Millennium Cross & Mount Vodno
Милениумски крст / Водно
A 66-meter giant cross on the summit of Mount Vodno. Take the cable car up for views over the Skopje Basin and the surrounding mountains.
The Millennium Cross was completed in 2002 to commemorate two thousand years of Christianity in the region. It stands 66 meters tall, is lit up at night, and can be seen from many parts of the city. Mount Vodno rises to 1,066 meters. A cable car from Sredno Vodno takes about 10 minutes to reach the summit; it is often closed on Mondays, and a round-trip ticket costs about 100 denars. You can also hike up in about 2 hours. The summit has a restaurant with views over the whole of Skopje and the Shar Mountains. From the city centre, a taxi to the cable car station takes about 15 minutes.
