Must-see attractions

Museum of Kosovo

　　Pristina's main museum has recently reopened after extensive renovations. Displays begin back in the misty times of the Bronze Age. There are some wonderful statues and monuments to Dardanian gods and goddesses, plus a large stone relief depicting a Dardanian funeral procession. 　　Bizarrely, the museum then happily skips some 2000...

National Library

　　Easily one of Pristina's most notable buildings, the National Library, completed in 1982 by Croatian Andrija Mutnjakovic, has to be seen to be believed (think gelatinous eggs wearing armour). It's in the centre of a pleasant green area, one of the few things approaching a public park in the centre...

Jashar Pasha Mosque

Exhibitions change frequently and the gallery space is normally given over to a single artist at any one time. At the time of research,...

Emin Gjiku Ethnographic Museum

　　This wonderful annex of the Museum of Kosovo is located in two beautifully preserved Ottoman houses enclosed in a large walled garden. The English-speaking staff will give you a fascinating tour of both properties and point out the various unique pieces of clothing, weaponry, jewellery and household items on display...
