One Day in Skopje
One Day in Skopje
The Square Macedonia is the perfect place to start. If you land at Skopje’s airport, there is shuttle bus that takes you to the center of the city, very close to the square. If you are arriving by bus at Skopje, you will get to the central bus station which is only 10min walk from the square. And if you are coming by car, you can park in one of the three parking houses near the square.
Start from the Macedonia Square and be amazed by the monuments that surround it. Afterwards you should continue to the Archaeological museum trough the “Eye” bridge from where you can see the Stone Bridge and check out some marvelous findings from the country dating back 7000 years.
After the Square Macedonia and the Archeological museum you can continue your One day in Skopje walk into the Old Bazar for some tasty food, old Ottoman style mosques, hamams and the most amazing church in Skopje, the Saint Spas.
After the exploration of the Old Bazaar and its narrow streets, being amazed by the ceilings of the Mosques, by the iconostasis and frescoes, continue your way towards the Skopje Fortress (Kale) and then down by the Government, into the city park for an ice-cream or coffee under the deep shadows near the pond and rest from your One day in Skopje walk.
After the meal you can finish your walk and your One day in Skopje by visiting the main Orthodox Church which is in the middle of the path from the Bohemian Street and the Macedonia Square.
