🌆 Skopje Weekend Escape: What to Do & See! 🚀

Kick off your Skopje weekend with a bang! 🏰 Start Saturday at Macedonia Square – gawk at the epic 28m Alexander the Great statue 🐎 and over 100 quirky sculptures in this "Balkan Vegas" vibe.
Cross the historic Stone Bridge 🌉 over Vardar River to the buzzing Old Bazaar 🕌: Haggle for souvenirs, sip Turkish coffee ☕, and devour tavče gravče beans or fresh börek 🥟.
Climb Kale Fortress for panoramic city views at sunset – free entry! 🌅

Sunday? Hop the cable car (or bus #25) to Vodno Mountain & Millennium Cross ⛰️ – the world's largest cross towers 66m, with epic hikes and monastery peeks.
Feel inspired at Mother Teresa Memorial House ❤️ (her birthplace – open weekends till 2pm).
End with kayaking in nearby Matka Canyon 🚣♂️: Crystal lakes, caves, and nature bliss (1hr drive).

Pro tip: Street food & rakija shots everywhere! 🍸 Skopje's kitschy charm hooks you fast. Total cost: ~€50/person. Blissful blend of Ottoman history & modern flair. 🇲🇰 Who's ready? ✈️
