skopje street art crawl: sun, spray & cheap eats

alright, let's spill the tea on my latest wander.

i just checked and it's 7.9°C there right now, hope you like that kind of thing.

the air feels like a cool breeze over the old stone streets, and if you get bored, neighboring towns are just a short ride away.

*skopje's murals are popping off like a fresh tag on a blank wall, and the locals swear by the hidden café on street x that serves the strongest brew this side of the river.

someone told me that the old subway tunnel is now a hidden gallery, wild.

I heard that the night market near the bazaar is where the best street food is served, but watch out for the pickpockets, they're slick.

here's a quick map to get your bearings:

if you want more info, hit up TripAdvisor - Skopje or scroll through Yelp - Skopje. Local board Skopje Street Art Board has fresh tips.

watch out* for the night crowds, they can get messy.

don't miss the sunrise over the stone bridge, it's a killer photo op. trust me.
