Štip is a historic town in eastern North Macedonia, renowned for its well-preserved Ottoman-era architecture. Visitors can wander through the Bezisten, a covered market dating from the 16th century, where local vendors sell crafts and produce. Dominating the skyline is the Isar Fortress, perched on a hill above the town; the climb rewards with sweeping views over the red-tiled roofs and the river below. The town's blend of Ottoman and Byzantine influences makes it a distinctive stop for history enthusiasts.
