Skopje
2 things to see
Skopje is one of Europe’s most eccentric capitals, with a divisive but free-to-explore city center full of statues and neoclassical facades, a genuine Ottoman bazaar, and some of the cheapest meals on the continent. Wandering the Old Bazaar, crossing the Stone Bridge over the Vardar, and climbing to the Kale Fortress for city views all cost nothing, and a coffee or grilled-meat meal here runs a fraction of Western European prices. The compact center makes it an easy budget stop, with spring and autumn the most comfortable seasons before the summer heat sets in.
