Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, is one of the most intercultural cities in Europe. You can witness its amazing food and culture in just one day if you know where to go in this bridge-divided city.
The Old Bazaar
Just across the bridge from the main square, you will find the biggest bazaar in the country. Here you can visit the art gallery, buy some souvenirs or enjoy a hot bowl of beef stew in one of the most authentic places in Skopje: ‘Kafana Sarajevo’!
Zhena Borec Park
If you are looking for a nice place to rest your head, go to this park. It’s devoted to the partisan women (that’s what the name means) and today it’s the main attraction for locals who gather and play chess, keeping the neighborhood spirit alive.
The Clock That Stopped
Skopje was hit by a great earthquake back in 1963 at exactly 5:17 am. The clock on the main train station stopped working at that moment exactly, and it’s still here to remind us of the great tragedy. The train station is now a Skopje museum.
