Pristina In Your Pocket city guide
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.
In the Spring/Summer 2011 edition of
Pristina In Your Pocket we highlight the two impressive war monuments at Gazimestan, just north of town, and have reams of new hotel, café, restaurant and bar reviews.
Those of you toting iPhones will be happy to hear that we'll launch a
Pristina iPhone app in the coming months, containing the full content of the guide.
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.
