The 5 Best Concerts & Shows in Skopje, Skopje Region
After belonging to many empires over time (including Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and most recently Yugoslavian), Macedonia gained its independence in 1991, and Skopje, with about half a million people, is its largest city and capital. Despite its age, the city looks quite modern, owing to a massive 1963 earthquake that destroyed 75% of its buildings. Skopje has long been shared by Christians and Muslims, who still come together at the fascinating Old Bazaar, one of the Balkans' largest markets.

If you wonder where to go, follow the basic traveler’s rule - Do as the locals do. The Van Gogh Bar is “the institution” of the night life of Skopje that has been going on since 1986, a favorite get together spot and a quintessential place for good time featuring a cheerful crowd. The program is a busy one at Van Gogh Bar with live gigs of local rock bands four evenings of the week all through the year, leaving the other three days for a DJ, a Latino/salsa dancing night or just quiet chilling. It is a genuinely pleasant if occasionally hectic bar whose longevity is its best recommendation. Weekly program: Monday - Day Off Next Generation (live band) Wednesday - Latin, Salsa Cocktail Night feat. Dj Ilija & Salsa Academy Thursday - Beta House (live band) Friday - Band Off (live band) Saturday - Pece and the Breakdown Band (live band).
