Highlights of Kosovo

Things to do: Kosovo offers a mix of historical landmarks and natural beauty. Visit the UNESCO-protected Visoki Dečani Monastery, known for its stunning frescoes, and the vibrant capital city, Pristina, with attractions like the Newborn Monument and the Ethnological Museum. The town of Prizren boasts well-preserved Ottoman architecture and a picturesque riverside location. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy the dramatic Rugova Canyon, perfect for hiking and outdoor activities.

Food: Kosovo’s cuisine reflects its Balkan heritage with dishes like flija, a layered pastry cooked over an open flame, and tavë prizi, a baked dish made with meat, vegetables, and spices. Sarma (stuffed cabbage rolls) and pita (savory pies) are popular, and desserts such as baklava and sheqerpare are paired with strong Turkish-style coffee.

Nightlife: Pristina is a youthful city with an energetic nightlife scene. Trendy bars, modern clubs, and outdoor music events are popular, especially in the city’s central area. Prizren offers a more relaxed atmosphere with riverside cafes and live music performances.
