If you enjoy the pastries, the drinks, the warmth of people, Skopje is the place to visit! You will see many cultures, many pros and realistically, many flaws but depending the time of day or the month, you may not wish to leave ;) . Oh, did I mention the cheap cheap drinks and food ? Try the vegetables! Check what is a REAL organic fruit or vegetable.

Skopje is a really weird place but never have I been so interested to learn about a city and its history. The architecture tells a story and the amount of statues is bizzare. This was a busy square with a fair few affordable bars and restaurants dotted about. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Although I'm from Skopje, The square on the other side of Stone Bridge is much nicer. Besides the fountain there's nothing much to see, except for Pelister restaurant the others aren't worth the price. The marble can be slippery in the rain and snow so be careful. The only thing I love is the roasted chestnuts in the fall and roasted corn in the summer, the smell of those can't be replaced!

This is the main square in the city - it sits right before the Stone bridge and on the newer side of the city. It is a large square surrounded by hotels , shops and restaurants. The statue of Alexander the great lords over the square - make sure to know the story of his connection to Skopje. And while walking around take in all the statues - they are everywhere!

Really impressive square with huge statues! Statement urban open space in the centre of the city, dotting with huge historic statues. Also ringed with good bars and restaurants, along with access to the Stone Bridge and through to the Old Bazarre and Castle. Mainteance still an issue through.
