Macedonia - young state with ancient history, trip from Sofia
Overview of your Sofia tour
Going to Skopje, the capital of Republic of North Macedonia is as if going back to those days at the beginning of 20th century when the so called "Macedonian" question was conceived. Yet, Skopje is the new modern face of a young independent country which was firstly acknowledged by Bulgaria. The Republic of North Macedonia has had the opportunity to develop after the post-Yugoslavian period and today Skopje presents to us its long-standing history with its second largest Grand Bazar, small "sokak" - streets, quite tempting with its tasty local food and sweets as well as some interesting architecture - a combination of the ideas of the famous Japanese architect Kenzo Tange together with the memories of the one of the most devastating earthquakes in the history of the Balkans!
Your Sofia tour itinerary
We start from Sofia and in 2 hours we'll be at the boarder with Republic of Macedonia. - At our arrival in Skopje we'll start walking right in the city centre, - we will go across the "KAMEN" bridge, take a walk along the small shopping streets of the old market - the second biggest of this type after the "Grand Bazar" in Istanbul - "Kapalicarsi", - then up to the Kalle (fortress) and have some lunch (optional). - On the way back we'll walk along the pedestrian area, see the memorial house of Mother Theresa (free entrance) , and see the Old train station, which has been converted into the Museum of Macedonia.
