Travel on a budget has always been a passion of mine. I think of it almost like putting a puzzle together but instead of small cardboard pieces, it’s accommodation, food and travel expenses. When you’re looking to travel a city on a limited daily budget, hostels are definitely the way to go! Experiencing Skopje’s vibrant new and old city will have you craving time outdoors rather than cooped up in your hotel. I say ditch the hotel plans, grab your backpack and explore Skopje through hostels! Whether you want to stay near the Old Bazaar or at the foot of Vodno, there are hostels in Skopje for you.
