Skopje is the capital and largest city of North Macedonia. It is the country's political, cultural, economic, and academic centre. The territory of Skopje has been inhabited since at least 4000 BC; remains of Neolithic settlements have been found within the old Kale Fortress that overlooks the modern city centre.

What is Skopje famous for?

Skopje also is a very attractive tourist destination with its fortress, cultural and historical monuments, archaeological sites, sport halls, caves in the canyon of the River Treska and Lake Matka and a health spa in the eastern part of the city.

Is Skopje worth visiting?

Skopje is worth a day trip or two. It's not London, but it's a good cross-section of the East and the West. Visit the pedestrian zone in the centre for a coffee in the morning, the Old Bazaar for a walk and a traditional lunch, possibly the top of Mount Vodno for a gondola ride and a nice view, Lake Matka, esp.
