Skopje is  near three other capital cities, Prishtina ( away), Tirana (291 km) and Sofia (245 km). Thessaloniki is  south and Belgrade is  north. Skopje is also at the crossroad of two Pan-European corridors: Corridor X, which runs between Austria and Greece, and Corridor VIII, which runs from the Adriatic in Albania to the Black sea in Bulgaria. Corridor X links Skopje to Thessaloniki, Belgrade and Western Europe, while Corridor VIII links it with Tirana and Sofia.
