How to Get from Skopje to Popova Šapka?
Popova Šapka, a popular ski destination, is located about 70 km from Skopje, with a travel time of roughly 1.5 hours by car. Here are your transportation options:
- Bus: Buses run from Skopje to Tetovo, but reaching Popova Šapka requires additional transfers. This makes the journey longer and less convenient for those heading directly to the ski resort.
- Car Rental: Renting a car offers flexibility, but keep in mind that the mountain roads can be challenging in winter. Parking is available but limited, and navigating icy conditions may not be ideal for all travelers.
