Sofia: Skopje Day Trip

Embark on a day-long journey from Sofia to the vibrant city of Skopje, the capital of Macedonia. Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from your Sofia accommodation, where you’ll board an air-conditioned vehicle for a comfortable transfer to Skopje. As you traverse the picturesque countryside, relax and prepare for a day filled with exploration.

Upon arrival in Skopje, commence a fascinating walking tour starting at Skopje Fortress. Marvel at sweeping panoramic views of the city from this historic vantage point. Continue your journey to the Church of the Holy Savior, home to a remarkable iconostasis. Explore the remnants of the Ottoman Period as you visit the Sultan Murat Mosque and wander through the Old Bazaar.

Your knowledgeable guide shares insights into Skopje’s history, once a bustling trade center in the Balkans. Pause at a typical Macedonian restaurant for a delectable lunch (at your own expense) before crossing the Vadar River to explore the other side of the city. Witness the blend of old and new as you visit the new neo-classical square and pay homage to Mother Teresa at her memorial house.
