Kosovo and it’s still a relatively
undiscovered destination, so
now is a great time to visit. Here
are 12 things you should know
about the country:
1.
Where else in Europe can
you still get a beer for just €1?
Going out in Pristina is cheap
and varied, with no shortage of
bohemian bars and cosy pubs to
choose from. Dine on a tender
fillet steak for a bargain €6, or
pasta with broccoli and chicken
breast for only €4.50.
2.
Pristina’s cityscape is
unique: a blend of socialist
architecture and Islamic sites
creates a look you won’t find
anywhere else in Europe.
Inside, most establishments in
the city pride themselves on
their cleanliness – especially
the toilets.
3.
Another major plus point to
Pristina’s plentiful cafes is that
most of them offer free internet
access to customers. Just ask
the waiter or waitress for the
access code and surf to your
heart’s content.
