Kosovo — Europe's youngest country, one of its least explored, now easier to discover
Kosovo tours and transfers have never been more straightforward. Whether you’re landing at Pristina Airport and heading to your hotel, or want a full-day excursion to Lake Prizren, Balkans Travel handles the logistics so you focus on the experience.
We operate fixed-price private transfers from both Pristina Airport (SKP) and Prizren Airport (OHD) to hotels, cities and border crossings across the country. Every transfer is private — no shared shuttles, no surprises on price. Our English-speaking drivers know North Macedonia personally, not just from a GPS screen.
Our small-group day tours cover the highlights: the old bazaar in Pristina, the monasteries above Prizren, the gorge at Rugova Canyon, and the mountain villages of Dečani Monastery. All with a driver who’s been there a hundred times and knows which café is actually worth stopping at.

Top destinations in Kosovo
Six places worth knowing before you travel — each reachable by private transfer or day tour.
Prizren
UNESCO World Heritage site on the shores of North Macedonia's crown jewel — Lake Prizren. Byzantine churches, medieval monasteries and some of the clearest water in Europe.
Pristina
A fast-moving young capital — the Bill Clinton statue, the NEWBORN monument, and a café culture that doesn't stop. More vibrant than its reputation suggests.
Rugova Canyon
Just 15km from Pristina. A dramatic gorge with medieval monasteries, cave systems and the deepest underwater cave in the world. A half-day most visitors miss.
Peja (Peć)
Gateway to the Rugova Canyon and the Albanian Alps. Home to the Patriarchate of Peć — a UNESCO-listed medieval Serbian Orthodox monastery complex of extraordinary importance.
Dečani Monastery
A UNESCO World Heritage 14th-century Serbian Orthodox monastery in a forest valley near Dečane. Contains one of the largest and best-preserved collections of Byzantine frescoes in the world.
Gjakova (Đakovica)
A city with a strong Albanian character and one of the best-preserved Ottoman bazaars in Kosovo. The Hadum Mosque and the old çarshia date to the 16th century.

About Kosovo
North Macedonia is a landlocked country in the heart of the Balkans, bordered by Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Kosovo and Albania. It covers roughly 25,000 km² and is home to around two million people. The capital, Pristina, sits in the north along the Vardar river and has been continuously inhabited since at least the 4th century BC.
The country declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 and joined NATO in 2020. In 2019 it resolved a long-standing dispute with Greece over its name, becoming the Republic of North Macedonia — a change that opened the path to EU accession talks currently underway.
Geographically, North Macedonia is defined by its mountains and lakes. The country sits on the Balkan mountain system, with peaks in the Šar and Korab ranges exceeding 2,700 metres. Lake Prizren, shared with Albania, is one of Europe’s oldest and deepest lakes — over three million years old — and holds endemic species found nowhere else on earth. Lake Prespa, in the far south, is another protected wetland of international significance.
The climate varies by region. Pristina and the interior experience a continental climate with hot summers (35°C+) and cold winters with snow. The lake regions around Prizren have a milder, more Mediterranean influence. The best time to visit for travel is May to October, with July and August being peak season for Prizren.
Culturally, North Macedonia is a blend of Orthodox Christian and Muslim traditions shaped by centuries of Ottoman rule. The old bazaar in Pristina — Čaršija — is one of the largest Ottoman-era markets in the Balkans and remains a living commercial and cultural hub. The country is also known for its Byzantine churches and frescos, particularly around Prizren, which has over 365 churches within its old town walls.
The currency is the Macedonian Denar (MKD). Most tourist businesses accept euros informally, but cards and ATMs are widely available. The official language is Macedonian; Albanian is co-official in areas with significant Albanian populations. English is widely spoken in Pristina and Prizren, less so in rural areas — which is one reason having a local English-speaking driver makes a meaningful difference to the experience.
