Accommodation

Where to Stay in Kosovo?

Kosovo is a growing tourism destination in Balkans and offers a variety of accommodation options to its visitors, especially in its capital city Prishtina.

If you are in Prishtina to explore its historical landmarks and cultural heritage, it would be best for you to stay in hotels that are located in “Qendra (Central)” district since you will be walking distance away from some of Prishtina’s most popular attractions such as Fatih Mosque or Clock Tower of Pristina. If you are looking for a calmer stay, it is recommended for you to stay in hotels around “Velania” neighborhood.
