Prishtina Capital of Kosovo
To see Pristina from street-level is best: start off in the Dardania neighborhood. The city is buzzing with its new found freedom and self identity. You won't find many cities in Europe with such an exciting atmosphere. Pristina really is a city where politics, recent history, ancient history and day-to-day life collide. Where stark communist blocks lie next to striking remnants of its Ottoman past. Beautiful 15th century mosques, hamams, clock towers and bazaars are all here to give you that distinctive eastern feeling. Amongst all this you'll find the hustle and bustle of the city's community life, mostly through the hum of the open-air cafes that flank the streets, particularly in Dardania. Sitting and drinking coffee is a national pastime and you'll be hard pushed to get a better macchiato anywhere in the world. And when they're not feeding their caffeine addictions the locals like nothing better than to hit the bars around Rexhep Luci and Peyton, where musical preferences range from dance and rock to hip-hop and jazz. And throughout the city you'll find fabulous eateries selling everything from local dishes to high-class cuisine, not to mention good quality kebab vendors on every corner. It might be Europe's newest capital city, but Pristina is already proving itself in the tourism stakes. A city full of bars, restaurants, nightclubs and a café culture to rival any in Europe. If you're heading to Kosovo, Pristina is a great place to start, and the best place to get a feel for this new country's exciting vibe. And what's more, the friendly locals just love visitors, so expect a very warm welcome. Video brought to you by Travelindex Network and Travel & Tourism Foundation.
