Welcome to Skopje
Welcome to Skopje, the capital of the Republic of North Macedonia, a city located in the heart of the Balkan Peninsula, at the crossroads of vital communications, with a tradition spanning over two thousand years.
We encourage you to take a walk along the beautiful quay of the Vardar River, stroll through the narrow streets of the Old Bazaar, the largest preserved bazaar in the Balkans, and climb up to the Upper Town (the "Kale") to experience the spirit of the 1500-year-old fortress and enjoy a panoramic view of Skopje. Be sure to visit the St. Pantelejmon church and admire the fresco “Lamentation of Christ”, which bears the first signs of the Renaissance.
You can explore the treasures of Skopje and visit the Islamic monuments, including Sultan Murat’s Mosque and the Daut Pasha Hamam. Skopje is internationally famous as the birthplace of Mother Teresa. Despite the turbulent history of the Balkans, Skopje has blossomed into a thriving and vibrant city, defining itself as a superb tourist destination. After an exciting day exploring Skopje, you can enjoy the tasty Macedonian cuisine and delicious Macedonian wines. You will experience the warm hospitality of its citizens wherever you go. We believe your visit to our city will remain in your memory as an unforgettable experience.
