What To Expect
Nestled in a valley between the Sharr Mountains on one side and the ruins of a hilltop citadel on the other, Prizren is beautifully situated. Flowing through the heart of the city is the Lumbardhi (Bistrica) River, its fast-flowing waters skimming over a riverbed of boulders and under the many bridges that criss-cross the city. From the citadel, the old town spills off the hillside to the cobbled Schadervan Square below, flanked by the iconic Sinan Pasha Mosque and the humpbacked Stone Bridge. With a heady mix of Ottoman and Byzantine architecture, the city deserves its alternative name: ‘The Museum under the Open Sky’.
Albanian League of Prizren Museum [Muzeu Lidhja Shqiptare e Prizrenit]
The League of Prizren Building is part of the Gazi Mehmed Pasha complex, namely the complex of the Albanian League of Prizren. The Complex of the League is an urban/architectural ensemble, strategically located in the old city centre, with special cultural, historical, societal and environmental values. The building is rectangular, intruding on the ground floor and the upper floor. The upper floor intrudes on the outside in its eastern façade. The façade is linear, with several rectangular openings, and a four-gutter roof. The building of the League of Prizren initially served as a Dershane (teaching room) in the Gazi Mehmed Pasha complex. From 1878 and until 1881, the building was used as an administrative office of the Albanian League of Prizren. During the 20th century, the building was used as a residence. In 1968, the building was relocated for several meters west, due to road construction. The period between 1976-1978 brought restoration and revitalization interventions, in which case, to celebrate the 100th anniversary, the building was transformed into a part of the Museum Complex of the Albanian League of Prizren. In March 1999, the facility was entirely ruined by Serbian paramilitary, and a park was constructed. After 1999 war, the works took place in designing and reconstructing this icon of the Albanian history. The works finished on 10th of June 2000. In 2003, the yard of the Museum was entirely redesigned, and the building is now a Historical Museum. The Museum features items demonstrating the history of political developments through the period 1878 – 1881.

5.00i would say that the hardest part was choosing where exactly we wanted to go with tirana day trips. they offer so much, and alket had plenty of information to provide regarding the different options based on the number of days we had based out of tirana. in the end, we did a day trip from tirana to prizren with zeni. we had great conversation the entire day, in addition to the knowledge and guidance we received from him. it was honestly a pleasure spending our day with zeni, and we appreciate him handling the driving (not for the faint of heart!). we would happily use them again if we are lucky enough to do another trip in the area.

5.00Great day tour to feel like you have been to Kosovo. We have been to over 80 countries and this company would be up there with one of the best we have used. Great, prompt communication and very explicit re what the tour would involved. The price was also very reasonable. Our driver/guide Olsi was friendly and very keen to ensure we had a good day. Prizeren is a beautiful town and the people are very friendly. Our hike to the castle was great and the views were amazing. We had a great lunch at a local restaurant. All in all a wonderful day and we would highly recommend this company.

5.00Drove from Tirana to Kosovo for a day. The views along the way were amazing. The town of Prizeren is small but beautiful with historic architecture and rich history. My driver/tour guide, Jetmir, from Tirana Day Trips was a professional, safe driver and knowledgeable guide. He answered every question and shared so much about this beautiful town and some along the way that my trip exceeded expectations.
