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.
Walk across the iconic Stone Bridge, marvel at the monumental Alexander the Great statue, and visit the Mother Teresa Memorial House, honoring the Nobel Peace Prize laureate born in the city. Wander through the Old Bazaar, a lively maze of Ottoman-era shops and mosques, where the past is still very much alive.
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.
Wrap up your visit with breathtaking views from Skopje Fortress (Kale) before heading back to Thessaloniki, returning with new memories of this Balkan hidden gem.
