A very nice museum and curator that will kindly explain anything regarding the expositions. The exterior may not look appealing but for 100 mkd, you can find a whole exposition on Macedonian history during the 20th century as well as see traditional clothing and architecture from various regions of today's North Macedonia. It's a very nice place that will give you an understanding of Macedonian culture and history as well as a crash course on why Macedonia has certain relationships with other Balkan countries.

Extremely neglected. It looks like as if it had been open since the 70s without any renovation and a cleaning would do some wonders here as well. Don't remember how much the ticket costs but this has been one of the worst museum experiences in my life.

Interesting museum with old dresses, some jewelry, pottery and most interesting for kids, small models of old houses and buildings. The museum is not as new as one in the center and there is no ac but it's worth visiting!

Great museum that it is slightly hidden near the Old Bazar. It talks about the military, ethnography, culture, agriculture and architecture of Macedonia. It is well worth the visit as you can easily spend over 1.5+ hours here. An adult ticket is only 100MKD.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
