reservation. This restaurant is fantastic, the food and drink is amazing, the house wine was fantastic. Would definitely return. Had the tuna salad and a chicken caesar along with the Pork Pastrmajlija! Fantastic! Would definitely return regularly if I was local.

Absolutely delicious food, worth every cent! Only 7’ walk away from Holiday Inn (where I’m currently staying) I went for early lunch, based on the very positive reviews. I chose the baked beans and veal casserole with okra and other veggies, this latter was just so nice! Portions are quite big and filling. Total ‘damage’ with a big bottle of sparkling water and an espresso MKD 1,080. Nice ambience (although be ready to have some neighbours smoking, but apparently it’s perfectly allowed in N. MKD) super friendly and professional service by all the waiters. Cards accepted, 100% recommended!

The best restaurant for me in Skopje. The price might be a little more than other areas, but it was great food and drinks while I was there for lunch. I had the Macedonian salad, which was fresh and crispy. The garlic bread was really nice with great flavors( i live in Korea and it is sweet here 🫣). The main dish was the casserole and the meat was cooked perfectly and had a really nice rich taste. My server played my food for me.and took care of me. However I did end up waiting a long time, and they apologized and said they forget me. So they gave me a dessert on the house so I got the homemade apple strudel with icecream. It was really nice and I wasn't in a rush so everything was ok. The weather was hot, like 36c, so i was happy to have a beer and rest inside. The inside is very traditional in style and lovely place to eat. They have a breakfast menu until 1pm! And the place was pretty busy. I would come back here again! Just remember smoking is allowed inside, so if thats not good for you, eat outside or in the area with the open doors.

Good food in comfortable surrounds. Efficient service. A little more expensive than other ethno restaurants but worth the overall experience.

Friendly service from all the wait staff, especially Dennis. Food is best ordered using the QR code, has an English option, and every dish has a photo. We ordered Pork Shank and the Casserole, and shared. Both were excellent. For dessert we ordered Baclava and Black Pancake, again both were excellent. All served in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Highly recommend.

Favourite bar in Skopje. First visited it in 2018 and had photo with waitress and owner. Went back there again in March 2025. Love the atmosphere of the place. Brought a lot of friends with me this time. Best bar in Skopje!

Great little bar. CASH ONLY has a range of rajika served ice cold from 100mkd- 900 I recommend the cherry for beginners 🤣

Today we had the worst experience since we arrived in North Macedonia. Unfortunately, no trip can be 100% perfect, and in Macedonia it was no different. Today, we had the bad luck of choosing this place to have a beer and end our Sunday. As soon as we sat down, we were treated very poorly by a waitress who was clearly unwilling to serve us properly. After eating and drinking, we asked for the bill, and she informed us that the place only accepted cash. We complained, explaining that there was no information anywhere stating this, and that as tourists, we should have been informed by the staff that the restaurant did not accept credit cards. She looked around trying to find a sign to justify herself — and couldn’t find any. Then she went to ask her manager what to do and came back asking if we could withdraw money from an ATM. We refused, saying we only had our phones and that we would pay by card. She went back to her manager and returned saying nothing could be done, and even claimed that Macedonian banks do not accept international transfers — something I had never heard in my life. After that, another employee came to speak with us. We explained the situation again, and he suggested we could pay in another nearby place, but with an additional fee. We refused to pay any extra fee since it wasn’t our fault. Then a third person came, bringing the owner — who was extremely rude and even threatened to call the police on us. We said she could call the police; we were not refusing to pay. I suggested paying by bank transfer, by card, or even allowing one of their employees to accompany us to our Airbnb to get the cash. But going alone to withdraw money or paying ATM fees for something that wasn’t our mistake was out of the question. After several stressful minutes and everyone staring at us, the waitress finally said we could go to the other establishment below to pay by card. When we got there, they tried to charge an extra fee for using the card machine, which I refused to pay. After some discussion, they finally agreed to charge only the correct amount of the bill. We left feeling deeply disrespected and humiliated. It was honestly the worst experience we’ve ever had. There is no excuse for a touristic establishment in a tourist area to refuse credit cards and still treat customers so poorly.

Service was so friendly in the first night I was there. There was a live musician who was absolutely incredible. He played all his hits from the 60s to the 2000s and also last night which was just a Monday night. They had an amazing karaoke night so most people come in around 10 PM on off days but on the weekend I can get quite full.

