Prizen, Kosovo

Kosovo

Kosovo is Europe’s newest country, and it’s a small but beautiful destination in the Balkans. Kick-start your adventures in Pristina with a coffee or visit the ugliest building in the world. Then, you can travel to Prizren, a charming city with incredible views from its fortress. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll fall in love with the quirky attractions, kind people and lush nature of this newborn country. Let’s start planning that trip!

When is the best time to visit?

The shoulder months of spring and autumn are the best time to visit when the days are tolerable. In summer, it can be very hot!

Kosovo Travel Guide

Things to know before visiting Kosovo

  1. UK residents can travel for up to 90 days in Kosovo for free
  2. As Serbia does not recognise Kosovo as a country, be careful when entering/exiting through their shared borders.
  3. The recognised religion is Islam, but this is not practised by everyone.
  4. The coffee culture here is incredible. In Pristina, there’s a café on almost every corner. It’s also extremely affordable.
  5. Kosovo uses the Euro, and cash is still very much king here!
