Tour Plan
Upon arrival at Pristina Airport, we will transfer you to the city for check-in. Embark on a walking tour of the main attractions, including the beautiful Ottoman period mosques, most notably the Fatih Mosque (1461), dating back to the golden rule of Sultan Mehmet II. Nearby is Pristina's oldest structure, the Çarshia Mosque (1389), along with the Clock Tower, the Monument to Scanderbeg (Albanian National Hero), and the Kosovo Government Building. Don't miss the striking Newborn Monument—a symbol of Kosovo's declaration of independence in February 2008. Overnight in Pristina.
After breakfast, we head to the beautiful Gracanica Orthodox Monastery, founded in 1321 by the Serbian King Stefan Milutin. It was placed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2006 as part of the Medieval Monuments in Kosovo. Nearby, explore the archaeological site of Ulpiana, once the capital of the Illyrian kingdom of Dardania, and later flourishing under Roman rule. Continue your journey through the picturesque Sharr Mountains to Prizren, Kosovo’s second-largest city. In Prizren, visit the Sinan Pasha Mosque (17th century), the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, and the Church of “Our Lady of Ljevis” (14th century), a UNESCO World Heritage site. On the way back to Pristina, stop to visit the stunning Gadime Cave (Marble Cave). Return to Pristina for the night.
After breakfast, time permitting, we visit the Battle of Kosovo Monument, dedicated to the legendary 1389 battle between the Balkan Alliance led by Prince Lazar and the Ottoman forces under Sultan Murad I. Both leaders perished in battle. A short drive from the monument is the Tomb of Sultan Murad I, the oldest Ottoman monument in Kosovo, built by his son Bayezid I. Transfer to the airport for your departure flight.
