Places to visit...

The magnificent Canyon Matka is Macedonia’s most distinguishable landmark – and an artificial wonder that you simply have to see to believe. The Canyon covers an area of around 5.000ha and is located 15km south-west of Skopje, the capitol of Macedonia.

Vrelo cave World deepest underwater cave. Located on the right bank of the Treska River, the cave was listed as one of the top 77 natural sites in the world in the New7Wonders of Nature project.

The Old Bazaar is 5 minutes walk from the main city square, just across the stone bridge. Old bazaar takes you to another world, streets full of local stores, jewelry shops, local street restaurants, baklava shops, mosques...definitely worth visiting.

Skopje Fortress commonly referred to as Kale (from kale, the Turkish word for ‘fortress’), is a historic fortress located in the old town of Skopje.

The exhibit area in the Memorial House was conceived to look like an urban house from the early 20th century. The exhibit itself begins with photographs of old Skopje from the early 20th century, when Macedonia was still part of the Ottoman Empire.

Since the opening of the Memorial House in 2009 until today, the number of visitors ranges from 80000 to 100000 per year, including a number of presidents, ministers, ambassadors, church dignitaries, the niece of Mother Teresa – Age, Cardinal Pietro Parolin (Vatican secretary of state) and others.

The taste of tradition...

The Macedonian traditional food is probably one of the best in the Balkans. Macedonian cuisine is influenced by Ottoman Turkish cuisine and shares characteristics of other Balkan cuisines.

The relatively warm climate of the country provides excellent growth conditions for a variety of vegetables, herbs and fruits. Macedonian cuisine is also noted for the diversity and quality of its dairy products, wines, and local alcoholic beverages, such as rakija.
