City in Kosovo

Peja

3 things to see

Peja is the gateway to the Rugova Gorge and the Patriarchate of Pec monastery, with dramatic mountain scenery accessible for free from the edge of town. The walk into the gorge costs nothing, and the lively old bazaar in the center is free to browse. Kosovo runs cheap across the board, so Peja pairs well with the capital Pristina and the Ottoman old town of Prizren on a low-budget loop. Late spring through early autumn is the window for the mountain trails.
