A very different town from the rest of Macedonia, Tetovo is occupied predominantly by Albanian Muslims—it has a more Eastern feel to it. The beautiful painted mosque Sarena Djamija is its principal site along with the old Dervish monastery, Baba Arabati Tekke. An hour or two is sufficient time for a visit.
Note that the old quarter has cobbled streets, so it is very crowded, and the traffic can be chaotic. 30 mi/45 km east of Skopje.
