Having survived economically difficult 1990s, dissolution of Yugoslavia and even several wars, Balkan countries have been recovering from the spin and becoming not just stable but also popular for tourism. Alongside wonderful climate and relative availability, they win hearts of travelers with ancient cities, rich in terms of monuments of culture. Today we talk about one of them – Macedonian Skopje.

Travel industry features a lot of long-time firmly established stereotypes: if you want to enjoy shopping session, go to Milan or Paris; if your soul seeks quiet pacification of ancient temples, your path goes directly to Jerusalem or Istanbul, and if after tough working days you are capable for a lazy beach holiday only, find your gateway on remote islands.
