Let us evoke the city's past with its winding lanes filled with teahouses, mosques, craftspeople's shops, and even good day and nightlife.

Let us get pleasantly lost in the maze of narrow streets.

Not only it was actually the second biggest Ottoman bazaar of its kind in Europe in its heyday (after the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul,), but it also encompasses galleries, mosques, museums, restaurants and bars, and all kinds of fun and interesting attractions. Skopje's çarsija is not like all the others. To understand the state of mind of the Macedonians, Albanians, Turks and all the others who make up Macedonia's rich ethnic composition, you must dive into it. It is literally a socio-political barometer, its transformations taking place in step with the changes in Macedonia at large.

The Old Bazaar is the oldest, most historically important and most atmospheric part of Skopje.

It’s very much the domain of locals and doesn’t have the same over-touristic feel as some marketplaces in the region.
