Pristina In Your Pocket city guide
Ugly and mismanaged, Pristina is the city many of us love to hate... it's grey, dusty, and traffic-clogged - yet many foreigners live, work and party here very comfortably, all at very good rates. Travellers who are willing to look further will find some worthwhile sights and some very good restaurants and bars. Last but not least there's the friendliness and curiosity of the delightful locals.The full contents of the Pristina In Your Pocket print guide can be read online here, and if you're travelling soon, you can download a free PDF Pristina guide or click here to order a print guide (if you are in Kosovo and would like to order guides, please contact us by email). The guide is also available locally at hotels and bookshops.

Petar, even though this is not site for politics but we all are aware that Macedonians have serious issues with nationality. I mean, c'mon now, you named Shkup Airport Alexander the Great :) Yes, Alexander (Leka i Madh) was fyroman :)[...]
Kosovo`s Jews who had a luck to stay alive after ww 2, continue to live in Kosovo(part of Serbia/Yugoslavia), accept few families who leave and went to Israel. That who remains, were persecuted/expelled by Albanians in june 1999. Nowadays, unfortuna[...]
Definitely the best and busiest restaurant in Kosova, but you will still be served fast. Well done to the management and all the staff there.[...]
I really loved my one-night stay here. My room was spotless and quiet (at back of hotel), and bed was comfy. Staff were without exception helpful and friendly. The owner even gave me her spare mobile phone so I could stay in contact with friends! Gr[...]
So if you do not have a car, how do you get there? What bus can you take?
EDITOR: Any taxi, or the bus to Gracanica.[...]
Really nothing special. Not worth the trek out there. Prices were for the most part the same as the hypermarkets in the centre. Clothing as well.[...]
Great place, good food, and good wine.[...]
Hi FrankI take it you got on the bus in Pristina Bus Depot?You should have got of the bus before Gracanica and walked.No?[...]
I was refused by 2 different bus drivers of the PristinaGiljan Bus to take me to Gracanica. So the only way to get there is probably a rented car.[...]
Excellent service, great food, very friendly atmosphere, good portions, small menu but fantastic every time. Water and salad always on the house, great![...]
Absolutely superb food, the best shrimps I have ever tasted, every bite was festive. Excellent service, great ambiance. Comparable with top restaurants anywhere in Europe. Bravo! I knocked myself out for €20.[...]
Great ambience, but poor food. The waiter did not know what is cabbage! The meat was half cooked, vegetables not tasty. I gave them three chances, but every time it simply was lousy. Avoid it.[...]
I fully endorse Tim's review above. We paid €18 a head for three courses plus bottle of wine. And they serve pork too. By the way there's nothing wrong with the location - virtually next door to InterEminex - but the actual entrance is not eas[...]
Since it appears as if in Monaco, I THINK that with roaming rates reduced within Europe from summer 2010, people calling your Vala number from elsewhere in Europe should be able to do so relatively cheaply - ie as if calling a French mobile from UK.[...]
In a very quiet area, but I would suggest almost impossible to find without help. Quite close to the InterEminex hipermarket (sic) and there are some signs to the hotel.[...]
