Highlights
After belonging to many empires over time (including Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and most recently Yugoslavian), Macedonia gained its independence in 1991. This influence from different eras and cultures has made its mark on the appearance of Skopje.
Skopje - where ancient history and modern life collide in a fascinating way. Set along the Vardar River, the city is known for its lively squares, stone bridges, museums, and monuments, as well as its vibrant café culture and welcoming atmosphere. Skopje serves as the political, cultural, and economic heart of the country.
