Discover the fascinating history of Skopje, a city shaped by centuries of cultural and political change. Once home to Thracians and Romans, Skopje has witnessed the rule of Byzantine, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Ottoman empires, each leaving a lasting mark on its heritage. The city, renamed Uskub under Ottoman rule, was later liberated during the First Balkan War and eventually became the capital of the Macedonian Federation within Yugoslavia. After the devastating 1963 earthquake, Skopje rebuilt itself into the modern, vibrant capital of North Macedonia.
Begin your full-day journey from Sofia at 8:00 AM, traveling through the scenic Osogovo Mountains before reaching Skopje around noon. Join your local guide for a walking tour that reveals the city’s key landmarks, including the Museum of History in the old railway station, the Memorial House of Mother Teresa, and the main square, where the impressive statue of Alexander the Great stands. Cross the iconic Stone Bridge, a symbol of the city connecting the old and new parts of Skopje.
Enjoy a guided stroll through the charming Old Quarter, filled with shops, cafes, and traditional markets. After the tour, relax with a delicious Macedonian meal or a coffee before heading back to Sofia, taking with you lasting memories of one of the Balkans’ most historically rich cities.
