As the capital of the nation, Skopje is where the main events happen in modern times, but peel back the covering of modern buildings and a rich historic city will reveal itself, with plenty for school groups to explore.

Diversity is what makes Skopje so appealing. As a mid-sized European city, it is easy to make your way around the sites, particularly the old city centre. Here you will find ancient ruins, Ottoman architecture, Byzantine relics, a fortress that has defended the city for over 1,500 years, and so much more. Students can spend time in the historic bazaar that has been the hub of trade since the 12th century before making their way past glorious churches and mosques to reach a local restaurant for a traditional Balkan meal.
