What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Pristina, Pristina
We shall depart from Tirana and traverse the northern reaches of Albania, whereupon we shall cross the boundary into Kosovo. This relatively recent highway connecting the two countries has become a symbol of strengthening their connection and unity. The scenery will alter from the metropolitan Tirana to more rural and former mining towns. Situated around 260 Kilometers away from Tirana lies the capital and largest city of Kosovo: Pristina. Habited since the Old Stone Age, from the ancient Vinča culture, it is one of the most riveting archaeological and historical sites.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Pjetër Bogdani, Prishtina
Situated in the heart of Pristina, the grand Library brims with over two million copies of materials, some dating as far back as the 15th century. Its architecture is a prime example of Yugoslavian Brutalism and is a masterful synthesis of Byzantine, Ottoman, and Serbian design, making it a veritable microcosm of the city. Since 1982, the Library has served as the National Library of Kosovo and continues to offer a majestic glimpse into its past.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Newborn Monument, Rr. Luan Haradinaj, Pristina Kosovo
Discover the bustling city center of Pristina. Immerse yourself in its cultural heritage, admiring the iconic monument of Newborn and the magnificent Mother Theresa Cathedral.

The road to Kosovo goes through the mountainous Albanians North, some exquisite panoramic views to enjoy while driving on a really good highway. We made some extra stops like in Drini Valley which wasn't part of the tour , we really appreciate the guides extra effort.
