A “Multi - Cultural” attraction of Skopje. Shutka is a tour of a unique every day. It is filled with smiling faces, loud locals, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, and horses everywhere on the streets. A vivid experience of Roma in the Macedonian everyday. The streets in Shutka named after Walt Disney, Che Guevara, and Garcia Lorca are bustling. At the center is a sprawling bazaar where vendors hawk tracksuits, sneakers, and home goods, mostly imported from Turkey and China. Going to Shutka on this tour will bring you a different perspective on life. In this world full of excitement and consumption, some people need good weather and sun, but most of all, they need friends and to be together. We’ll visit the Skopje Aqueduct at the end. A very interesting archaeological site. It dates back to the time of the ancient period of the Roman Empire or the medieval period of the Empire, in the time of the Emperor Justinian I, from 527 – 554. That is why it is called Justinians Aqueduct.
