Hello,
The Bradt Travel guide says that the campsite in the city park suffers from mosquitoes in the summer...Maybe something to take into consideration...This is not mentioned for the other campsites.
However, my girlfriend is from the suburbs of Skopje, and there the mosquitoes are also maddening in the summer...So in any case is a good idea to take a good repellent and some cream against the itching with you!
Have fun in Skopje

If, like us, you arrive on the evening train from Greece, none of the Bureaux de Change are open in or near the Station. The best way to change your Euros into Denar is to go downstairs to the bus station (they are part of the same building) and the staff at the ticket counter will change money for you (at about the proper rate).
Obviously, they will not be able to change large amounts, but you should be able to get enough to tide you over until the morning.
Yes, I LONG for the architecture of Old Skopje (before the Earthquake). I haven't had the chance to see its looks in those times, but I have read enough and seen enough photos to make me realize that it truly was a lovely city.
ps. By the way, Mother Teresa was born in Skopje, 1910. :-)
The residents of Skopje seem to snack all the time. Apart from the excellent and relatively inexpensive restuarants (see other tips), there are bakeries and small stalls everywhere selling burek and many other delicious things, both sweet and savoury. Burek is basically a cross between bread and pastry and comes in many shapes, but predominantly round (see photo).
The burek are very inexpensive and are filling - ideal if you are on a tight budget.
For those not familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet, the sign for a burek stall looks like "bUPEK" in roman script.
I did have a picture here but it appears, as I was told by several helpful VTers that it was of a gevrek and not a burek, so I have removed it. May I say that a Gevrek (a round bread affair) is also very tasty. I hope on my next trip to the region to be able to include a picture of a burek, believe me even looking at it will make your mouth water!
You really must try them - no visit to Skopje would be complete without at least one burek!
The sign outside Cifte amam gives the layout of the former Ottoman Bath -- Cifte is not as large as Daut Pasha -- but the diagram gives you a good idea of the traditional design.
.
On my last visit to Cifte one of the curators talked with us -- I had wondered about a small, unrenovated room [see t-log] -- he said it was a special room for the traditional Jewish bathing rituals. Interesting.
Gradski Stadion (City Stadium) is the one where Vardar and Makedonijan national team plays the matches. I watched a match: Vardar vs Sileks and I did not pay for the ticket. It was free...A football-lover's paradise! :)
