It is a beautiful Orthodox church of Eastern Orthodox ecclesiastical architecture, the construction of which started in 2010 and has been under construction since then. Dedicated to Saints Constantine and Helena, the church will be completed with a 50 metre high bell tower. At the moment it is still surrounded by a fence and we have no choice but to admire it from a distance. I hope it will be open when you go and you can take some nice photos. This church is also located next to the Mother Teresa Memorial House.  Number 2 on the map

If you have heard here for the first time that Mother Teresa was actually born in Skopje, it may have surprised you. Her real name was Agnes Gonca Boyaci born: 26 August 1910, Skopje - died: 5 September 1997, Calcutta.  Although the house where she was born in Skopje is not known, the church where she was baptised has been turned into a monument and some of her belongings are exhibited.

This statue was built on the 20th anniversary of Macedonia's independence. There are many museums, statues and monuments around this centre. Number 6 on the map.

On the banks of the Vardar River, right next to the stone bridge, the museum equipped with sculptures will attract your attention.

The Albanian commander İskender Bey, who resisted the Ottoman Empire, played an important role in the defence of the land with his strategic achievements. For this reason, it is one of the important symbols of Albanian independence. It was erected in 1968 on the 500th anniversary of Alexander Bey's death. Number 12 on the map

The bath was built in 1514 by Halim Çelebi, the teacher of Yavuz Sultan Selimin. Since the bath consists of two main sections with two large domes, it is called Double Bath. This is due to the fact that the male and female sections are separate. It is a building built with monolithic architecture. The arches and the carvings under the domes have been preserved until today. Today, it continues to serve as an art gallery under the name of the National Gallery of Macedonia. The entrance fee per person is 100MKD. If you buy a ticket here, there is another exhibition that you can benefit from the same ticket. No. 11 is the Davud Pasha Bath. The same company operates both under the name of the National Gallery of Macedonia. The ticket you will buy can be used in the other gallery provided that it is used on the same day.

The clock tower, which was predominantly made of wood at the time, took its present appearance at the end of the 19th century, during the reign of Mehmet Pasha, the Governor of Kosovo. The lower part of the three-part building is square and made of stone; the middle part is eight-cornered and made of brick; the upper part has a bay window and is surrounded by balustrades.

It is believed to have been built in the 5th century by the Roman Empire. This castle, which embraced many civilisations in ancient times, has survived many wars and earthquakes in history. You can go up to the castle and witness the history and this view. Entrance to the castle is free. The point you should pay attention here is not to leave your car in the free car park here. Because there are cases of vehicle theft especially in this region. It is useful to take my warning into consideration. Number 22 on the map

This 1600 metre long cable car takes you to Vodno Mountain. I am transferring the information written on the signboard here. It does not work every Monday and the last Tuesday of the month all year round. It will also be closed on public holidays. Opening hours vary according to seasonal times. For November to March:  10:00-17:00 / May to September: 10:00-20:00 In addition to these dates, it should be noted that the line does not run on windy days.

You should not forget when buying a ticket. The journey will take about 10 minutes. Lines run in half-hourly intervals. There are small kiosks on the hill.

It is a Byzantine church built in 1164. It was built with a Greek cross planned architecture. It is worth mentioning that St Panteleimon Church is still used as a place of worship today. The building has a total of five domes, including the main dome, with each compartment having a small dome. The fresco of the lament for Jesus is one of the most important frescoes of the church. However, as a result of the earthquake in 1555, the frescoes were badly damaged and were rebuilt and restored in the 16th century. The distance between the cable car and the church is 5 km, so I do not recommend walking. You can reach this church in the town of Nerezi by car apart from the cable car. It will take half an hour by car from the centre.   Number 26 on the map

You can only reach the monastery by walking through the Matka canyon. It is located next to the Canyon Matka restaurant and boathouse, unfortunately it was closed when we visited. I think it used to be open a long time ago, but it was closed to protect the frescoes and original inscriptions in the church due to the high number of tourists. There is no official information about when it was opened. It has a typical Byzantine style church architecture with its cross plan and trefoil apse. Number 28 on the map

It is a modest, very small city in its own right, built on the foothills of the Shar Mountains in the north-west of Macedonia. Despite its small size, it may surprise you that it is the third largest city in Macedonia. In fact, this city is not even touristic. I will only recommend it for those who have more days on your trip to Skopje. If you have a car, it is 45 km away on the highway named E65 and you can reach it with a 1 hour drive. As I mentioned before, we stopped by because we drove to Ohrid from here and this place was on the way. However, I am sure it would be a big disappointment if we came here just to visit this place. Nevertheless, for those who are curious, you can read the points to be visited and what you should pay attention to under the title of "Tetovo" from the link below. Number 30 on the map

One of the most popular places in Old Bazaar. Here you can eat 10 meatballs on a plate and dried beans in stew. Unfortunately, we didn't like the meatballs as we were quite familiar with this style of cuisine. However, we liked the baked beans as everything cooked in the stew was delicious. In addition, I need to mention that the name of the meatballs here is called kebab, but actually this definition is wrong. Because kebab is a very different dish in terms of preparation, presentation and content. However, prices are as follows: 10pcs meatballs 320MKD, Chopsko Salad 130MKD, Ajran 110MKD. The taste of the meatballs is mediocre, a little too overrated. Maybe you should only eat dried beans here. 200MKD is the price of 1 portion casserole dish. Number 2 on the map

This place has been in service since 1836 and is a place preferred by local people on special occasions. As the main course, meat dishes can be preferred delicious. At the same time, baked potatoes and chicken with sauce are also successful. Tufakia can be ordered as dessert. It is very possible to spend roughly 500-1000MKD per person depending on what you say. Whatever you choose to eat here. Be sure to drink rajika and homemade wine. For beer lovers, you can choose the local brand beers we mentioned. One of the negative points of the place is that since it is an alcoholic place, smoking is allowed indoors. Number 4 on the map

This is a Restauran style place for your evening meals and the square where the statue of Alexander in Skopje Square is located. It's actually a restaurant belonging to a hotel. Average prices of desserts are around 200MKD, beers 100-200MKD, Salads 200-300MKD, Appetisers plates 250-350, medium size pizza types 400-500MKD, pasta plates 300MKD, chicken menus 400MKD, Beef 1400-1500MKD, Fish and Seafood plates 1000MKD around. The food is quite delicious, but this place is more suitable for dinner as a concept and if you want to eat in the evening like us, you can make a reservation during the day here because it can be crowded in the evenings.

This and the following places are now relatively far away from the central location to be visited, you will need to use a taxi if you do not have a rental car to get there: This is a place we can recommend you to try traditional food. There is smoking inside, but we were glad to see that there is a non-smoking section. We ordered "Selsko meso" and handmade wine and were quite satisfied. The prices can be considered normal in proportion to its popularity. You will be sorry if you go without a reservation. This is a place where you will definitely have problems if you go without a reservation. This place is not close to the sightseeing areas, so if you want to go, be sure to make a reservation via the phone number +38978343630 and the website. https://skopskimerak.mk/  Number 8 on the map

If you go in the evening without a reservation, you will definitely have a problem. However, if you want to have soup for breakfast, I don't think you need a reservation in the morning. The fish soup here is famous. At the same time, the casserole dishes are delicious. If you have a car, there is a paid car park. However, pay attention that the restaurant's car park is only in MKD and does not accept payment other than cash. Number 10 on the map

An authentic restaurant serving traditional dishes. If the weather is nice, prefer the outside area to avoid the cigarette smoke. There is an open-air section.
