Now independent, this Bradt guide is 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

"The best, most comprehensive and informative guide book I’ve ever used."

Colin Cosier, Australia

 

 

"I have used a fair few guidebooks in my time and I can say without any hesitation that it stands head and shoulders above the rest.The information is contains and the attention to detail meant that the trip was well planned...and it greatly facilitated my independent travelling. In addition to this, the book has blazed a trail by going a long way towards breaking down barriers and prejudices towards this very beautiful country. As far as guidebooks go, I consider this one to be the gold standard to which other guidebooks should aspire."
