Skopje Old Town
Skopje Old Town (or Old Bazaar), in the heart of Skopje itself and just off the main square, is a warren of paved, walking streets. The Muslim quarter of Skopje, the streets are lined with shops - jewellery, antiques, clothes, etc - bars and restaurants, and it’s always busy during the day. It’s a great area to wander, full of colour, and you’ll never be short of opportunities to take great photos. It’s on a hill, so you’ll also get some great vantage points. The best approach is to walk through the main city square, and over the old stone bridge. You’ll walk past a lot of imposing statues, including over the bridge and at the foot of the Old Town. Alternatively, enter at the top of the hill, near Kale, and walk down. All photos: Skopje Old Town, Macedonia; 2021, 2010, 2013 and 2008
