Additional Information

Explore Skopje’s brutalist architecture on a bike. Some very concrete masterpieces were built from the ashes of Skopje’s 1963 earthquake: a post office, a university campus, a railway line, a sky bridged dormitory.

Let me guide you around with the story of the urban utopia that connects it all. I’m Aleksandar, a city walker and a member of the brutalism appreciation society. I have been biking myself around town for as long as I can remember, so I basically know every corner of the city. We will have a coffee in the concrete furniture of the dormitory terrace, send postcards from the burnt post office, wave at trains departing above city level and don’t worry, we will not take classes at the university campus.

I provide the info and you provide the curiosity.

Location
Macedonia Square
Плоштад „Македонија
Meeting is in the main square, next to the central fountain. I will be the girl with more than one bike

Excellent Tour of Brut / Communist Skopje - This was an excellent trip, the bike was good, sights were interesting and not places one would see on an ordinary visit to the city. Eva is very well informed about Skopje and I had a great time. She always wore the mask so this is suitable for those worried about COVID. I highly recommend this.

Lovely tour - A lovely tour for everyone who is interessted in architecture combined with a little bit of history. I had a very good bike and Eva was leading me very solicitous through Skopjes traffic.
