The Transportation Center Skopje, or Skopje railway station (Macedonian: Транспортен центар Скопје Transporten centar Skopje, (Macedonian: Железничка станица Скопје Železnička stanica Skopje) is the main central passenger railway station[2] and bus terminal in the Republic of North Macedonia capital Skopje. It was built after the 1963 Skopje earthquake that destroyed the original station buildings, and much of the city. There are 10 tracks placed on a massive concrete bridge 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) long.[3] The station is served by Long-distance trains to Belgrade, Thessaloniki, Athens and Ljubljana, and Express routes to Thessaloniki, via Vienna that serve Skopje twice daily, once going to Thessaloniki and second time returning to Vienna, passing through Belgrade and Ljubljana. The Skopje railway station is 15 min walking from the main square Makedonija.[4]
