Skopje, the cultural, political, and economic hub of Macedonia, is also the nation’s capital and largest city.
It also has many tourist attractions, including the ancient Kale Fortress overlooking the modern Skopje city center, which dates back to around 4,000 BC.
One of Skopje’s most unusual features, and a major tourist draw, is the surprisingly large collection of statues and monuments scattered around the city.
Some famous ones include Warrior on a Horse, the Millennium Cross, Porta Macedonia, and the Fountain of Mothers, to name but a few.
Skopje is also known as a gateway to some of the most scenic places in the Balkans, such as Matka Canyon and Mount Vodno.
