Kosovo

Kosovo is young, cheap and quick to make you feel at home. These guides cover Pristina and the old stone streets of Prizren, plus the mountains and the cafe culture, in a country still largely off the tourist map.

Kosovo in numbers

Kosovo covers about 10,887 km² and is home to roughly 1.8 million people, with Pristina as its capital. The main language is Albanian, and you pay with the Euro (EUR).
