PRISTINA

The Vibrant, Beating Heart of a New Nation

A city that invites curiosity, here you can explore historic mosques in the morning before diving into an afternoon of bold public art. It is the home of Kosovo's renowned cafe culture, where the macchiato is an art form and every cup is an invitation to connect. Pristina promises a unique and unforgettable Balkan experience.

Tips

What to Eat in Pristina

If this is your first trip to Pristina, start with these classics. Rich with history and full of character, they’re the meals that locals return to again and again - proof that the best way to know a place is often through its food.

€3.00 – €5.00

Speca me Mazë

Peppers in Cream

This is addictive. It’s a warm dip meant for "scooping" with fresh bread. Don't use a fork.

€1.50 – €3.50

Turshi

Traditional Pickles

These are essential for any traditional dinner. The acidity of the pickled peppers perfectly balances the heavy meats.

€8.00 – €14.00

Mish i pjekur

Roast Meat

Usually lamb or veal, slow-roasted for hours. In traditional places, you often order this by weight (kilogram).

€6.50 – €10.00

Tavë Viçi

Veal in Clay Pot

It comes out bubbling. Let it sit for a minute so the sauce thickens before you start dipping.

€4.00 – €6.50

Speca të mbushur

Stuffed peppers

Summer staple. Peppers hollowed and filled with beef and rice, then baked until the skins are soft.

€2.50 – €4.50

Pasul

Pasul

The traditional bean soup (distinct from baked version). A staple lunch served with bread and onions.