The service was very disappointing. We ordered non-alcoholic drinks, and when we wanted to get another round, the waiter refused in a rude and unprofessional way. The attitude made us feel unwelcome. Definitely not coming back.

The service is the best!! The waitresses are the nicest people I met on my trip so far. Had a little problem with paying and the manager Tea was so helpful, all the best ! 😊🥰

Okayyyy first, this place is an absolute vibe! From the second we walked in, I was like “yep, this is where the party’s at.” The waitresses were absolute queens! SLAYYY 💅🏻 ALSO the guy behind the barr Denis the Menace!!! LIKE tell me why this man made me fall in love between shots!? Like sir, I came for a drink not a situationship!! The cocktails were dangerous and so was his smile!!! someone needs to put that man on a warning label. 10/10 would risk my heart (and liver) again. 🍸🔥

Breathtaking church with so much history and wonder attached to it. It is home to a miracle- some of the frescos halo gold had been almost cleaned and polished overnight in 2016. It dark walls are spectacularly haunting and I always love to visit when I’m in the centre while on holidays. Always seems to be open. I do wish to come to a service too

One of the oldest church in Skopje, in the heart of Old town in the Centar of Skopje, you must visit this beautiful, spiritual and inspiring place.

Beautiful and serene Orthodox Church in Skopje!

Mystic and peaceful place, excellent church

Lovely little church, free to visit. Open on weekdays for visitors.

Former main church in Skopje

A peaceful and quiet church. You should visit and take a look inside.

Great people work at this place full with illusions and fun. Me and my sis had an amazink time and felt like kids again

The feeling of entering the world of illusions is wonderful. There is plenty to see, I invite everyone to visit.😆😍

There is a lot of ilusions its sp cool i like it so much

Very pleasant employees and interesting illusions and activities.

A fun place to visit for all ages at any time of the day. You can expect a relaxed stay with coffee, puzzles to solve and a 40 minute guide trough the variety of illusionistic effects displayed troughout the two levels. Afterwards which you can spend as much time as you desire. You will make very nice and unique photographs, all here, in the heart of Skopje.

A little smal but very fun, really good guide

The Museum of Illussions is a really fun place to visit in the center of Skopje. It's got a café and a souvenir shop at the ground floor. There are two additional below-ground floors filled with lots of real-life and printed illusions that will challenge your mind and make you explore this wonderful place. Staff is quite nice and helpful in guiding you through the various rooms filled with wacky illusions. Highly recommended!

my favourite park in the great city of skopje. I mean these benches (shown in photo)… say less 😏 perfect for a cheeky afternoon nap or to just lie down and contemplate the world and our existence in this harsh capitalist society which values our output over ourselves

Nice park with some fascinating statues and monuments, including the first statue I’ve ever seen of a whole group of people at a table.

A beautiful small park filled with statues and history. The park pays tribute to the role of women across the rich history of Macedonia. The Woman Warrior Park (Gradski Park) in Skopje, North Macedonia, is a small public park that holds historical and cultural significance. The park is home to a notable monument, known as the “Monument to the Woman Fighter” (Споменик на жената борец), which commemorates the role of women in the anti-fascist struggle during World War II.

Pretty brilliant park with intriguing and exciting architecture. When i see an innovative bench it does add to my enjoyment of a park, and this one had this great one, perfect for lying down. One downside… lots of statues of men… idk what that was about

Small but beautiful park in Skopje dedicated to woman fighters in spite of the many statues of men in the same area. The City of Skopje has many statues throughout and these are impressive as well. We walked through the park on our walking tour of the city. Great use of our short stay in Skopje.

In fact, very little space to sit on a bench or a blanket on the grass, most of the space is taken up by monuments. I know what they are for but nevertheless there are too many of them. On a hot day you can breathe in the shade of the trees.

A statue per person... It's kind of weird but that's the one of the whole thing of Skopje, but this park especially, my god so many statues. There is a mixture of odd-looking Yugoslav style (which is definitely cooler) and modern style. Downside is those ugly graffiti. Yeah, people do it everywhere but that's the responsibility of the municipality: protect the art and take care of it.

It was a great privilege to attend yesterday's stunningly beautiful Italian-Macedonian co-production of "Rigoletto"! Brilliant set design and direction, the magnificent Leon Kim, a perfect rendition of the classics, note for note, moment for moment. A true feast for the senses! (P.S.: And the concert hall is new modern and comfortable!)

