π The Bottom Line
Skopje has undergone massive reconstruction with the 'Skopje 2014' project, creating grand neoclassical buildings and huge pedestrian squares. The main center is now quite stroller-friendly with wide boulevards and open squares. The old Ottoman bazaar has cobblestones and narrow streets. The Vardar River provides flat walking paths. Macedonian culture is warm and family-oriented, and the city feels safe and manageable.
