Directions & Transport

Getting around the centre on foot, reading addresses and asking for directions, with ready phrases.

Good to know

What our students ask about most in their first months.

The centre is walkable
Macedonia Square, the Stone Bridge and the Old Bazaar are within walking distance of each other. If your dorm or flat is further out, plan daily trips around buses and taxi apps.
Know the address abbreviations
Street is abbreviated "ул." (ulica) and boulevard "бул." (bulevar). The building number follows the street name; "стан" means flat and "кат" means floor.
Buy your city bus ticket before boarding
City buses in Skopje are run by JSP. You can buy a ticket in the SkopjeBus app and validate it with the QR code on board, or use a top-up travel card. More in the bus guide.
Intercity trips leave from the bus station
Buses to Tetovo, Gostivar, Štip and Ohrid leave from Skopje bus station. See the travel guide for times and tickets.
