Situated just to the east of central Kosovo is the city of Pristina. Pristina is Kosovo’s capital and largest city and though it does have some tourist attractions there’s not as much here as you might expect. Still, as the entry point for Kosovo Pristina is a popular city and good starting point if visiting this region.
The Museum of Kosovo
Pristina’s main attraction is the Museum of Kosovo. Not only are the museum exhibits good, the building in which the museum is housed is interesting too. It’s an Austro-Hungarian inspired building that was originally built for as the offices for the Ottoman Vilayet of Kosovo.
The Museum of Kosovo has numerous exhibits that span a large collection of archaeological and ethnological artefacts from around the region.
The Clock Tower
The best known landmark in Pristina is the Clock Tower which dates from the 19th century. The original clock tower was damaged by fire and then rebuilt, and then in 2001 the bell was stolen from it. Also in 2001 it was decided that the clock would be replaced with an electric one so that it would keep time better. Unfortunately the electricity supply in Pristina isn’t as reliable as it could be, so the clock is often behind!
Germia Park
Amongst the buildings Pristina does have some open spaces too. Of these Germia Park is the largest and presents a nice place to come and get away for a while. There’s a huge swimming pool that’s really popular in the summer and there are trails for walking.
Flights to Pristina
The Pristina International Airport (airport code: PRN) is the main travel hub for Kosovo, and is located about 10 miles (16km) outside the city. It is a very busy airport, with more than a million passengers flying through each year. There’s just one option for a direct flight to Pristina and that’s with British Airways departing from Gatwick. All other airlines have either 1 or 2 connections for their flights to Pristina, depending on the airline. Austrian Airlines flights travel via Vienna as a connection. For a flight to Pristina with 2 connections, Lufthansa connects first in Dusseldorf and then again in Vienna.Pristina Tourist Attractions
Pristina doesn’t offer the same charm as some of the other capitals in the Balkans region of Europe and though there is an old town Pristina is more of a modern city. Tourists who are expecting multiple tourist attractions and pretty city streets will therefore find themselves thoroughly disappointed with a visit to Pristina, however, there are some things to see and do here. If you prefer a quieter city (i.e. less tourists) then Pristina is a recommended visit. You’re far more likely to get to know the locals and experience their culture here than you are in other European capitals. And there are several things to see and do while you’re here…The Museum of Kosovo
