Skopje Region trip planner

The heart of the Republic of Macedonia, the Skopje region encompasses varied landscapes that include rugged mountains, deep canyons, and lush valleys. Dominated by the Vardar--the country's longest river--the region remains one of Europe's undiscovered gems. The region's eponymous capital serves as its main center of tourism, featuring a walkable central area packed with shops, restaurants, and museums. Proud of its long history and rich cultural heritage, the city preserves many monuments left over from the country's Byzantine and Ottoman rulers. Beyond the eclectic capital spreads a tranquil countryside of small villages and ancient monastic communities, virtually unchanged for hundreds of years.
