In recent years, the city has undergone large-scale renovations and reconstruction, and has shown new vitality. Modern buildings have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, reflecting the ancient buildings and forming a unique landscape. 🏙️ The food in Skopje is also not to be missed. Here, you can taste a variety of authentic Macedonian dishes, such as fragrant lamb skewers, tender and delicious grilled fish, as well as a variety of desserts and snacks, allowing your taste buds to be greatly satisfied in a foreign country. 🍴 In addition, Skopje also has rich natural resources and tourism resources.
