"The city is remarkably walkable - there will be no need to take public transit or taxis once you've dropped your bags at your hotel - but there are a few key things to know when visiting Skopje, including the best places to get rakija, the historical sites that'll help you understand the country better and where to find the best speakeasy-adjacent casinos."
"Dubbed the "weirdest capital city in Europe" by travel bloggers and journalists in recent years due to its whimsical architecture, Skopje offers a lot more than meets the eye. The capital of North Macedonia has no shortage of quirk, sure, but its complicated history and geographical positioning have today resulted in an interesting blend of Ottoman- and Balkan-influenced culture that includes incredible hospitality, excellent traditional cuisine,"
Skopje blends Ottoman and Balkan influences, showcasing whimsical architecture alongside deep historical layers and abundant monuments. The city offers strong hospitality, traditional cuisine, a temperate climate and lively cultural scenes. Skopje is compact and highly walkable, enabling easy exploration of Macedonia Square, the Stone Bridge and the Vardar River. Travelers can sample rakija, visit historical sites to understand national history and find speakeasy-style casinos. The capital is reachable via Skopje International Airport with connections across Europe; flights from London or Paris take about seven hours, while Athens or Istanbul are under 90 minutes. Central hotels like the Skopje Marriott sit steps from main attractions.
