Destination Information for Kosovo

While this country remains a relative unknown to most people, the tourism industry in Kosovo is beginning to grow. It is Europe’s youngest country– only gaining independence in 2008– but this curious nation has much to offer. Kosovo’s main attraction is the city of Prizren, with a picture-perfect Old Town and numerous cafes. It is made all the more beautiful by a mountainous backdrop, with a hike up to the fortress Kaljaja providing spectacular views.

In the capital of Pristina, the brutalist architecture incorporated in the design of the National Library of Kosovo makes this building the city’s outstanding monument. Other reasons to visit are the delicious food, impressive street art and welcoming people.
