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 Mustafa Pasha Mosque and Stobi are in your itinerary. Explore Skopje's surroundings by going to Mavrovo Lake (in Mavrovo), Stone town of Kuklica (in Kratovo) and Tikves Winery (in Kavadarci). There's still lots to do: take in the architecture and atmosphere at Church of St. Panteleimon, examine the collection at Memorial House of Mother Teresa, get to know the fascinating history of Macedonia Square, and contemplate the waterfront views at Lake Matka.
