Bitola's main pedestrian zone, usually know as Širok sokak, is probably one of the most beutiful walking areas in this part of the Balkans, in Macedonia for sure. It is known for architecturally and aesthetically beautiful buildings and numerous honorary consulates. It is a vibrant part of the city which combines both the traditional architecture with modern facilities. It is full of caffees, restaurants, but also museums and interesting oldfashioned workshops. All in all, take a slow walk and enjoy its beauty, you won't regret it. All recommendations!
