This is an old pedestrian bridge build on 10 arches that span across the Vardar river connecting Square Macedonia and the Old Bazaar area. It is very popular with pedestrians and joined by three adjacent bridges which are not as heavily travelled. Another way to enjoy the bridge is to explore the city in the path along the river that goes under the bridge. The bridge has a fascinating history as it was built between 1451 and 1469 dating back to the Ottoman period and still has that old bridge appearance. Interesting fact is that the bridge is considered a symbol of Skopje and is the main element of the coat of arms of the city. It is quite symbolic in Skopje and I recommend finding time to explore this old piece of local history.

- Above shallow narrow River is Connecting between Main Sq. & Old Town ... Many Sitting Area & Restaurant & Shopping around - Intercity Bus /Train St. can walk about 2 km E. or many Buses around

The bridge doesn't have some eccentric design, nor is it flashy. It stiod the test of time, especially after the 1963 earthquake. It also connects to the old side of town of Skopje, and offers great views of the city center!

The elegant arched stone bridge crossing the Vardar river in Skopje links the main city with the older part where the Old Bazaar is located. Being pedestianised it is always popular with locals and tourists alike. Unfortunately beggers have also taken over at the city end and can be an unwelcome sight.

Although possibly 'under-decorated' the old Stone Bridge, spanning the Vardar River, is still very elegant. It offers some wonderful photographic opportunities of itself, the river and the surrounding, impressive buildings along the river banks. The Bridge connects Macedonia Square to the Old Bazaar area, offering a lovely walk from one to the other. While the Bridge can be crowded, we were lucky enough to be there on a weekend, when locals weren't, so it wasn't too busy. I've also read reviews critical of the amount of graffiti on the Bridge. Yes, there is some, but again, perhaps we were lucky and there wasn't anywhere near the amount suggested. Perhaps it is cleaned reasonably regularly

This stone bridge is one of the greatest attractions of Skopje. It is several centuries old and connects the main square with the old bazaar. The centre of Skopje has changed completely in recent decades, only the old bridge has remained the same. There are many buffets nearby where you can enjoy a drink with a view of the old bridge.

This is an awesome stone bridge. It crosses the Vardar River from the newly built side to the Old bazaar. Pictures taken on this bridge will be very gorgeous, in any direction, because the backdrop is beautiful. The bridge is in a truly beautiful part of the city.

This is a beautiful and well preserved bridge across the Vardar River. You will be amazed by the new surrounding and how the historical bridge is preserved. It guides you from the Macedonia square to the Old bazaar. Have a look from the top of the bridge to the beautiful square. Visit duration: 20 minutes. Free.

It's a nice enough area in daylight, but at night, the bridge really shines. Very nice in the summer.

As mentioned in the title, the bridge itself is structurally perfect. I crossed this bridge several times during my stay in Skopje and managed to cross the river without getting wet. "A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle." So honestly 5* for the structure. It also is a great instagram spot, I didn't take any pics but I imagine I would have got around 30 likes