I have always had amazing experiences and great entertainment at the Macedonian Opera and Ballet. While it is not the biggest theater or the fanciest, it resembles a cinema hall on the inside, but it's comfortable.

The Macedonian Opera and Ballet brings the most popular ballets and operas during the year. Buying tickets online is possible if you want to secure your tickets on time. The programme is inspiring and varied, presenting famous classics like "Swan Lake", "Nutcracker", "Aida", "Carmen", etc., and includes new and contemporary works through the year. The Gala Ballet and May Opera Nights are splendid.

Quite an interesting shape of the structure inside with a lot of corners, creating a sharp feeling. The seats on the gallery are tilting - which I found great and contemporary. The whole building needs love, from the outside to inside, quite dirty outside and a humidity problem at places inside. My partner said Norma was fantastic, I couldn't watch the whole thing and went outside 📛🤩😂

After looking forward to the performance of Nabucco this evening, we ended up leaving after the first Act. This was nothing whatsoever to do with the performance. It was all down to a very poorly run opera venue where many members of the audience were allowed to get out their mobile phones during the performance, showing absolutely no manners or consideration. I have been to many Operas across Europe and there is always an expected etiquette that is followed of no mobile phones during a performance. Not here. Usually there is an announcement to turn mobile phones off but there wasn't one made at this venue. We complained to the management and asked for our money back but they declined. They said they usually make a mobile phone announcement but that members of the audience ignore it. I have never seen that before at an opera and it's the responsibility of the opera venue to make sure the audience have a good experience without inconsiderate people ruining it for others as was the case here.

It's a great place to visit. The only downside is that it does need more regular upkeep.

Madame Bovaro was performed with perfection..The music, the costumes, 36 ballet players on the stand..It was played with such a passion..It was so classy you could say that you are in the best Ballet in the world. So, so recommended..Complete enyojment for the eys and the soul!!!

Extremely small, basically 1 room that brings some information about Macedonian/Greek of the mid 1920s till today. Few information. The museum building is mainly empty and partly run down. But: no entrance fee (at least with my visit there)

This museum was a disappointment - even though it was supposed to be open, it was closed with no explanation, just the lady said they have some technical issues. Thus we walked around its garden and that was it….

Go near the statue entrance bc it's the most detailed of the 3 parts on Macedonian culture related to clothing, housing and farming. It is so beautiful and I had the whole place to myself! I spent a lot of time looking at all the colours and embroidery. It needs some love and money so please go and support this amazing part of Macedonian culture. ❤️🙏😊

Hard to find the entrance. Air conditioning was not on and made it very hot inside. One building was nice. But the other was poorly lit and smells bad. Great look at the history of the country. Just wish the building were better taken care of.

They opening at 10:00. You can watch a few nice costums and other traditional stuff. The building is not in the best condition.

The museum is situated in an interesting building, which seems to be left a bit abandoned. The exhibition is split into 2 parts... both of which are in different halls within the same complex. The first part is a nice displayed related to the history of Macedonia; but too much reading looses interest.... The second half of the exhibition is a large collection of cultural related artefacts. Unfortunately this is displayed in a very old fashioned style with small captions. The place has potential but needs investment. Overall it was interesting to understand Macedonian culture & history. I would recommend to visit this place while wondering around the old bazaar.

Etno village museum recommend this pace for complete set of traditional clothing to see Close at 4 , Reached at 3:40pm but not allowed to enter anymore

We booked very easily with e-mail, very responsive. The place is conveniently located near Skopje, important winery. The location has multiple attractions for staying and spending time. We had a short tour with explanations on wine making process. Then we had the actual tasting of 5 wines, according to what we chose. The wines were good and nice presentation. We felt hurried to move on wine by wine on the tasting part which was the single negative point, everything took 45 minutes, but overall a good experience. Price was somewhere mid, depending on wine selection, but no appetizers included. By the way, some neutralizer is required, maybe bread only or crackers.

We had a wonderful tour with Jane. He is an absolute master at his profession. Wonderful wines, wonderful winery we will comeback!

One of the most pleasant experiences I have had at a winery, personal experience, great hospitality from our guide, very handy information, brings a good smile to the enjoyment of tasting. Highly recommended, I brought 4 bottles today as I found their wine to be unique and a step above the rest. I hope to see plenty online or overseas in the future.

