A Journey through Macedonia’s Art & Architecture
Museums, monasteries and the makers behind Macedonia’s art and architecture.
About the trip
Explore North Macedonia’s layered art & architecture story on an all-inclusive trip for a like-minded, international group, traveling in a comfortable 20-seat minibus.
We’ll welcome you in Skopje, where we’ll start grouping up around traditional drinks and dishes.
From there, we’ll head to Kruševo for the Makedonium, a radical fusion of sculpture and memorial that will broaden your horizons. Then we’ll continue to Veles to visit the poppy-shaped Kosturnica ossuary with vivid interior mosaics.
On the following day, we’ll move to Kocani for the hillside Monument of Freedom, where architecture and mosaic art fuse to portray the Macedonian struggle. From there we’ll move back to the capital, where we’ll read the city as an open-air museum: wander the Old Bazaar to the 15th-century Ottoman baths turned galleries, step into mosques and cathedrals, and trace post-earthquake modernism — from Kenzo Tange’s City Wall vision to the sculptural Central Post Office. Contrast it with the neoclassical makeover of “Skopje 2014”, then take sunset views from Kale Fortress.
Expect thoughtful pacing, lively context, characterful lodgings, and regional flavors, so you focus on the ideas in stone, concrete, tile, and glass, and we’ll take care of everything else.
