Start at the old railway station, its clock stopped at 5:17, now the Museum of the City of Skopje. Walk to Kenzo Tange’s Transport Centre and the long ‘City Wall’ housing blocks, then along the Vardar to Janko Konstantinov’s Central Post Office. Cross the river and climb to the Museum of Contemporary Art beside the Kale Fortress for the view back over the city. Our advice: go in the morning light, and finish with lunch in the Old Bazaar below the museum.
