I am taking a trip to Skopje, Macedonia at the end of this month and I was wondering what there was to do?

Answer 1

If your destination is Skopje you must visit:
1. Matka (Womb)- canyon on the river Treska, not so far from the city (Skopje), actually there is a bus going there… Only few minutes from the canyon there are few (5-6 I’m not sure) beautiful old churches.
2. The Stone Bridge- in the centar, on the river Vardar
3. The Fortress Kale (near the Centar)
4. St. Bogorodica and St. Kliment Ohridski (there are many beautiful churches, but don’t miss these two)
5. The Old Bazaar- with many small shops from the time of the Turks, Turkish baths, Mosques, Kursumli An, Amams - Cifte Amam, Daut Pasa Amam e.t.c)
6. For shoping there are many malls, but the best ones are: GTC (Gradski trgovski Centar and Ramstore mall). You must check some of the coffee bars placed on the bench of the river Vardar (they’re actually in GTC)
7. Milenium Cross on mountain Vodno (almost in the centar of the city). It has great panoramic view at night!!!
8. DID YOU KNOW THAT MOTHER TERESA WAS BORN IN SKOPJE? You can see the place where her house used to be (it’s near the city square)

Have fun!

G'day a Girl,

Thank you for the question.

Skopje has several historic sites. The church of Saint Panteleimon in Nerezi near Skopje is a superb example of the Comnenian art on the all-Byzantine level. Commissioned by several members of the royal Comnenus family, the church was not finished until 1164. Nerezi is famous for its frescoes, representing a pinnacle of the 12th-century trend of intimacy and spirituality. They are often compared with similarly delicate works by Giotto, who worked 140 years later. These murals underwent serious 19th-century overpainting but were restored lately.

A ancient Roman aqueduct survives to the north of the city. One of stone bridges connecting both side of Vardar River dates back to the reign of Stefan Dušan. This bridge is not to be confused with the more famous Stone Bridge in the city square built under the patronage of Sultan Mehmed III the Conqueror between 1451 and 1469, today featured as the emblem of the city of Skopje. Within Skopje, there are notable buildings from the Ottoman rule such as the Kuršumli Han (medieval Turkish inn) and several mosques.

It has a diverse range of cultures and great coffee.

I have enclosed sources for your reference.

I hope that you have a great time.

Regards

Hello dear!
There are many things to do in Skopia! Some sightseeing and meet wonderful people!
Unfortunately the weather is not stable and I can not guarantee that it will be sunny and dry, but I wish it will be for you!
As many are doing, you can see the beauties of FYROM and then visit Albania or Greece to enjoy the sea!
