Skopje - Introduction

Macedonia’s capital is a synthesis of old and new, of antiquity, modernity and a future rich with possibility. In its varied architecture, the city of Skopje attests to a long history of great civilizations and turbulent events. Here one can find sleek modern hotels above cobblestoned Ottoman streets, stately neoclassical homes right around the corner from grand old Yugoslav-era buildings, chic cafes, shopping malls and brightly-colored new offices, as well as the more humble brickwork of Byzantine churches.
