Appreciating the diversity of Balkan culture can be difficult, especially with limited time in the region. Explore Macedonian culture on a day tour to Skopje from Sofia, and tick off another Balkan capital in just 1 day. Enjoy the company of 2 professional guides - one from Bulgaria and one local from Macedonian. Travel the distance with ease via modern vehicle, and discover landmarks including the Skopje Fortress, Memorial House of Mother Teresa, and Old Bazaar, with insights provided by your guides. During this day tour you will have the chance to visit one of the most bizarre cities on the Balkan Peninsula. Skopje is a mixture of authentic monuments from the Ottoman period, and new neo-classical buildings, complete with ornate columns and rooftop figures of nymphs. After the reconstruction of the new center has been done, as per the “Skopje 2014” project, the city became one of the popular destinations in Eastern Europe.

The tour takes the whole day (12-13 hours) but if you have never been in North Macedonia it is really worth it. Driver to Macedonia, Daniel, was amazing. Very trustworthy driver, great sense of humor and very knowledgeable on Bulgaria and Macedonia history. Certainly recommend taking this tour while visiting Sophia.

Driver Elian was good and gave some background information on the way over. This is a very long tour, but worthwhile if you want to see Skopje and have limited time. Four hours in Skopje included a walking tour of about 1.5 hours, leaving enough time for a quick lunch and a couple of quick museum stops during our free time. Skopje is a very interesting city and this tour gave a great overview. It is very hot in the summer though and note that the transportation was by a minivan which for our tour was filled up (7 passengers).
