In Prilep, discover a city renowned for its tobacco production and its close proximity to the legendary Marko's Towers, hinting at medieval tales of kings and fortresses. Finally, ascend to Krusevo, the highest town in the Balkans, a place steeped in the spirit of Macedonian resistance and home to the striking Makedonium monument. On the way back towards Skopje, you may choose to stop in one of the wineries in the Central Part of Macedonia (in the proximity of the Archeological site of Stobi, or Chateau Sopot on the hills by Lake Mladost.

Skopje is one of the world’s most Brutalist cities. On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll find out how the city was rebuilt after a devastating 1963 earthquake that leveled 80 percent of the city, with reconstruction led by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange. You’ll get a sense of the bold architectural legacy of socialist Yugoslavia, and hear how international solidarity transformed North Macedonia’s capital into a showcase of modernist design. The tour starts at the Old Railway Station, whose clock stopped at exactly the time the earthquake struck. As you walk, you’ll encounter striking examples of Brutalist and modernist architecture, from the telecommunications center to cultural institutions that blend folk elements with cutting-edge design. You’ll also see how the controversial Skopje 2014 redevelopment project transformed the city with faux neoclassical facades.
