Country
Kosovo
3 cities and towns
Kosovo is one of Europe’s newest and cheapest countries, with a young, welcoming population and prices that make even Albania look expensive. The cafe culture is strong, the history is layered, and a day’s coffee, food, and a bed cost very little. Most of the draw is free to enjoy: wandering the bazaar and mosque quarters, the Ottoman old town of Prizren, and the lanes of the capital Pristina. Pair those with Peja near the western mountains for a cheap, off-the-beaten-path loop, with spring and autumn the mildest, quietest seasons.
