Skopje from Budapest is just a short plane ride, quite cheap too. I went there for a long weekend in January, and had so much fun! Macedonian people are very friendly very quickly, music is awesome, traditional dresses varied and colourful (white red and black hues mostly, Beautiful weaving, interesting metal coin-like decoration galore, very unique). The city is full of bright white gigantic statues of historical figures. Sometimes you feel like you are in a monument park. There are great views from plces like the castle, and the canyon nearby. Museums contain treasure trove of ancient pottery and metalwork, even though most places make foreigners pay double for the entrance ticket. Food is great too, especially the pastry things, and, of course, my big find, salep. :)
Instead of a bunch of pictures, I made a short film of my experiences. So, here you go, contemporary Skopje:
