Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Fortress
Prizren Fortress
The fortress of Prizren The climb is quite steep, but it rewards with the best reading of the urban site, especially when light descends on roofs, minarets and bridges.
Historical bridge
Stone bridge
The stone bridge concentrates the most intimate image of Prizren, between river, low facades and passages towards the alleys of the center. The stop is short, but it works as a natural anchor point to radiate towards mosques, churches and nearby cafes.
Mosque
Mosquée Sinan Pacha
The Sinan Pasha mosque imposes its dome and minaret in the heart of the Prizren, facing the slopes that go up towards the fortress. Its location gives a very legible visit to the Ottoman center, to be approached with respect to religious usages and timetables.