The Wine Tasting Tour is a must if you're visiting Skopje!!! The venue is extraordinary, and the wines are phenomenal. Jane (our sommaelier) was highly knowledgeable and made our experience very memorable. Highly, highly recommended!

Amazing experience at wine tasting! Jane (our guide) was very knowledgeable and hospitable. Great wines! Highly recommended. P.S. make sure you book your tour in advance as weekends and evenings are not easily available. We book ours almost 3 weeks ahead

We actually drove up here to try to book a wine tasting and see the estate. The only thing they offer is that you’re allowed to eat at their restaurant and pay full price for wine by the glass — that’s the way you can taste their wine before buying bottles. Strange. But the food was good, and the service was fine. Still, it’s odd that when you want to buy wine for a larger amount, you have to go through that process. In the end, we bought much less than we had planned, since it was an impossible way to taste their wine. But again, not at all the experience we thought we could have. The website is down, and it really feels like the place doesn’t really care for tourists coming to buy their wine.

Wonderful hosts, we had 7 course wine pairing dinner which lasted for 5 hours. It was a pure pleasure. The staff is excellent, presentation amazing and food superb. We had the honour of tasting some magnums and double magnums of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from 2007. Wines are amazingly crafted, long lasting and represent terroir in best way. I highly recommend visiting this place

I would expect a dimmer environment in the evening. He would show the colored lights more vividly. In order for the ambience to be romantic, it is necessary to reduce large sports lights. Looking at their old photos, they did a good job. A beautiful country that deserves more tourism. I also recommend you to visit the museum.

This is the main square and the true heart of the city. It’s huge and full of life, surrounded by cafés and restaurants. The focal point is, without a doubt, the massive “Warrior on a Horse” statue, which everyone recognizes as Alexander the Great. The scale is impressive, with the bronze statue standing on top of a very tall pedestal. The square connects several major landmarks, including the famous Stone Bridge that leads to the Old Bazaar. It’s the perfect place to start exploring and feel the city’s energy.

As a tourist I can say that you can expect spectacular views there. It's exceptional. As a historian I must point your attention to the whole Skopje 2014 project, that turned out to be just one big corruption opportunity for politicians. Just devastating how much money was wasted.

⭐ 5/5 — Beautiful architecture and great atmosphere Visited on 25 October 2025 with my fiancée. We stayed around an hour taking photos because the square is truly beautiful — a perfect mix of classic architecture, statues, and a stunning water fountain show with lights that create a great atmosphere for pictures and relaxing for a bit. You can also take a short walk around the square to see different spots and enjoy the vibe. The area was a little crowded, but expected since it’s the center of the city. Very clean and well-maintained. You can reach the square easily by car or bus, but the inside is blocked for vehicles so you must continue on foot — which adds to the charm. One thing to be careful about: if you’re staying inside the square and need to bring your car in, make sure you only talk to the official guard. Someone tried to scam us by pretending to charge money to enter, but our apartment host confirmed there’s no fee and the real guard let us through safely. Overall, a must-visit spot in Skopje — especially for photos, architecture lovers, and anyone wanting to feel the heart of the city. ✅ Highly recommended.

Macedonia Square is the main square of Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia. It is located in the central part of the city, and crosses the Vardar River. The square has several structures, the most prominent is the statue of Alexander the Great. Many structures in the square are relatively new, but the stone bridge connecting the new and old city is from 15th century. There is a nice walking path along the river and many souvenir stores in the Old part of the city. We visited in the morning, so the square was almost empty. Unfortunately the area is not maintained well, some part is quite dirty but it's worth visiting.

We spent a few days in Skopje, and this square is beautiful! There are many monuments, rich history, and people from different parts of the world. This place is a must-see if you are visiting Skopje.

One of my favorite areas of the city. Has GTC mall, monuments, nice marble flooring, Vardar River, Alexander the Great statues and of his dad and mom. It hosts a nice little Christmas market. Nice place to eat, have a drink, skate, or just meet up with friends

We rented a car for 6 days, and. they were friendly and helpful, handled the procedures quickly, and we never had any issues withs. Recommended for renting!

I had an excellent experience renting a car through this agency. The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and in perfect working condition, with no issues throughout the rental period. The airport pickup was smoothly arranged via WhatsApp, making the process convenient and hassle-free. The pricing was reasonable and transparent, with no hidden fees. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable, affordable, and convenient car rental option.

