What is the best way to get around Kosovo?
There are only a few ways to get around in Kosovo. There are no domestic flights and there are no water taxis. However, you can rent a car or motorcycle and drive yourself. Note that if you do hire a car or motorcycle, European Green Card insurance is not valid. It is also not possible to drive cars hired in Kosovo travel to Serbia or vice-versa due to the tensions between the two regions. The bus system is well developed and affordable, but it can be crowded and time-consuming, as well. There is a train service that connects Pristina and Peja and Skopje, but it is not well regarded.
What are some things to do in Kosovo?
If you will be visiting Europe’s newest country, there are quite a few things you might wish to do. One of those is to visit the Newborn monument erected to commemorate the nation’s recent independence in Pristina. You may also enjoy visiting the Visoki Decani Monastery, Kalaja Fortress, or the Gracanica Monastery. Germia Park and the Rugova Mountains are also well worth a visit.
Do I need a passport to fly to Kosovo from the UK?
Yes, you will need a passport that is valid for the duration of your stay in Kosovo. However, you will not need a visa, as long as your stay does not exceed 90 days. Note that EU citizens only need a photo ID card to enter Kosovo. If you will be staying 90 days or less and are staying with a registered landlord (hotel or rental), they will notify the police of your presence. If you will be staying with private citizens, you must alert the nearest police station to your presence and duration of your stay.
