Highlights
By this day trip, you will visit two of the most important sites of Northern Macedonia – its Capital Skopje, and one of the breathtaking natural wonders – Matka Canyon.
While exploring the old part of Skopje with its authentic sites, we will dive into the past and get to know the modern understanding of the history that the Macedonians have while walking in the new part of the city, rebuilt during the “Skopje 2014” project. In the end, we will take a break from all the history and new facts and rest our minds in the heavenly nature of Matka Canyon.
