Skopje, Macedonia (pronounced Scope – E – ah) is a real gem that isn’t widely discovered by many tourists like other Eastern European capitals. It’s a charming city with great culture (incredibly cheap ballet, symphony, and opera!) and architecture. The best day trip from Skopje is a day trip to Matka Canyon. It’s surprisingly close …
