We walked through the market and simply turned up at the museum, the guide introduced himself as we walked up to the door and just started a tour! I think he will just show people around as/when they turn up. Anyway it was very interesting to be shown around and have an explanation of life as it was. The enthusiasm was much appreciated and the cost is free if you wish but donations are appreciated.

A bit off the center of Pristina, but well worth a taxi trip! We paid total 5e/one way trip. You can get taxi very easily when you come back to city, there is always someone coming with a taxi. We didn't have to wait eve 5 minutes. Nice shops and restaurants! I'm vegetarian and did not go hungry :) We also visited Viva Fresh Market next to Albi mall. If you are not in a hurry I think it is worth going! It's a big grocery shop with some clothes and other stuff :)

I spent an amazing afternoon with my friends where we played soccer and then volleyball. This park has also trials for walking and biking. There is also an outdoor gym , with pull up bars, parallel bars. Perfect place to get active, surrounded by flowers and trees! There are also some park benches. There are so many things to enjoy at Germia Park, it encourages social interaction and physical activities! Fresh air can really help you feel better! This park is an incredible choice, away from stress!

Beautiful mosque from the Ottoman era at the heart of the city. Beautiful internal decorations and external vaults. The architecture, rug, and the chandelier are all lovely.
5. Mother Teresa Cathedral

Pristina’s new cathedral, unofficially named after the famous ethnic Albanian nun, is a welcome addition to city’s skyline. Built in new-renaissance Italianate style, its two campanile towers will reach 70 metres once completed, but building work appears to have slowed down since the venue’s consecration in September 2010. Some €1 million was raised for the building by the Albanian diaspora. While the building is open to public, remember it’s still a building site so say your prayers before entering.

Coming from Western Europe, it's quite rare to see a very modern cathedral - this one was only completed in 2017. It's not overstated but still grand as a cathedral should be. It was very quiet when we were there so a good place if you need some peace. You can pay a few euros to take the lift up the bell tower which is really worth it for a view across the whole city, including the library just across the road.

One of the best experiences a traveler can have in Pristina. Definitely worth the time. My guide was very knowledgeable of both the exhibits and the narrative behind each of them. The museum is essentially divided into 2 parts; the first floor is fundamentally the archaeological history of the nation and the second floor is the political (conflict) history of the nation; which culminates with the 98-99 war against the Serbian genocide and the Kosovo Declaration of Independence. A copy of which is on display. The museum provides a very critical narrative to the last occurrence of genocide that not only occurred on European soil, but was denied by the world for far too long. A story that needs to be told and remembered. While neither is as extensive as some larger museums, both floors present a thorough understanding of the history of the Kosovar people, from 4500 BC to present day. The symbol of Pristina known as the Goddess on the Throne (the goddess of fertility), as well as a few other artifacts, will give all of those who are followers of the Ancient Astronaut Theory a very intriguing case to discuss! The museum is free to enter, but a donation is requested. At least 5 or 10 euros is deserved. Touring the museum will not take more than an hour to an hour and a half, but the lessons taught and learned in it, hopefully, will stay with visitors forever.

USA President Bill Clinton is a national hero in Kosovo. Locals speak highly of him and they should. He has a boulevard named after him and a fantastic statue in his honor. President Clinton was hear in Prishtina in 2009 addressing Kosovars. Kosovars are so friendly and when locals found out President Clinton was my Commander in Chief, they wanted to hear President Clinton stories. Very respectful!
