Address: Goce Delchev, close to city square
This is how the bus station looks like in Kumanovo.
You can take buses to the border with Serbia Montenegro, to Beograd, to Uzice (near Tara Mountains close to border in Bosnia-Herzogiva, I went here to this Uzice and then Tara), you can take the bus back to Skopje also.

Grocery street store: Trip food
johnsakura Says: this is the best place to buy some food for your next trip. to move on... oranges, yogurts, cakes and bread. bananas. it's fairly cheap.
This are the kind of places people can get stucked for hours and hours. better way to pass is by bus. police jusst enter inside the bus pic the passports, maybe ask some questions and you go away.
Kumanovo is the last Macedonian city before the border on your way up the Serbin Country Prepare to enter right in Kosovo Border also. this road will take you to the last eastern city of Kosovo...
Unique Suggestions: after you hand the passports you still have time to go to the toilet if needed. prepare to pay some money. better to have dinars left both macedonian and serbian.

Well...what can I say, apart from a existing monastery that I didn't see, I don't think you'll enjoy much this city. There's not much to see. Of course like I always say, just for personal knowledge...
Kumanovo is a nice city just one hour by bus north of Skopje. I just went there as a day trip, but it was worth of it. In the city there is no many attractions, except from a nice view from a...
