can I get from Prague to Skopje by train, and how long does it take?
Yes, there about 3 connections a day with 1 change (Belgrad) or 2 changes (Budapest and Belgrad). The journey takes 25½-26 hours.
You can find timetables here: http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en
In order to do it cheap via Hungary buy Prague-Budapest here - https://eshop.cd.cz/international/search_cd-mav.aspx
Budapest-Belgrade in Hungary and Beograde-Skopje in Srbia.
All this easy tricks will save you a lot of money...
You can as well go via Austria-Slovenia and Croatia, but it will be more expensive and time consuming...
Visit Vodno. Go up into the mountains to Vodno where you can see the entire city - an impressive sight at day or night. The air quality is so much better up there too!! What I miss most of all about Skopje is the relaxed atmoshpere. I live & work in England & everything is governed by what time of day it is...all rush rush rush! I've spent many hours sitting in a coffee bar with my friends watching the world go by.
In the carsija area of Skpoje you will find many remnants of the Ottoman occupation, as well as the largest mosque, Mustapha Pasha jamiya Walking through this arch into the smaller streets of the old market area.
Bakeshops and theirs products are real custom in Macedonia.
The most popular is BUREK ( a kind of pie filled with cheese , meet , vegetables .....
I'll provide a picture as soon as possible :)
Be understood in Macedonian, don't be a stranger in a strange land!!!
Many Macedonians speak English or German, so it won't be a problem for a dialogue. But it's sure that you will be a lot more comfortable if you know few words and expressions in Macedonian.
The Macedonian language belongs to the Slavic group of languages, and the alphabet is Cyrillic.
Macedonians use Cyrilic alphabet. If you would like to learn it before coming to Macedonia, just click here.
A polite way of asking fo something means saying MOLAM (please), and to show your gratitude and appreciation you say BLAGODARAM (thank you). Your sweet morning dreams are going to be interrupted by DOBRO UTRO (good morning), while coming early after having a great ZABAVA (party) you will usually say DOBRA NOK (good night) to each other. A customary way of greeting a friend is ZDRAVO (hello) and you say CIAO (bye) when you are leaving.
To Macedonia, you will come either by VOZ (train) or AVION (plane) and your everyday trips around Skopje will be made easier by AVTOBUS (bus).
While spending your nights in a DISKO (disco), where the music could be LOSA (bad) but the opposite sex could be DOBRO (good), you might also be compelled to say TE SAKAM (I love you), asking STO PRAVIS VECER? (what are you doing tonight), or saying UBAVA SI (you look beautiful) to a girl.
All those wild parties will probably make you ZEDEN (thirsty) and even GLADEN (hungry). A variety of food can be used to remedy, such as LEB (bread), SIRENJE (cheese), or TORTA (cake).You will learn to fight thirst with SKOPSKO PIVO (Skopsko beer), or VINO (wine). Some other time you might want to order CAJ (tea) or KAFE (coffee) with SEKER (sugar) or MLEKO (milk).
If you have a few hours spare it's perfectly possible to go and visit Gracanica momastery, in Kosovo. By taxi, count on it taking about two hours there and two back, and on spending an hour or two actually there, so you can leave after breakfast and be back in Skopje in time for a late luncheon. The road is depressing (miltary camps, tank speed-limit signs, more car-washes than you could believe, none with any cars being washed...), but the monastery (or nunnery) is wonderful. The only problem is that the Kosovo border police may want to stamp your passport, and if they do it may make visiting Serbia afterwards a bit complicated. (See my thing about buses.) Try to persuade them not to stamp it, or go to Serbia FIRST or something.
