    I lived there for three months in 2018 and loved it. You mention not having much to explore but I spent many weekends exploring the mountain right next to Skopje, Mt Vodno. Lots of different trails on it with different degrees of effort needed to get to the top. Then if you carry on along the ridge of Mt Vodno you get to the countryside of Matka Canyon which is absolutely stunning. Admittedly not something you can do in one day of walking (best to get a taxi back to Skopje).

    Summer weather in Skopje is awful, its either summer or winter, this summer is especially hot and it reaches 40+ C (104+f) quite often
    Food prices are alright, if you're local you could find some cheap places to eat
    One really big downside to Skopje is the air quality in winter, before covid-19 people had to wear masks in winter because of the smoke and overall air quality
    But despite all the bad things Skopje is a good city to visit and live in, nature is beautiful especially the Matka Canyon in summer!
    Highly recommend it to foreigners!

    Not much to do!!! I was there for 6 months and feel like I barely scratched the surface.
    The biggest con for me is the pollution in the winter from people burning anything to stay warm.
    Also the people who ride around shouting "BUYING OLD STUFF!!" gets annoying, but on the flip side the city has an excellent recycling ecosystem. Almost eerything is salvaged and used. Super interesting and fun place to explore.

    Really nice summary, i like your video ! Although i am a bit confused on the airbnb prices, i don't know how average salary has to do with the pricing. 700 dollars for an apartment is a pretty good deal to me. But again, cheap/expensive is subjective. Maybe for 1 person is expensive but if the flat is shared, i would say that is pretty cheap. And those prices vary from the amenities, location, size etc. And it makes sense that for tourists is a bit more expensive, long term rents for residents are always cheaper, because they stay for longer periods of time. Airbnb/booking listings usually rely on short term bookings, and Skopje is not a very popular touristic place, so i guess they don't have as much guests, therefore prices are more expensive than the usual rent. But happy to know there are ways to go around and find even cheaper !

      @@tamponstring1672 But airbnb/booking is different. For local residents ofcourse that it is expensive, where in the world you will find to rent a decent apartment with the same prices for residents? Does anyone complain about hotel prices anywhere? It doesn't make any sense. I live in the Netherlands. Usually rent for a 1 bedroom apartment, depending where, but if i take the city i live, not Amsterdam, you can rent it for maybe below 1200 euros. Including bills. On booking, that same appartment would cost you above 2000 euros. Becuase you are a guest, not staying there for longer period of time. Same for prices in public transportation, 1 price is for residents, and another one for toursits. You are not able to get discounts on buses, trains, metro etc simply because you are not living there.

      The average income is between 550-650 euros,that is 650 -760 dollars,average rent price is around 250-400, Airbnb price lists mostly rely on short stay bookings plus consider lots of western European tourists pick Skopje as a navigation stop along the way while they touring across the Balkans and Little Asia.

    Beer! I'm in! There is a certain qualitativeness which I subtly detect in countries that are beer-centric. And I believe it has to do with (an intelligent) regard for water quality, as that has an impact on their beers. As such, these countries are likely to give more attention, care to their water quality, rather than ignoring it as so many countries do. Countries without water quality are often health challenging, risky.

    Two to three dollars for a beer seems expensive to me. Of course, if you are comparing it to Copenhagen or Geneva, it is cheap. But, if you are earning 400 euros a month, it is not cheap. In Portugal, for example, in a normal café in a normal city (not one on the beach) you would pay about 1.50 euros. I think a fino (draft beer) is even cheaper.

    weather
    march is called the crazy month, this year was shifted a bit to early april. in the other months it does never get so crazy. Probably the coldest days in the year were in april. winters are cold, but not that cold, and they get warmer each year. summers do get hot. Generally september to december is fantastic. and after april to july.
    cyrillic
    it is strange, every menu is also in english and everyone speaks it, so you don't need it.
    not much to do
    covid.
    flights
    Covid. Skopje was the busiest airport in the region. You have Wizz Air lines that connect you to all Europe for like 25$ each flight. Like probably 40 cities in Europe. People from Albania, Kosovo and the whole region are going to Skopje airport, because it is cheaper and better connected.
    price of flat
    Someone tried to rip you off for 700/month. They heard US traveller and they tried. Lots of poor people trying to profit in any way. Generally 300/month or even less is normal. You can rent a small flat for like 200eur/month.
