Before you travel to Skopje by plane - good to know!

Skopje is a fairly large city in population terms, but isn't too large to require a car or extensive bus journeys. Walking is often the best way to see the sights, and there's a lot to get through. Highlights include the National Gallery, which is housed in a magnificent Turkish bath building. The Old Town (Čaršija) is a wonderful place to wander around, and a lively spot for evening entertainment. And it's next to the Tvrdina Kale fort, which offers great views and is a fascinating historical site in its own right. But day trips are worth considering, too. Matka Canyon and the Vrelo Caves are  popular destinations, offering unforgettable boat trips in beautiful surroundings.
