A late-afternoon ride across Skopje feels like turning pages in a living map: cobbled lanes of the Old Bazaar give way to the Vardar's broad current daring you to slow down and look back. Cyclists thread between hamams and churches, cross the stone bridge and climb toward the Kale fortress where the city flattens into broad river plain and distant hills.
