In the heart of the Balkan Peninsula lays the capital city of the republic of Macedonia, Skopje. A 2000 year old city has a timeless tradition built throughout the centuries, full of historical monuments, artistic and cultural spirit, recreational facilities, and warm hospitality from its citizens.

Skopje keeps its historical landmarks that survived through out years and centuries. The most striking monument is The Skopje Fortress dating from 535 AD which stands proudly in the centre of the city and offers a panoramic view of the entire city structure.


Standing on the Fortress, it will not pass your eyes the beautiful quay of the river Vardar flowing through the city; it’s the biggest river in the country. The country’s most famous Stone Bridge stretching over the water, dates form the second half of the fifteenth century. Crossing the bridge you enter the heart of Skopje, the Macedonia square. Of the many streets leading out the square, one leads south, and at the end you’ll notice the Old railroad Station with a stopped clock giving the time of 17:17. This railroad station symbolizes the strength of Skopje, surviving the catastrophical earthquake in 1963. Now, it’s the home of The Museum of Skopje.
