Gordana from Skopje

About me I have worked as a journalist in the best selling weekly magazine here in Macedonia for 17 years. In these precious years, I learn a lot about myself and have met wonderful people around Europa. Those communication skills I am now implementing in my work as a booking agent for bands and artists and as a owner and manager at my company Man and Mountain. Together witg my partner music...

Leaf Cafe Skopje

The most peaceful garden in Skopje

"Leaf Cafe is peaceful green spot by the Central City Park. It's the perfect quiet escape for coffee and relaxing after hitting the bustling main streets."

Yes, Skopje is fun to visit, to feel the frequency and hustle and bustle of the main streets or the most visited and busiest streets and parts of the city. But, after a while, this kind of adventure can become so tiring that I believe every new visitor to the city will want to take a short breather in some quiet place, away from the noise.
There are several such places in the city, but most of them are at least 5 kilometres away from the central city area, which is a difficulty for tourists, especially in terms of transportation.

That's why I recommend this beautiful green coffee place located on the edge of the Central City Park. There, in a green, peaceful environment, in the company of large old trees and the sound of birds, you will have the opportunity to drink your daily coffee, tea or refreshing drink without your senses being disturbed by the city noise of motor vehicles.

Hidden in fascinating green architectural settings, this hidden green oasis is perfect for a quick coffee and a peaceful talk before hitting the noisy city.
