Bit Pazar
Бит пазар
A large open-air market at the northeastern end of the Old Bazaar, with fresh produce, spices, cheese and everyday goods. It is a great place to experience local life.
Bit Pazar is Skopje's largest and liveliest traditional market. Stalls are piled high with seasonal fruit and vegetables, chillies, spices, pickles, cheese and honey, and there are also clothing and hardware stalls, with prices that are very reasonable. Nearby are many inexpensive grill houses and bakeries. The market opens at 7 a.m. It is busiest in the morning and gradually winds down in the afternoon. It gets crowded, so keep an eye on your wallet. It can easily be combined with a stroll through the Old Bazaar.
