When you visit Skopje, you just cannot avoid seeing some of the local attractions or tasting some traditional food and drinks. One of them is the walk through the Old Bazaar where drinking Turkish tea and eating Turkish delight is a true ritual. We highly recommend it!

While taking a walk around Skopje's Old Bazaar, head up towards Skopsko Kale. Beneath it you will find the church Sv. Spas, one of the most important cultural monuments of the city, a place where Goce Delcev is buried. He was one of the most famous Macedonian revolutionaries and he lived at the beginning of the 20th century.

The view from the mountain top will leave you breathless, and the pictures taken here will be an eternal memory for one unforgettable day spent in the beautiful Macedonian nature. The weekend starts tomorrow and this is our suggestion as one of the best ways to pass good time.

Skopje by night is magical. Therefore, tonight visit the city center to see it lightened up and take as many photos as you can, as night photos are more striking than those taken in daylight. All of our guests share the same opinion.

To experience the other side of Skopje and feel like a local, we suggest you spend one of the weekend days on the Vodno Mountain. The mountain is located to the southwest of the city and it is 1066m high. You can easily get to the top – you can start by hiking or travel by car or bus to Middle Vodno and then if you are tired, you can take the cable car to get to the top.

The inn was destroyed by the 1555 earthquake, and then again in the 1689 fire before being rebuilt of wood construction. It existed as an inn until the World War II. The 1936 earthquake largely destroyed the building. However, it was renewed in the period 1971 – 1973 after which it was re-launched in 1974. Many stores, inns, and business offices can be found there today.

The beautiful Matka Canyon is the place where we used to have all our holiday picnics in the past. It is located only 15 kilometers from Skopje. It is an ideal place for escaping from the urban jungle of the city and having the peace needed for complete relaxation. The canyon became a world attraction due to the Vrelo cave. The cave is a system of two caves, one above water, called Vrelo, and another one under water, called Podvrelo. In the depth of the cave, there are two lakes, one larger than the other, and the so-called Russian beach. You can see this attraction by organized transportation, by boat, which takes about 20 minutes. You can also get there by car using the professional services of the company V.I.P Service Skopje that organizes visits and tours to the beautiful Matka.

What should be your starting point when exploring Skopje? Our recommendation is to start with the Skopje Fortress, commonly referred to as the Kale Fortress. It is a prominent historical landmark with the most beautiful view over the city. It makes no difference whether you go there alone or with company, what counts is to experience the fortress in the right way. There were settlements on that spot even before these walls were built. The earliest known inhabitants lived in the Neolithic and the early Bronze Age, 4,000 years BC. The fortress we see today was initially built during the Byzantine period (VI century), surrounded by 121 meters long stone walls. According to the archeologists, the fortress’s stone blocks were taken from the destroyed city of Skupi. You can get to the Old Bazaar through the Kale Fortress in several minutes. The fortress is also used for organizing concerts and theater shows in summer. You can attend and enjoy these events as well.

Our hotel is located between the St. Kliment Ohridski Church and the Catholic Church. Get the best of the sunny day, take a walk, and visit the churches. Then come back to the hotel and warm up with a cup of hot tea in our lobby or have one in your room.

Daut Pasin Hamam in the Old Bazaar is another local attraction rich of history worth exploring. The Hamam was built between 1489 and 1497 as a legacy of the former Vizier of Rumelia, Daut Pasha. There are two legends tied to this place narrating why the Hamam was never put into function as a Hamam. According to the first one, large quantities of firewood were required to heat the Hamam that could not be provided because the forest of the Vodno Mountain was almost destroyed, and the lack of firewood prevented the usage of the facility. The second legend is related to the daughter of Daut Pasha. One day she visited the Hamam and was bitten by a poisonous snake. She died shortly after that. Daut Pasha ordered the inn to be closed and never to be used again. Today, the Hamam is used as an art gallery located in the headquarters of the National Gallery of Macedonia.

The Markov monastery is a monastery complex located to the south of the village of Markova Sushica, in the valley of the river called Markova Reka. It was established a long time ago, in 1345.

The monastery is situated about 20km south from Skopje. It is one of the favorite picnic spots for the locals and an attraction that each tourist should visit.

The St. Joachim Osogovski Monastery is located about 3km northeast from Kriva Palanka, in the arms of the Osogovo Mountains.

It is open for visitors during the whole week. It is located near our hotel as it takes only 15 minutes’ walk to get there.

The Univerzal Hall Skopje (Univerzalna Sala), renamed in Congress Center Alexander the Great two years ago, is one the cultural landmarks of our city. It was built as a result of the humanity of more than 20 countries that helped the city after the catastrophic earthquake in 1963 for the purpose of promoting the culture and art. It was opened in 1966. It is considered as one the most important places for developing and raising the cultural consciousness in Macedonia.