Rented a car for two weeks, 2 counties and ~1600km driven. Zero problems. Great experience, friendly employees whom take their time to explain the local traffic and parking rules. Great price for new (2024) cars. Even able to turn the car in at the airport for just €10 extra. Clear instructions on how to cross the border etc. 5/5.

Excellent Service and Brand-New Cars! Thanks Rent a Car Skopje Relax Team!!! I recently had the pleasure of renting a car from Rent a Car Skopje Relax and I couldn't be happier with the experience.

We rented the Dacia Duster for a three-month circular road trip starting in Skopje traveling through the countries of Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo and finally dropped the car off in Thessaloniki Greece. The car was very clean when we picked it up and ran perfect the entire trip. We had no problems at the border crossings and our insurance was accepted in all the countries we visited. Aki and the entire Rent A Car Relax Skopje Team are very helpful and go above and beyond the service of other rental car companies. You arrive as a customer and leave as family. Highly recommend Relax Rent a Car Skopje.

Solemn atmosphere, away from city centre.

Place where is the one of biggest Macedonian son

Good and bog church

Holy sacred place

Spiritual rescue?

orthodox church

After reading mixed reviews we decided to give it a chance, and so glad we did. The exhibit is not overwhelming; we were able to see the entire collection in a couple hours. It is a bit heavy on the reading of history and a couple items are not labeled, but there is a variety with something for everyone. The construction reported in earlier reviews is complete now and the lower level rooms are open. Ask a museum staff member to see the upper rooms containing paintings, posters, and photos, the old underground platform access tunnel, and the outside spaces. Our guide, Mihail, was outstanding. No fee to enter.

It's very interesting museum that you can enter for Free. Not a big one but interesting displays. Outside the building, you can see the effect of earthquake that destroys more than half of the Old Railway station. It has also very clean toilets.

It's the same of Skopje city museum. Small free entry museum and nothing interesting to see. It offers few items mostly photographic with no real history of the city.

Worth every second therw. Free, with a host/guide who was lovely, knowledgeable and enjoyed sharing the history behind this ruined station and more broadly of Prishtina. A true gem to go learn, in Prishtina

Great museum where you can learn a lot about Skopje's history for free!

Great free museum. Totally worth to visit. Our guide told us very interesting stories about it.

New clubish place for events and celebrations in the middle of the old railway station which has once been ruined in a catastrophic earthquake back in 1963. Views are rather interesting and the open space is also cosy and great for summer times.

Serenity

It is amazing and it's very positive

Peaceful place

Relaxing

Super place.

Peaceful place

Beautiful church

Great way to spend your night with friends if you are looking for something different than the ordinary. Did the Dexter room, and didn't made it on time. The room at first looks so basic but it has so much details that every minute should be used properly. Would recommend for couples as well, for two people it's 2000 MKD which is around 32 EUR.

We did the Evil Mansion and managed to finish it in very short record time. There is no sequence to unlock the door and was slightly disappointed not to solve all clues but we managed to unlock the door and the game finished. No bathroom was available.

The cube is definitely the best place to experience the escape room. The rooms are very detailed, the challenges are super fun and... well... challenging haha. The time spent here with a group of friends is amazing, I don't think you can regret it, but you'll definitely enjoy it.

Excellent experience if you want to get out of the daily routine and just for an hour loose your phones, relax and enjoy with your company!

Very nice escape room with interesting puzzles. It could have been better if the pieces of the puzzle ls would have been provided in a more logical and better timed order. Still a lot of fun.

Tried the Evil Mansion, absolutely loved it, very challenging but a great way to spend some quality time with friends.

Very interesting and fun. We were 5 people. We made it out in time with some much appreciated help 😊

Overrated. Especially considering the price (500 Denar), the cave is not really that special. The boat tour to the cave was more exciting than the cave :/ The pictures at the boat tours are photoshopped to look better and like you are driving through the cave. You do not. You stop and walk through the cave (2 minutes) and you have seen everything.

Oh wow! Visiting Cave Vrelo near Skopje was an absolutely fascinating experience and one of the most unique parts of my trip. The boat ride across Matka Canyon to reach the cave was breathtaking, with stunning views of the cliffs and crystal-clear waters setting the scene for adventure. Inside the cave, I was amazed by the dramatic stalactites and stalagmites, as well as the mysterious underground lake. The atmosphere felt otherworldly, and learning that it is believed to be one of the deepest underwater caves in the world made it even more exciting. Cave Vrelo was both beautiful and awe-inspiring—a true natural wonder and a highlight of my visit to Macedonia.

