What to do and see in Skopje, Skopje Region: The Best Hidden Gems Things to do

December 25, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

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.

Lake Matka

Reviewed By yasarozkul - Manama, Bahrain

Though very easily reachable, this natural beauty is crowned with restaurants serving tasty and fresh food, a very interesting cave to visit and boat trip at calm and peaceful waters of the river. A must to see place in Skopje !
