Skopje

Skopje is an interesting city that combines history and modern life. It is not too large, making it easy to walk around its streets and see the many statues scattered throughout. The Old Town has an Eastern feel, giving you the sense that you've entered a busy market with various colors and smells. The people are welcoming, and many visitors feel safe here. Mobile data is cheap, which is a plus, but the internet may not be great in all areas. The local food is filling, but if you are vegan or vegetarian, your choices might be limited. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the nearby Vodno mountain has good hiking paths, and Mavrovo National Park is not far away, making it great for skiing or relaxing by the lake. A week is usually enough time to see Skopje, but it is also a nice place to start for exploring North Macedonia. Just keep in mind that the air quality can be poor at times and prices are very low. So, pack your bags and prepare for a unique experience in Skopje!
