Skopje is full of reminders of Roman and Ottoman rule. The city offers great food, wine, and adventure. And if there is anything you cannot find here, you are probably just a two-hour ride or flight from it. Skopje is so close to any city in Europe!

It is filled with a lot of friendly people who are willing to have a chat with you, even if you don’t know them. You can visit a lot of bars and have a lot of fun, although it can be a bit crowded. It’s not very expensive to shop stuff and rent places.

The city is filled with amazing and interesting statues. They all embrace the history and culture that our country has and the sacrifices that many people have made so that our country can now be free and no longer be under slavery. There are a lot of tourist attractions but not many places to have fun, the city is only useful for sightseeing.

Skopje is the capital of Republic of Nord Macedonia. What one must know before moving here is that Skopje is a not so developed city. The population is mainly consisted of Macedonians and Albanians. The food is very cheap, unlike the clothing and the rent. People are really friendly and helpful.

Skopje is the capital of Macedonia. It is a very safe city. It’s a multiethnic city. The nightlife is dynamic, but for anyone looking for a more peaceful life, Skopje also has to offer plenty of nature, canyons, mountains, and rivers too. It is also pretty cheap.

Beware of pickpockets. Buy some Macedonian denars because there you can’t use foreign currency in the city. Always keep your belongings close to you. Beware of the dogs that are wandering the main square. Visit the old bazaar and the City Mall.
