After the breakfast, start for Matka. We recommend you to spend two to three hours there. A large number of cultural monuments, and great natural treasure is concentrated at Matka. Do not miss the monastery St. Andreja and the cave Vrelo, that was equipped with a lighting generator with the funds from the EU Phare CDP. If you have some time left, you can see Monastery Matka, but you should also devote your attention to the beautiful nature that surrounds you.

At 12:00 hours you should be at the St. Panteleimon monastery in Nerezi, on the slopes of the mountain Vodno. After you have seen the church and its surroundings, you can have your lunch here, or you can choose from among the restaurants in the city.

The period from 12:30 to 13:30 is reserved for lunch.

At 14:00 start your sightseeing tour through the cultural monuments in the city. Go to the its old part, on the left bank of the river Vardar. There, you can visit the Skopje Fortress (Kale), that offers a panoramic view to the city. In the immediate vicinity of the Fortress are the church Sv. Spas (Holy Salvation) and the Mustafa-Pasha mosque. Near the mosque are the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Museum of Macedonia (complex of Museums of History, Ethnology and Archaeology) that hosts the biggest icon collection in our country. In the courtyard of the museum is Kuršumli an (Lead Caravanserai), that connects you to the Old Skopje Bazaar. There you can see many old craftsmen shops, the old houses and, at its entrance from the Stone Bridge, the Daut-Pasha amam (Turkish bath), today the National Art Gallery.

Enjoy your dinner in one of the many restaurants in the Old Bazaar, or cross the Stone Bridge and choose from among the restaurants in the center of the city.
