Kosovo Day Trip from Skopje: Pristina & Prizren
Cross into Kosovo on a private day trip from Skopje — with free time to explore the buzzing capital Pristina and the beautiful Ottoman old town of Prizren, at your own pace.
Two countries in one day: this private trip crosses the border into Kosovo for the perfect introduction to one of Europe's youngest countries. Spend the morning in Pristina — Mother Teresa Boulevard, the Newborn Monument, the extraordinary National Library and some of the best coffee in the Balkans — then drive south to Prizren, Kosovo's Ottoman jewel of stone bridges, minarets and a hilltop fortress.
Your driver handles the border, the parking and the logistics; you enjoy generous free time in both cities. Just bring your passport.
