See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: city in transformation and dense traffic at times. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Capital
Pristina centre
Pristina The city is not rich in heritage, but it gives a direct reading of contemporary Kosovo, between institutions, youth and daily life. The city is not a city of the same size as the city of Prizren.
Architecture
Bibliothèque nationale du Kosovo
The Bibliothèque nationale du Kosovo is one of the most recognizable buildings of Pristina, with its volumes, domes and singular metallic skin. Even from the outside, it gives a strong landmark to understand the architectural contrasts of the capital.
UNESCO Monastery
Monastère de Gračanica
The monastery of Gračanica brings a major heritage stage within a short distance of Pristina, with medieval frescoes, Byzantine architecture and peaceful enclosure. The visit requires a discreet attitude, as the site remains a living religious place as well as a monument.
