What to do and see in Skopje, Skopje Region: The Best Historic Sites

June 1, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

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.

Old Bazaar, Skopje

Reviewed By cookpias - Los Angeles, United States

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.
