Day tour of Kosovo; Pristina & Prizren from Tirana
If you are planning a Balkan trip, Prizren is a must-see destination you should add to your bucket list. Prizren is considered as the cultural capital of Kosovo, mixing its rich history, incredible nature, religious tolerance and gastronomic delights. Prizren has played an important role in the region as an Illyrian settlement and a crossroad for the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, contributing to the unique architecture of the city. The best way to explore the town is by wandering through the streets passing by elegant medieval houses that fight for your attention. Did you know that The Church of Our Lady of Ljevis is a UNESCO World Heritage site? If you have to choose just one mosque to visit then visit the Sinan Pasha Mosque, rich in arabesque color and pattern. The view from the fortress on the hill above the town offers a great panorama of this astonishing town.
