skopje street art crawl: sun, spray & cheap eats

alright, let's spill the tea on my latest wander.

i just checked and it's 7.9°C there right now, hope you like that kind of thing.

the air feels like a cool breeze over the old stone streets, and if you get bored, neighboring towns are just a short ride away.

if you want more info, hit up TripAdvisor - Skopje or scroll through Yelp - Skopje. Local board Skopje Street Art Board has fresh tips.

don't miss the sunrise over the stone bridge, it's a killer photo op. trust me.
