This is known as a historical old Bazar in Skopje. Located within walking distance from the main attraction Macedonia square. In my opinion this is quite overrated. Prices are quite higher in comparison to other parts of the city. Majority of the sellers including restaurants and baklava places accept only local currency cash. But there are few currency exchange locations as well.

An absolutely cool place to visit in Skopje, in fact it was my favourite part of the city. Lots to see, old hammams, caravanseri, cobble streets, antique shops, mosques... Early in the morning there are very few people and you feel like you have this extensive old Ottoman area to yourself. By midday things have picked up and its a vibrant area with great shopping and food.

The Old Bazaar is just stunning and a pleasure to walk in, full of souvenirs and great restaurants! It is one of the oldest and largest marketplaces in the Balkans, dates back to the 12th century! Perfect to wander around anytime, plus it is close to the main entrance of the fortress of Skopje!

Visiting this place is like taking a trip back in time. It is one of the largest and oldest bazaars in the Balkans, dating back to the 12th century. The narrow cobblestone streets are filled with Ottoman-era architecture. The atmosphere is vibrant, full of craft shops, jewelers, cafes and restaurants. I found it great for a stroll, buying simple souvenirs and soaking up a genuine atmosphere.

The Old Bazaar in Skopje was an unforgettable experience that truly captured the charm and spirit of the city. Walking through its narrow cobbled streets, I felt surrounded by history, with Ottoman-era architecture, old inns, and beautiful mosques creating a unique and timeless atmosphere. The blend of cultures and traditions gave the place a vibrant and authentic character. I loved browsing the small shops filled with traditional crafts, jewelry, and souvenirs, and the aroma of local food and coffee made the visit even more delightful. The lively yet welcoming atmosphere made it easy to spend hours exploring. The Old Bazaar was a perfect mix of history, culture, and everyday life—a highlight of my trip to Skopje.
