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.

For shopping fun, head to Old Bazaar, Skopje or GTC City Shopping Centre. Popular historic sites such as Church of St. Panteleimon and Holy Savior Church are in your itinerary.
