About this venue
Toše Proeski Arena is more than a stadium—it’s the country’s flagship venue for major football nights and open-air concerts in Skopje. With a seating capacity of just over 33,000, it is the largest stadium in the country, known for modernized stands that keep sightlines clean and the atmosphere intense even in the upper sections.
Inside, the experience is built for big crowds: clear section signage, wide concourses, and amenities that make breaks easy without losing the rhythm of the event. On high-demand dates, the crowd noise and staging scale feel especially immersive, while the layout of entrances helps the flow stay steady before kickoff or showtime.
The venue sits on a key city corridor at Lenjinova, Skopje, North Macedonia. Access to the gates is arranged around the stadium’s outer ring with clearly marked checkpoints; most visitors arrive by car (parking in nearby zones) or by taxi with a short walk to their designated entrance.

About the city
Skopje, the dynamic capital of North Macedonia, blends lively urban energy with a rich calendar of sports and music events. The city is known for its relaxed vibe and warm hospitality, offering visitors a great balance between major shows and everything you need for a short city break. Whether you’re arriving for a big match or a concert, Skopje often surprises people with how quickly you can slip into the city’s rhythm and how easily an entire trip can be planned around an event.
For getting around with minimal hassle, the backbone is the public bus network operated by JSP Skopje, which connects most key areas without overthinking routes and transfers. If you arrive by train or coach, the main gateway is the Transportation Center Skopje, combining the central railway and bus terminals and making it easy to continue toward arenas and stadiums. For flights, Skopje International Airport is the primary entry point, and the link to the city helps you time your arrival so you can reach the gates comfortably and avoid last-minute rush.
If you have time before or after the event, Macedonia Square and the Stone Bridge are an ideal starting point for a walk, while the Vardar River gives the city its distinctive backdrop and a pleasant riverside route. For a more authentic feel, step into the Old Bazaar, where scents, crafts, and local life blend together, and finish with the view from the Kale Fortress for a panoramic wrap-up. In that way, a visit to Skopje easily becomes a complete experience—an event as the main reason to come, and the city as the bonus that stays with you.
