Tour di un giorno a Skopje nella Macedonia del Nord da Sofia
Descrizione
La storia di Skopje inizia con gli insediamenti dei Traci e la creazione della fortezza di Scupi. La città faceva parte del romano, bizantino, bulgaro e per breve tempo, dei paesi serbi. Gli Ottomani conquisteranno la città nel 1392. Cambieranno il nome in Uskub e il posto si convertirà in una città unica nel suo genere, che sarà chiamata a casa da numerosi ottomani, bulgari e albanesi. Nel 1912, la città sarà liberata dagli Ottomani durante la prima guerra dei Balcani e alla fine diventerà parte del paese serbo. Durante le due guerre mondiali verrà infine dato al paese bulgaro, prima che alla fine diventi parte e una capitale della Federazione macedone nella repubblica socialista jugoslava. La città inizierà a crescere rapidamente in modo economico e industriale. Purtroppo un enorme terremoto nel 1963 ha distrutto una parte enorme della città, lasciando oltre 100.000 persone senza case.

Itinerario
Tipica strada nel vecchio bazar Il vecchio bazar è un bazar situato a Skopje, situato sulla riva orientale del fiume Vardar, che si estende dal Ponte di Pietra al Bit-Pazar e dalla Fortezza di Skopje al fiume Serava. Il vecchio bazar cade principalmente entro i confini del comune di Čair, ma una parte di esso si trova nel comune di Centar. Come uno dei mercati più antichi e più grandi dei Balcani, è stato il centro commerciale e commerciale di Skopje almeno dal XII secolo.
Il ponte è considerato un simbolo di Skopje ed è l'elemento principale dello stemma della città, che a sua volta è incorporato nella bandiera della città. Il ponte di pietra collega piazza Macedonia, nel centro di Skopje, al vecchio bazar.
Una gigantesca statua di bronzo alta 29 metri dell'antico re guerriero, Filippo di Macedonia, è stata eretta martedì nel cuore della capitale macedone Skopje in mezzo a una folla di spettatori festanti.
Fontana e statue raffiguranti le Madri di Macedonia sono state costruite di fronte al monumento del Guerriero
La Madre Teresa Memorial House è dedicata al premio umanitario e Nobel per la pace Madre Teresa si trova nella sua città natale Skopje, in Macedonia, dove visse dal 1910 al 1928. La casa commemorativa fu costruita sulla famosa via Macedonia nel comune di Centar , proprio nel luogo dove un tempo si trovava il Sacro Cuore di Gesù Chiesa Cattolica Romana, dove Madre Teresa fu battezzata. Si trova appena ad est del Palazzo Ristiḱ e della Piazza Macedonia. Nelle prime tre settimane, la casa commemorativa è stata visitata da 12.000 persone

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!

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
