What people say

"The main square in Skopje is right in the city centre. From there you can walk along the river and admire all the neo-classical and baroque. They might look historical and impressive however they were built in 2014 as a try to rebrand the city. Indeed, they brought a lot of attention to Skopje but unfortunately not in the way intended. Skopje quickly became became Europe’s new capital of kitsch. "
"Probably the most photographed area in Skopje, this place is huge. There are lots of sculptures and beautiful buildings nearby. You will find the famous Alexander the Great statute here. A lot of free walking tours start from here and I would recommend doing one (I went with Free Skopje Walking Tours and it did not disappoint) "

"Here you will find yourself surrounded by more modern and corporate buildings, but most notably in its center is the Monument of Alexander III of Macedonia. "

Late 2023 I decided to go backpacking with a friend. 26 days, 6 countries all under 380€. 📍Croatia 🇭🇷 📍Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦 📍Montenegro 🇲🇪 📍Albania 🇦🇱 📍North Macedonia 🇲🇰 📍Serbia 🇷🇸 Ever since finishing university 3 years ago, I have been full time travelling and volunteering for conservation projects. I absolutely love my lifestyle however can't lie tight budget is one of the downsides. Instead of giving up my travel dreams I just decided to become resourceful and find the perfect itineraries that still fit my tight budget and let me explore the world. Before every trip, I spend weeks planning and researching and it's one of my favourite parts of the adventure. However, I know it can be overwhelming and tedious at times so I decided to share my research and my itinerary with you. All places mentioned here are places where I have been/stayed/eaten myself and can give you an honest review. In this guide, you'll find an itinerary through the Balkans meant to take you through 6 countries throughout 26 days following my footsteps. I'll share with you my recommendations of where to stay and what to do as well as a detailed outline of the full cost (accommodation and transport). You'll also find links to the accommodations I stayed in and all the bus/train companies I used. You'll also find a spreadsheet so you can adjust the itinerary to your own needs.
