Highlights

With me in Skopje you will try "'Boza'' (a drink that originated in the Ottoman Empire), you will have breakfast ''Simit'' in a bakery since 1956 and taste the homemade ''Baklava''. I will show you: * Main city square with the huge monument of Alexander the Great. * Pedestrian street Macedonia * Memorial Home of Mother Terresa of Skopje * The post-earthquake buildings of the Japanese Kenzo Tange * Embassy of Italia, Spain, and Arabic house * The brutalist architecture of the city * Old Bazaar and Golden Street My motto is: Travel constantly, because travel is an elixir for the soul and gymnastics for the brain, and leave the rest to us.

About Skopje

Skopje is the capital of North Macedonia, a Balkan city on the Vardar River with an Ottoman bazaar, a stone bridge and many statues.

Skopje straddles the Vardar River in a wide valley, its two halves joined by the fifteenth-century Stone Bridge. On the north bank the Old Bazaar is a web of lanes lined with workshops, cafés and mosques, with the Kale fortress above it. On the south bank, Macedonia Square is dominated by a giant statue of a horseman, popularly taken for Alexander the Great, amid the monuments, bridges and neoclassical façades added in the early 2010s. An earthquake in 1963 destroyed much of the city.

Top-ranked sights in Skopje: Skopje Kale Fortress (Skopsko Kale), Memorial House of Mother Teresa (Spomen Kuka na Majka Tereza), Skopje Old Bazaar.
