- Welcome to Part 16 of my Lost in Europe Series. In this VLOG we'll be exploring Skopje, the Capital of North Macedonia. This episode has a bit of crossover with the last one, but with a bit more info I picked up from the tour, and then we'll also check out some of the backstreets outside the city to get a glimpse into life in Skopje.

Those buildings aren’t actually fake, there was an earthquake that flattened the city and these were what the buildings looked like before it. Macedonia and Skopje actually look like they are improving a lot.
Ahh yes, I did learn about that on the tour. Although I didn’t include it in my videos actually
There was also a big earthquake in North Macedonian history proclaiming yourselves as descendants of the ancient Macedonians when infact your a bunch of slavs residing with Albanians who've built more mosques in Skopje than Islamabad..
@@Peterkonto.... go ..... in ..... north Antartik.

That’s not true. Only the theatre and one more buildings were there before the earthquake. Rest of Skopje 2014 buildings are totally new and you can check and compare to old photographs and see the difference.
Skopje Macedonian City looks fantastic and wonderful views of the city Skopje I was born in Skopje now I live in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 I love my city Skopje 🇲🇰🇲🇰👍👌
You loved it so much you moved to Australia lol
Hi Diggy I was 18 years old when I came to Australia how was the Adventurer I've been back in Macedonia 6 times special in Skopje
Me too Bro! I was born in Skopje 🇲🇰 and I grew up in Cair and now I Live in Florida,USA. 🇺🇸
Δεν είναι ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΊΑ.....
Υπάρχει τα σκοπια σε καμία αρχαία επιγραφη?????
I’d quite like to go to Skopje as a future travel trip
It’s certainly an interesting place!
great videos, good to see some explore more off the beaten path Balkan, going to Skopje in about 2 weeks so this is really helping me and giving me ideas what to visit.
Nice one, enjoy! Also abandoned tunnels alongside the castle.. and abandoned Olympic swimming pool, worth exploring!
Nice place , nice people , safe and cheap .
it`s nice but it seems a bit kitch. I heard it was a corruption scandal with those statues. Wasted public money!
Yes very much so! That’s what I heard too, a shame really
Those new buildings almost pretending to be old are quite tacky. Nice they are trying to make their capital nicer though. Seems like an interesting place though.
I quite liked it the longer I stayed. Although I find just little things like the people you meet & your current mood can influence your perceptions a lot!
I think that the some of the public sculptures are very gauche. I beileve that less is more. What I would like see is more plants.
That's the most James Blunt I've heard in about 15 years 😂😂😂
Hope that’s not a bad thing! Got to love a good heartbreak singalong!🤣
@@BenRobson123 😂 is he your go to like?
@@scottmcmurray3233.................. eat yellow.
This country goes into the trans-gender category: Those peope identify themselves as Macedonians, but are actually Slavs speaking Bulgarian. As for the Macedonian culture, you have to visit North Greece to find out.
Bro you should study history
Too much history to remember bro
Whatever any Foreigner says about Skopje or the entire Country of Macedonia they can keep their Opinions for them selfs. You can not really understand the Macedonian Culture unless you are from there or you lived there for a long time. We don’t care about anybody’s Opinion !….
People who say they don’t care about other people’s opinions, usually do 🧐

The sunburst symbol was an ancient Greek symbol that was illegaly appropriated from the Greeks by the Gruevski regime of the Republic of North Macedonia in 2006. The sunburst symbol cannot be used by the Republic of North Macedonia on their flag as it is now WIPO protected, and is designated as an important tangible symbol of ancient Greek culture and history, that is, Greece has copyright over its use, the sunburst symbol was used by the ancient Greeks as a decorative symbol throughout ancient Greece from Macedonia in northern Greece to Lacedaemonia in southern Greece. The name "Macedonia" was also appropiated from Greece by the Yugoslav Comintern and Marshall Tito in 1945 because Yuigoslavia wanterd to invade and annexe the historic region of Macedonia in northern Greece giving Yugoslavia the port of Thessaloniki and access to the Aegean sea. Until 1945 the Republic of North Macedonia was in fact the Vardar Banovina region of southern Serbia. In 1945 Marshall Tito changed the name from Vardar Banovina and into the People's Socialist Republic of Macedonia.
IN MAKEDONIJA ---- EVERYTHING IS MACEDONIAN ! ! !
before 25 centuries FILIP KING, ALEXANDER TSAR ON MAKEDONIJA .
@avelkova5814 Yes, all of northern Greece is ancient Macedonia with its ancient capitals of Pella and AEGAEI and Thessaloniki. Alexander was born in Pella and crowned King in AEGAEI.
@@rafaellagaribaldi9391 ALEXANDER IS MACEDONIAN.
srb djubre .
@@tatjanavelkova5814 Yes Alexander was Macedonian, Pericles was an Athenian, Leonidas was a Spartan, Epaminondas was a Theban...................so what?? They were all Hellenic states.
Haven't you realized yet that, unfortunately, you're wasting your time with those brainless people? They're in their own world, they just don't get it.
You basically just visited the muslim side of the city, hence why you dont like the area.
You didn't add the cheap wonderful food, cheap lodgings, & hospitality, compared to your overated UK!
Its not a matter of disagreement ( the name and flag) , its a known historical fact. come on.....
toss bag
Thank you :)
