Skopje: Matka Canyon, Millennium Cross & Traditional Village Tour
Overview
This tour is a combination of some of the most famous landmarks around Skopje, like the Millennium Cross on the top of Vodno Mountain and the natural reserve Matka Canyon, but in a different way – we’ll drive through the woods and pastures of Mount Vodno with fantastic views over Skopje valley and Matka Canyon, great spots for photographers.

NOTICE: The cable car does not operate on Mondays, the last Tuesday of the month or when the weather is not suitable (wind, thunder, lightning).
