With 3 days in Skopje, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. Beyond its architectural duality, Skopje is a vibrant, layered capital. It's a city where you can explore the humble memorial house of Mother Teresa, hike to the medieval Kale Fortress for panoramic views, and then escape to the stunning Matka Canyon—a deep river gorge with monasteries and caves just a short drive away.
Pourquoi Visiter Skopje
Get Lost in the Ottoman Era at the Old Bazaar: Explore one of the largest and best-preserved Ottoman bazaars in the Balkans, a maze of cobbled streets filled with mosques like Mustafa Pasha, historic hamams, traditional craft shops, and authentic mehanas (taverns) serving local rakija.
Discover the Gateway to Natural Wonders: Use Skopje as your base for incredible day trips to the serene, forest-clad cliffs of Matka Canyon for boat rides and hiking, and to the UNESCO-listed shores of Lake Ohrid, famed for its Byzantine churches and crystal-clear waters.
Dive into Rich, Affordable Culinary Traditions: Feast on hearty, flavor-packed Macedonian cuisine without breaking the bank. Savor dishes like tavče gravče (baked beans), ajvar (roasted red pepper spread), and succulent kebapi in the atmospheric Old Bazaar, where a full meal costs a fraction of Western European prices.
