More Info
Kosovo is a landlocked country, bordered by Serbia to the north and east, Macedonia to the southeast, Montenegro to the west and Albania to the southwest. In 2008 Kosovo declared independence from Serbia, after a long and often violent dispute. Although it has been diplomatically recognised by 112 nations, there are still many countries nations that do not accept Kosovan independence, including Serbia and Russia.
Today Kosovo is a great young destination, full of rewarding experiences for adventurous travellers and home to some of the friendliest and most hospitable people in the continent. Kosovo also boasts many ancient historic towns, full of ancient mosques and churches. Pristine is the vibrant capital, a city of cafes, museums and galleries, but Prizren’s old town is a favourite among visitors! Brezovica is Kosovo’s top alpine tourist base.
