Skopje is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Macedonia with about a third of the total population. It is the country's political, cultural, economic, and academic centre. It was known in the Roman period under the name Scupi. In 148 BC the city became part of the Roman province of Macedonia, established in 146 BC. When the Roman Empire was divided into eastern and western halves in 395 AD, Skupi came under Byzantine rule from Constantinople.
Today, Skopje is becoming a modern city. Home to about quarter of the entire population of the country, it is also home to many different types of people. Besides the majority Macedonians, many Albanians, Turks, Roma, Serbs, Bosniaks and others call Skopje home.
This is my first ever review on Yelp! I want to start off by saying that I have been purchasing airline tickets through Trip Designs for almost ten years now. Since I have family overseas, I travel frequently, and so do other members of my family. Not only we always get the best deals (far cheaper than anything online), but, even more importantly, enjoy very professional and fast service.
On a couple of occasions, I've had to purchase tickets on an extremely short notice (same day travel to Europe), and Sladjana was able to find me excellent deals. A few other times, I had to re-do the tickets, change dates and extend travel - and did so without any issues. The representatives patiently worked with me via numerous emails and phone calls, to better accommodate my requests.
I started recommending Trip Designs to other family and friends about five-six years ago - and have heard nothing but praise.
Highly recommended!
