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 Holy Savior Church. 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: wander the streets of Old Bazaar, Skopje, explore the ancient world of Daut Pasha Hamam, pause for some serene contemplation at Church of St. Clement of Ohrid, and examine the collection at Archaeological Museum of Macedonia.
