10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Skopje That You Shouldn't Miss
After belonging to many empires over time (including Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and most recently Yugoslavian), Macedonia gained its independence in 1991, and Skopje, with about half a million people, is its largest city and capital. Despite its age, the city looks quite modern, owing to a massive 1963 earthquake that destroyed 75% of its buildings. Skopje has long been shared by Christians and Muslims, who still come together at the fascinating Old Bazaar, one of the Balkans' largest markets.

This is a small church in the centre of skopje at the back of the old bazaar. For a small fee you can see inside where there is very impressive hand-carved iconography which is about 8 x 3 metres and was done by only 3 craftsmen. The whole visit takes less than half an hour. Locals are quite rightly very proud of this church.

We took a taxi from city centre up to Mount Vodno and then up the mountain with the cable car where we spent 1 hour. Enough time to take photos and grab a coffee/tea as the wind is quite chilly up there. If travelling with a taxi, it would be best if you agree with the driver to wait for you to go back down to the city centre.
