Before you go
What the guide flags for families.
- Fine with a carrier; the fortress edges and cobbles need care. (Good for · verdict: ok)
- Cobbles and kerbs in the Old Bazaar make a stroller hard work; a carrier is easier there, and a stroller is fine on the flat south bank. (Kids)
- The riverbank promenade and the Macedonia Square fountains keep children busy; the city zoo and the Vodno gondola (check current status) are half-day options. (Kids)
- Kebapi, burek, plain grilled meat and chips suit most children; many restaurants bring a small portion on request. (Kids)
