8 days in Skopje Itinerary

A melting pot of cultures from Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Yugoslavian rule, Skopje serves as the nation's eclectic capital.

Head to Old Bazaar, Skopje and Acanthus Galleryfor plenty of shopping. Your inner history buff will appreciate Memorial House of Mother Teresa and Kale. Venture out of the city with trips to Saint Joachim Osogovski (in Kriva Palanka), Mavrovo (Mavrovo National Park & Mavrovo Lake) and Staro Nagorichane (Church St. George & Kokino). There's lots more to do: explore the activities along Lake Matka, take in the spiritual surroundings of Xhamia E Larme, snap pictures at The Stone Bridge, and take an in-depth tour of Holocaust Memorial Centre.
