Kosovo Travel

The first Kosovo Travel Guide is published by Bradt Travel Guides.

Kosovo is soon likely to become an independent state, making this Bradt guide a must-buy for visitors from the country’s diaspora (believed to number over a million), for the many NGOs there and, as always, for those keen to explore off the beaten track.

Ringed by high mountains crossed by a series of rulers over the centuries, the country boasts Ottoman mosques, Tito-esque administration buildings, Serbian Orthodox churches, monasteries, vineyards and extravagant KLA war memorials. Pristina offers a surprising contrast with its growing number of vibrant restaurants, bars and shops.

• First guide on the market dedicated solely to Kosovo
• Full coverage of the young, fast-growing capital, Pristina
• Tips on living in Kosovo, including cultural norms, accommodation, food and communications
• Kosovo’s ski resort, Brezovica, which offers some of the best skiing in southeastern Europe
