Pristina
We shall depart from Tirana and traverse the northern reaches of Albania, whereupon we shall cross the boundary into Kosovo. This relatively recent highway connecting the two countries has become a symbol of strengthening their connection and unity. The scenery will alter from the metropolitan Tirana to more rural and former mining towns. Situated around 260 Kilometers away from Tirana lies the capital and largest city of Kosovo: Pristina. Habited since the Old Stone Age, from the ancient Vinča culture, it is one of the most riveting archaeological and historical sites.
Situated in the heart of Pristina, the grand Library brims with over two million copies of materials, some dating as far back as the 15th century. Its architecture is a prime example of Yugoslavian Brutalism and is a masterful synthesis of Byzantine, Ottoman, and Serbian design, making it a veritable microcosm of the city. Since 1982, the Library has served as the National Library of Kosovo and continues to offer a majestic glimpse into its past.

The activity went according to plan. Our guide Giulio was very helpful and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of the places and also about current matters. We had enough time to explore in Prizren which was very welcome and the guided tour of Pristina was very informative. If you want to see Kosovo, this is a great way. Transportation was also comfortable and felt safe. Thanks Giulio for a great day!

A wonderful day with Xhuljjano into a fascinating and little known country. It was a pleasure learning about Albanian and Kosovan history with him. Nothing was too much bother and the day really flew by. Wholeheartedly recommend.

A really interesting day trip to Pristina and Prizren .. really appreciated the helpful guidance from Skerdi who explained the recent history and rich culture of Kosovo. A long day but really worthwhile - Skerdi made things run smoothly.

This is an excellent tour. Our tour guide is very knowledgeable and in depth with the history of the places we visited. I learned a lot from him. Also, he is very professional and respectful. Time management is excellent; he was able to pick up us on time and drop off near our hotel early. The car that we use has a lot of space making our travel comfortable.

Xhuljano was knowledgeable. I would just recommend being more conscious about restroom breaks, I didn't know where to go aside from the gas station and restaurant

Skerdi was very attentive and responsive to all our questions during the tour. He was very knowledgeable of the cities we visited and gave us all the historical details about it. He was a very good driver too in this rainy foggy day. Happy to have had him as our tour guide.
