What to do in Skopje?
Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, is a city of contrasts, ancient history meets modern architecture, and tradition stands alongside vibrant city life. You can explore Skopje’s eclectic character and venture out into the stunning Macedonian countryside with CARWIZ.
Start your visit at Macedonia Square, where you’ll find the iconic Warrior on a Horse statue. Stroll across the historic Stone Bridge into the Old Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest in the Balkans, where Ottoman-era mosques, artisan shops, and tea houses create a truly unique atmosphere.
Visit the Skopje Fortress (Kale) for sweeping views over the city or explore the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle for insight into the country's past. For a nature escape within the city, head to Mount Vodno, easily accessible by car, where the Millennium Cross awaits, or hike or cable car your way to breathtaking views.
You can drive just 30 minutes to Matka Canyon, a natural paradise ideal for kayaking, hiking, and cave exploration. And if you're up for a scenic drive, the beautiful Lake Mavrovo or the quaint village of Kratovo are perfect day-trip destinations.
By car, Skopje becomes more than a city, it becomes your gateway to the rich history and diverse landscapes of North Macedonia.
