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 Church of St. Clement of Ohrid. Take a break from the city and head to Lake Matka and Mavrovo Lake. Explore Skopje's surroundings by going to Stobi (in Palikura), Stone town of Kuklica (in Kratovo) and Tikves Winery (in Kavadarci). And it doesn't end there: explore the ancient world of Daut Pasha Hamam, pause for some serene contemplation at Church of St. Panteleimon, admire the architecture and history at Memorial House of Mother Teresa, and get a taste of the local shopping with Old Bazaar, Skopje.
