Kosovo is the Balkans' smallest and youngest country. Pristina is the hub; Prizren — a 90-minute bus south — is the country's prettiest town. Direct coaches connect Pristina with Skopje, Tirana, Sarajevo and Belgrade.
Kosovo uses the Euro despite not being in the EU. Most Western passports get 90 days visa-free. Note: entering Kosovo and then trying to enter Serbia at a non-Serbia–Kosovo crossing can cause issues — Serbia treats the Kosovo border as administrative. Easiest combination: Skopje → Pristina → Tirana, or fly in and out of Pristina airport.
Yes — Pristina and Prizren are completely safe for tourists. Use common sense in the divided town of Mitrovica.
Can I enter Serbia after Kosovo?+
Yes, but only via certain crossings. If you entered Kosovo from Albania or Macedonia and try to exit into Serbia at a non-recognised crossing, Serbia may consider it an illegal entry. Safe route: enter Kosovo from Serbia, exit back into Serbia.
