The Transportation Center Skopje, or Skopje railway station (Macedonian: Транспортен центар Скопје; Albanian: Qendra transportuese e Shkupit / Macedonian: Железничка станица Скопје; Albanian: Stacioni hekurudhor i Shkupit) is the main central passenger railway station and bus terminal in the Republic of North Macedonia capital Skopje. It was built after the 1963 Skopje earthquake that destroyed the original station buildings, and much of the city. There are 10 tracks placed on a massive concrete bridge 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) long. The Skopje railway station is 15 min walking from the main square Makedonija.