The cave is nice. the lights effects ads to the beauty of the shapes. its small and the visit short than back to the boat. Riding with the boat to the cave the visit in it and back takes one hour and cost 500 macedonian money.

You can only enter this cave by taking boat ride from the canyon. Very nice cave. Its a little cold when you get in so bring a light jacket. You will need to climb some steps so wear comfortable shoes and clothing. The cave is a bit wet and dark so be really careful and exercise caution when walking.

Boat trip to the cave is nice, but the cave is a prime example of how not to care about nature wonders. You can go inside for about 20-30m, some of the stalagmites are already destroyed by ppl and since the lights are shining in the cave nonstop (normally the lights in caves are on only for short periods of time) life is already blooming in the cave, some walls are green and little signs of life are showing around because of inadequate human intervention.

Even though you can't walk a lot through the cave as it is mostly underwater, definitely it is worth to visit Vrelo cave which is considered to be one of the deepest underwater caves in Europe and the world. It has not been fully explored, but its estimated depth is 240 meters. Round trip with a boat from the restaurant in Canyon Matka to the cave is 500 MKD.

Definitely worth the visit. The accessable part isn't that big as most of the cave is under the water, but it's beautiful. You can take a boat trip here from the restaurant for a 500mkd. The trip takes about a hour in total with both ways and a visit of the cave.

very affordable especially for kids if anyone is wondering the prices are: 0-6 years old - free, 7-14 years old - 50 denars, adults - 100 denars, for women 62+ is free and for men 64+ is free. that goes for the ride up and down theres only one payment, i definitely recomend its a great experience especially if you are here for the first time, theres a store with drinks when you get up and a place to sit, also a store down where the entrance is. you can get a bus number 25 to get you to sredno vodno (the enterance)

Not work

Really good, totally worth its price

Arrived at 3pm on Wednesday August 12th 2020. Info sign describes opening hours as 1000-1800 during summer season, closed Monday and last Tuesday of the month. However, it was closed and no one could explain to me why. I ended up having to walk the rest of the way to the cross and came down in darkness and torrential rain.

Very nice place, but there aren't any public toilets

(Translated by Google) Great view over Skopje. For 100 denars (1.61€) once up and once down. 👍🔝 (Original) Super Aussicht über Skopje. Für 100 Denar (1,61€) einmal hoch und einmal runter. 👍🔝

(Translated by Google) nice overview of Skopje from the mountain. not expensive to go up. the equivalent is less than 4 euros for 2 people. recommended to do. (Original) mooi overzicht over skopje vanaf de berg. niet duur om naar boven te gaan. omgerekend nog geen 4 euro voor 2 personen. aanrader om te doen.

Quiet and peaceful monastery. It's a bit of a drive from the center through narrow and winding roads but worth it. There's parking right outside the monastery. Gates were closed (arrived around 4pm, used the black gate near the parking) but not locked, and so were the church doors. You may have the place to yourself. No entrance fees. Good views of the city from here

Small church outside Skopje. Entry fee is 120 MD, because it doubles as a small museum. The frescos inside are incredibly beautiful. I was lucky to have a passionate guide who took plenty time to explain the images. It's hard to believe some fresco are 800+ years old, with how stunning the colours still are.

I took a tour to the Mountain Vodno and Matka Canyon, but I recommend you to ask if the cable car is working because we were disappointed that the cable car was not working at the time we took the tour. Tour planners also didn’t give us any news about it but it was not working for a couple days long. Site is skopje daily tours, our guide was very nice and joyful. Entry fee to the church is 2 euros but we were early so they didnt charge us 😹

a small 12th-century Byzantine church located in a monastery complex. The church and monastery are dedicated to st. Pantelejmon, the patron saint of physicians. The church is a part of a bigger place containing, rooms for living, and a restourant that was not working at the time. Its next to Makedonsko selo complex

Amazing place near Skopje. A must see is the church (built in 1164) and the composition called "Lamentation of Christ" by an unknown fresco painter which is considered a forerunner of Renaissance painting.

Very nice byzantine church to visit. Tickets can be bought on place.

A beautiful monastery only 8 km away from Skopje with panoramic views of the surrounding. The frescoes in the church are very specific with their coloring, composition and purity of expression which are outstanding examples of Byzantine medieval monumental painting in the later 12th century. You must visit this place!
