What to do and see in Skopje, Skopje Region: The Best Historic Sites
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 very short walk from the center of town and there are lots of interesting shops selling souvenirs and handicrafts. There are also lots of coffee shops and restaurants, a whole street of gold and jewelry stores, a fresh food market (spices, vegetables, etc) and plenty of interesting people watching on pedestrianized streets.
