Prilep is the fourth largest city in North Macedonia. It has a population of 66,246 and is known as "the city under Marko's Towers" because of its proximity to the towers of Prince Marko.

The name of the city comes from the Macedonian word "Прилеп" (meaning "sticky") and it showcases how the buildings were first built there, being near one another next to the Marko's Towers.

The main square in Prilep is called "Alexandria", in honor of Alexander the Great. The reconstruction of the square began in 2005 and it was completed in 2006. The reconstruction cost 700.000 Euros and its investor was the city of Prilep. During the reconstruction the monument of Alexander the Great was erected, among the other things.

The most important ancient monument is the old city of Styberra situated on Bedem hill near Čepigovo, in the central region of Pelagonia. As early as the time of the Roman–Macedonian wars, this city was known as a base from which the Macedonian king Perseus of Macedon set out to conquer the Penestian cities. An important site in the area is Bela Crkva, 6 km (4 mi) west of Styberra, where the town of Alkomenai was probably located. It was a stronghold of the Macedonian kings after it was rebuilt in the early Roman period and was at the Pelagonian entrance to a pass leading to Illyria. Part of the city wall, a gate, and a few buildings of the Roman period were uncovered here in excavations. All recent finds from these sites are in the Museum of the City of Prilep.

Niš is the 3rd largest city in Serbia and the administrative center of the Nišava District in southern Serbia. Nis Airport Constantine the Great is located 4 km northwest of the center city. The biggest tourist attractions in Nis are Nis Fortress, an archeological site from the late Roman period called “Mediana” and Skull Tower. Nis is famous for its rich cultural heritage and history.

The main bus station Niš is located in the street of February 12^th Bulevar, near the green market and Nis Fortress. From the city of Nis is away for about 10 minutes of walk. Bus station belongs to the second category of stations. It has many facilities: kiosk, telephone booths, ATMs, restaurants, cafes, exchange office, bathroom, and cloakroom. There are 18 covered platforms. Near the bus station, there are hotels "Grand Hotel Niš," "The Regent Club," "SOLE," and hostels "Sweet," "Happy" and "Sponsor."
