Overview
Admittedly, I have a soft spot for this place. Macedonia in general is one of my top 3 countries in Europe. I’ve been in Skopje twice, both in winter and summer and it just keeps growing on me. The city has plenty of character, the girls are amazing, it’s cheap and the nightlife is excellent. I see myself coming back here again and again. Enjoy this Balkan gem.
The Girls
Suzana Al-Salkini
Macedonian girls are something special. They are slim, sexy and chilled. Ethnic Macedonians are mostly brunettes but also get the typical blonde hair, blue eyed girl about. 25 % are of Albanian heritage if you like a darker, more Ottoman look. The great thing is the girls are more friendly than their Balkan neighbours in Serbia, Bulgaria and Albania. Day game and night game work equally well here and you can be fairly direct. The sex ratio is pretty decent in bars and clubs also and most girls speak English. Skopje doesn’t receive many tourists so locals are curious about foreigners. Frankly, it’s a relativity easy place to pick up quality women. If you want to see more Macedonian babes click here.
Nightlife Recommendations
I have two excellent recommendations for you guys.
New Age
From what I’ve seen, if I could bring a date to any bar in all of Europe, my first choice would be New Age. The seating areas are on cool wooden islands over a pond, covered in cushions. Inside looks like a derelict building with Arabic décor, Hookah pipes, local wine and chill-out music. Not really a place to pick up, but the perfect pre-club bar to start your night if you are with friends. A must-see.
Club Havana
An open air fiesta with Cuban sounds, live music & cheap beer. The party vibe here is infectious and it’s wall to wall with cute girls. The clientèle are laid back and it’s really easy to approach as everyone is standing and it’s not too loud. Arguably the best place in Skopje to pick up. Go Monday night.
Getting High
Nomad’s input : Bought 50 grams for €100 (just asked around in New Age). My friend got caught smoking a joint by the police, they let him off, didn’t ask for money and even gave the joint back – gotta love this country!
Law enforcement: There is a special police unit called “ALFI” they drive old ventos golf 2 3 and always they roll in a pack of 3. If you get arrested with a small amount – let’s say 5 grams they may let you off easy.
Where to buy marijuana in Skopje: Best place to find weed here in skopje is just walk around find some group of kids ages 16-23 or so a lot of us smoke weed so the chance of you asking the right ones is 80%. Don’t give the money first.
Skopje marijuana prices: 2$ a gram, 230$ 1 Kilo. The prices get higher 500 denars = around 12$ for 2 grams.
My Skopje Experience
The first time I went here was in 2009 with a Norwegian girl. The locals treated us like family and wouldn’t let us pay for a thing. On my recent trip, the first night was incredible. I spent the night with a blonde bombshell I met on-line and took to New Age. The next day, the sweetheart even made me cookies, then took me on a picnic and lavished me with wine. The second night, I went to Havana and made out with three different girls, one of which I really clicked with. I also had numbers of two other girls I gamed before that night, but I didn’t even have time to see them. Needless to say, I got my flag and the next time I go back I’ll be a busy, busy boy. I love Skopje! South East Asia move over for South East Europe!

Hi nomad,
I notice you were recently back in Macedonia, any update skopje, was it as good as your last trip?
Is it worth me getting online to contact some chicks on any networking sites? Amy suggestions?
Have fun in Bulgaria.
hey nomad,
Awesome site! I love your articles!! I noticed you were recently back in Macedonis, any update for Skopje? as i am planning to be there in 2 weeks.
and Tagged is the best site to conatc the hotties first?
hey have fun in bulgaria…Plovdiv is a good spot (if the students are still about!)
yeah.. will try get around to an update… another good place to pick up young chicas (17-20) is rock bar maracana near Havana. If you’re looking for chicks a little bit more mature (mid to late twenties) check out Van gogh.
thanks bro!
I dont see a city guide for Bulgaria, but last time I was there we got lucky in a place called Alocohol bar/club (Sofia) ….and if the students are still there def head to the smaller city of Plovdiv (but its dead without the students)
Hopefully ill have some luck in Macedonia next weekend
@Simon: Haven’t really done Sofia… Good luck in Macedonia. Some of the girls make out easy enough.. but a fair bit of comfort is required to bed them. Have fun..
Hey Nomad, your analysis of Skopje is a joke! The girls are weak compared to what I just saw in Pristina, Kosovo! Kosovo girls are more sexy and pretty compared to the mutts of Skopje. I’m going to check out Havana this week but if what I’ve saw in the streets of Skopje are any indication of what the clubs have then your need glasses. In addition, Pristina is a real city with activity and modern buildings and great outdoors restaurants and cafe’s. WTF are you talking about that it’s a mess?? Skopje is the mess and it’s so poor compared to Pristina it’s not even close Amigo. Have you seen the square area of Skopje recently? It’s all busted up and a fucking mess. They are trying to renovate it but they don’t what the fuck they are doing. Pristina has new homes and modern buildings all over the place and is upscale compared to dumpy and quiet Skopje. Albanians are stong people with a brain for commerce. Remember, they just told Serbia and the world to stick it and formed their own country! To your credit, you are correct about the attitude of the Albanian women in Kosovo, it’s very male dominated (still) and they women and men do not seem to sit with one another when you walk by the outdoor restaurants during the day. That separation of the two species is interesting to see. I’ll let you know about the nightlife of Skopje to see how accurate your wrap is…..
Well, I checked out Havana and the night club right behind it on a Wednesday night and as I suspected, a complete joke and waste of time! It was a dude fest with a few decent looking girl who are not game at all! They are very young and I’ll repeat myself, NOT GAME AT ALL! Macedonia is the biggest disappointment on my trip (I’ve been all over the world and have been to places this Nomad kid hasn’t been too). Guys, don’t waste your time with this broken down and poor city. The city square is a fucking mess and the country is extremely poor. Go to Pristina instead for a day or two and try and meet girls during the day and take them out at night. The city has energy and is more modern and clean. Skopje is a joke! Nomad gets a big “F” on this analysis!!
@john Morrison i was planning to travel skopje but after reading your comments it really changed my mind what to do u suggest to go to have fun in balkans………….
@naughty nomad any suggestion from your side
@Bilal: I just got back from Skopje for the third time. I had a great time (again), but perhaps I’ve let my objectivity slide because I met an incredible woman there. Unfortunately, some things have changed there. The Art hostel, which was one of the coolest hostels in EE, has moved location to a shit building. Furthermore, the center is being renovated (not my fault Jim). The girls you meet are young – but since when was that a bad thing?
@Jim: Did you check out New Age? This is my number one reason I’m so fond of the city…
i be going to skopje on xmas time and thinking new year?
how is the weather there ? how much money i need per day to live good and have fun ?
thanx
