6 days in Skopje Itinerary

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

Step off the beaten path and head to Mustafa Pasha Mosque and Stobi. Take a break from the city and head to Lake Matka and Mountain of Vodno. Explore Skopje's surroundings by going to Tikves Winery (in Kavadarci), Mavrovo Lake (in Mavrovo) and Stone town of Kuklica (in Kratovo). There's much more to do: take a stroll through Old Bazaar, Skopje, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Holy Savior Church, snap pictures at The Stone Bridge, and see the interesting displays at Museum of Macedonian Struggle.
