Debar Maalo is Skopje’s favourite district for eating and drinking, a charming old neighbourhood of low houses whose streets are packed with restaurants, taverns and bars. Locals flock here to fill the buzzing terraces, especially in the warmer months, enjoying grilled meats, mezze, rakija and local wine late into the night. Relaxed, sociable and thoroughly local, it is the best place in the city to experience the Macedonian love of long, convivial evenings, and a lively hub of the capital’s nightlife and dining scene.
