Pristina: for coffee lovers, history buffs and budget backpackers

One thing is true about Pristina, it's that there is a lot of coffee consumed here. The streets are filled with cafes and in the warmer summer months, they're packed with fashionable youngsters spending as little as a single Euro for a cappuccino. Unemployment is high in Pristina and all of Kosovo but it seems everyone has spare change to enjoy a cup of java with their friends. Some even have free Wi-Fi. When the weather gets warm, follow the trend. It's called korza, when everyone hits the streets, cafes and promenades to wander aimlessly, enjoying as much of summer before winter sets in. Did you know 53% of the population of Kosovo is under the age of 25? That makes for a lot of young people on the streets, keeping this city youthful!

It's clear that Pristina has its share of historical landmarks and interesting sights. Take a walking tour, the best way to explore the city! Start off in Dardania and head to the Gran Hotel, then UNMIK. Skenderbeg monument is an interesting sight along the way. City Park is the grand finale, a peaceful green spot in the middle of a sprawling city. Many backpackers love Kosovo for the budget deals. It's cheap to eat out, go to parties, shop and travel around the country. Albanians love foreigners as well which is why it's such a safe city to visit. Accommodation on the other hand can be very expensive in Pristina with few youth hostels. A budget hotel is from €10-15 a night.
