Old and new in one city
A 1963 earthquake destroyed much of Skopje, and the old railway station still shows its clock stopped at the moment it struck. Across the Stone Bridge, the Ottoman bazaar survives, while the center beside it is dense with statues and neoclassical facades added in recent years.
What to see in a day
The Old Bazaar, the Stone Bridge, Macedonia Square and the hilltop Kale Fortress cover the core. The memorial house of Mother Teresa, who was born here, is a short walk. Matka Canyon lies outside the city and needs extra time.
