Escape Greece for the day and discover the vibrant capital of North Macedonia on this full-day tour to Skopje. From ancient stone bridges to grand statues and colorful bazaars, Skopje is a fascinating blend of East and West, tradition and transformation.
Begin your journey from Thessaloniki and travel comfortably through scenic countryside with your friendly English-speaking tour escort. After a relaxing drive and a short break near the border, arrive in Skopje and start your adventure.

Enjoy a traditional Macedonian lunch at a local restaurant (at your own expense), then spend time exploring at your own pace — shop for local crafts, stroll along the Vardar River, or relax with a coffee in the city center.
