There you will see some authentic artefacts from Mother Teresa's childhood, learn her early days story and be able to pay respect in the modern looking glass chapel on the second floor. We will take 3 hours and 30 minutes from this time by the transportation in route.

This is one of the symbols of Skopje, initially built in the end of 5th century AD during the ages rebuilt by different authorities, inclusive during the time of the Ottoman Empire domination. Beautiful peace of architecture, the KAMEN MOST neatly connects the new part of the city with the Old Bazaar and while walking across the river the bridge certainly introduces us to what we should await for.

Stop 3

The "STARA CHARSHIYA" still looks quite authentic no matter it is functioning during 21st century - you will take a nice walk surrounded by smaller and bigger shops offering you anything from sweet temptations like baklava to traditional proper size shoes or even a flamboyant looking wedding dress! At the furthest end stays the fruit and vegetables market - rich in any season fruit as well as cheap goods, replicas of famous world brands.

On of many mosques in Skopje, Mustafa Pasha mosque is one unique piece of decorative architecture and even more it is interesting with the dramatic story of the local ruler's daughter.

Stop 5
