Description

A “Multi - Cultural” attraction of Skopje. Shutka is a tour of a unique every day. It is filled with smiling faces, loud locals, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, and horses everywhere on the streets. A vivid experience of Roma in the Macedonian everyday. The Tour - Plan 1. Pick up from your Hotel 2. Visit of Shutka, a walk, meeting locals, coffee and a snack 3. Visit of Skopje's Aqueduct 4. Transfer back Eighty percent of Shuto Orizari’s population is Roma. The municipality is the only local administrative unit in the world to have adopted Romani as an official language. There are Roma members of the parliament and high-level officials serving in the government, although not as many as required by the quota system for civil service. The streets in Shutka named after Walt Disney, Che Guevara, and Garcia Lorca are bustling. At the center is a sprawling bazaar where vendors hawk tracksuits, sneakers, and home goods, mostly imported from Turkey and China. Going to Shutka on this tour will bring you a different perspective on life. In this world full of excitement and consumption, some people need good weather and sun, but most of all, they need friends and to be together. We’ll visit the Skopje Aqueduct at the end. A very interesting archaeological site. It is considered that it dates back to the time of the ancient period of the Roman Empire or the medieval period of the Empire, in the time of the Emperor Justinian I, from 527 – 554. That is why it is called Justinians Aqueduct.
