Prizren
Beautiful and historic city located in southern Kosovo, situated on the banks of the Bistrica River and surrounded by the Šar Mountains. It is considered one of the most picturesque cities in the Balkans, with its cobblestone streets, traditional Ottoman architecture, and stunning views.
The city has a rich history and has been inhabited for thousands of years, with evidence of ancient settlements still visible today. During the Ottoman Empire’s rule, Prizren served as an important administrative and cultural center, and many of its most iconic buildings and landmarks were built during this time.
Prizren is also known for its delicious food and bustling bazaar, where visitors can sample local specialties such as baklava, burek, and traditional grilled meats. The city is home to numerous festivals and events throughout the year, including the Prizren Documentary Film Festival and the Prizren Ethnographic Festival.
