Skopje Nord-Makedonien dagstur fra Sofia
Beskrivelse
Skopjes historie begynder med Thraciens bosættelser og etableringen af fæstningen af Scupi. Byen var en del af den romerske, byzanatinske, bulgarske og med kort varsel af de serbiske lande. Osmannerne vil erobre byen i 1392. De vil ændre navnet til Uskub, og stedet vil omdanne til unikke i sin hyggelige by, som vil blive kaldt hjem fra mange osmannere, bulgarere og albanere. I 1912 vil byen blive befriet fra osmannerne under krigen i den første Balkan og til sidst blive en del af det serbiske land. I løbet af de to verdener vil til sidst blive givet til det bulgarske land, før de til sidst blev en del af og en hovedstad i den makedonske føderation i den jugoslaviske socialistiske republik. Byen vil begynde at vokse hurtigt på økonomisk og industriel vis. Desværre har et stort jordskælv i 1963 ødelagt en stor del af byen og forlader mere end 100.000 mennesker uden hjem.

Typisk gade i den gamle basar Den gamle basar er en basar i Skopje, der ligger på den østlige bred af Vardar-floden, der strækker sig fra stenbroen til Bit-Pazar og fra Skopje-fortet til Serava-floden. Den gamle basar falder primært inden for grænserne af Čair Kommune, men en del af den er beliggende i Centar Kommune. Som en af de ældste og største markedspladser på Balkan har det været Skopjes centrum for handel og handel siden mindst det 12. århundrede.
Broen betragtes som et symbol på Skopje og er hovedelementet i byens våbenskjold, som igen er indarbejdet i byens flag. Stenbroen forbinder Makedonien-pladsen, i centrum af Skopje, til den gamle basar.
En kæmpe 29 meter høj bronze statue af den antikke kriger King, Philip of Macedon, blev rejst tirsdag i hjertet af den makedonske hovedstad Skopje midt i en tiltalende publikum.

The driver and the guide can speak fluent English, which is a plus point. The guide is friendly and provided useful history to the places we visited. I enjoyed this tour. Skopje is an old charmed place, Didn't expect it to be so beautiful!
It was a very interesting tour.Skopje is a very beautiful city,full of monuments.Our driver Georgi Ivanov was very informative and accomodating.He was very friendly and make you feel very relaxed.
Our driver and guide were both very knowledgeable. We really enjoy the day. The mini bus was comfortable. North Macedonia is worth the day trip
I took part in a guided tour in Skopje and it was a truly unforgettable experience! The guide was extremely knowledgeable, likeable and passionate, which made the tour engaging from start to finish. We visited the most iconic places of the city, such as Skopje Fortress, Old Bazaar and Stone Bridge, receiving detailed explanations and very interesting historical curiosities. I was also struck by the balance between ancient history and modernity, perfectly illustrated by the guide. The pace of the tour was well calibrated, with just enough time to take pictures and ask questions. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover Skopje in an authentic and thorough way!
I was very satisfied with my day trip to Skopje. It was well worth it. Georgi was a good guide and driver, however he should tone down his political views especially against the West, and his inkling of condoning Russia in the invasion of Ukraine.
Had an amazing day exploring the wonderful sights. North Macedonia has so much to offer. It was an absolute hidden gem. Our driver/guide for travelling was so informative and the guide we had in North Macedonia was so passionate about Skopje and her country. I would highly recommend ❤️
The city of Skopje, was alot more than I expected. Full of history, shops, restaurants and bars. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was wrong. Stefan was my driver… what a great guy!
They were very easy to work with. We did the one day trip to North Macedonia. Our driver/guide Georgi was amazing. He was very accommodating, knowable, and friendly.
Thanks a lot!
I loved Skopje. What charming and intriguing place. Meeting point for the tour was easy to find. I got there first, and our driver Stefan arrived about 10 minutes before the start time. On the way there, he shared some tips and insights about Skopje. We had 2 restroom stops on the way which was nice to have. The drive was 4 hours each way but it did not bother me at all. The van was comfortable and I slept most of the way. Border crossing was very smooth and Stefan handled it efficiently. Once we arrived in Skopje, a local guide was there waiting for us and took over then. It was a cold rainy day and it was nice of her to take us to a place where we can guy scarfs, umbrellas and gloves etc. before we started the tour. The city has a lot to see, the tour had many stops but felt a bit rushed. She moved on and walked fast between stops , and I couldn’t hear her sometimes because she was talking while walking. But the sound of rain made it difficult to hear her. Before the tour ended, the guide took us to a cafe where credit cards were not accepted. We had to go to a nearest ATM with a poor rate and a high fee to get cash. I suggest taking about $20 worth of cash in Macedonian Denar. If not, always ask if cards are accepted wherever you go, before you order anything. Skopje’s old town was so charming, and felt like a maze. There seemed to be a lot of great food options. Next time I will fly directly into Skopje and stay there for at least a few days! Thank you Stefan and B Travel!
The driver Philip was great and kept us entertained both with history and stories, while driving safely and on time. It takes about 3.5 hours each way without traffic (so 8-9 hours) so without him we'd be really bored and exhausted. We spent 3.5 hours in Skopje. The tour guide there was OK though she had a tendency to talk too quietly and to start talking before the entire group arrived, which, in a loud city like Skopje meant that we didn't hear much of what she said. Skopje is a nice town with a strong Ottoman influence and worth a visit (though honestly not as nice as say Plovdiv or Sofia in my opinion), and I think this tour company is a great way to do that
