Two North Macedonian pearls in One day – Skopje and Matka Canyon
Duration
12 to 13 hours
Overview
-
You will explore Skopje - the largest city, capital, and most diverse and fascinating city in North Macedonia. The city is popular with many monuments. Skopje's Central Square is literally filled with monuments of different historical figures - The most impressive of all is the 22-meter-tall Alexander the Great monument.
And in the old city center is the restored Ottoman-era Skopje Charshi, with hundreds of little shops and smiling Macedonians behind their glass windows.
Our pedestrian walk in Skopje will reveal: The Skopje Kale Fortress and the Church of St. Spas, the old Varosha neighborhood, as well as the Stone Bridge over Vardar - the bridge connects the old and the new city and is a symbol of Skopje and is even depicted on the coat of arms of the capital.
On this day, you will also visit the breathtaking Matka Canyon - one of the most spectacular places in North Macedonia, surrounded by steep cliffs, among which are hidden medieval churches and monasteries.
