Kosovo's most beautiful town, with an Ottoman stone bridge over the Bistrica River, the Sinan Pasha Mosque, Orthodox churches, and a fortress on the hill with views over the red roofs. The Our Lady of Ljeviš church has UNESCO-listed frescoes.


In August the town hosts DokuFest, an international documentary film festival. The old town is lively with cafés in the evening. Prizren is about 1.5 hours from Pristina.
