The Old Railway Station was destroyed by the Eeartquake.
Time of the Earthquake: 5:17 am - The clock in the preserved ruins of the old railway station remained frozen at 5:17 am, the moment that the predawn earthquake turned Skopje into landfill. Today the old railway station is the Museum of Skopje, inside in the garden are many coffee bars.
Take Your Time - Not Rush
by elgin99
In the barzaar no one is rushing. No better place to make you free from the fear you may be late. Bazaar is an oasis in he modern world. Everywhere you will find places for a rest, tearooms coffee bars, restaurants.
And you need time, yourself, because no one... remember...
And Warning!
Not enough money and a woman? Very bad. You will get problems because you will flip out about unique jewels there! Everywhere... a lot of stores!
Not enough money and a man? You will get the same, too... because of your freaked out wife. *lol
BTW, jewels only will sell by weight of gold or silver of the piece. You should ask and ask, look and compare. So, what you need? Of course, time!
A Macedonian Orthodox Wedding
by shrimp56
Last summer I attended this wedding in Skopje. The photo shows some of the traditional elements -- the candles, the crowns and the bread & salt. We were lucky -- it can go on for hours -- but the couple had bargained down to 45 minutes!

The City Stadium in Skopje
by shrimp56
This is a view of the sports stadium from Kale at sunset. It is the white curve on the left. The reason there is only one white curve is because they discovered that the ground on the side near the Vardar river would not support such as structure. The total capacity is 30,000. Be sure to bring a hat, water and sunscreen if the event you are attending is in the summer.
