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.

A fantastic little French-style bakery café with a varied selection of cakes, tarts, sandwiches and pastries. Sit down and have them with a coffee or take away. Open longer in the summer months.

Café e Vogel
Run by a friendly local who spent years in the UK, the 'small café' is a very relaxed place for a coffee, beer and chat. It's visited by an alternative crowd of students and foreigners, the two

Latest Pristina Comments
Where exactly is the location?
Editor: We mention the street address to the right of the review. It's in the street with the many cafés running west of the OSCE building.[...]
A lovely place and the service is also great. Highly recommend it! Wednesday, Friday and Sunday is jazz night.[...]
EDITOR: Kosovars! We appreciate your enthusiasm for the Minimax store. But our comments field below is ONLY for telling our readers about your opinion of the place, and not for placing large orders of fruit, porn DVDs or clothing every day. Contact Minimax via the phone number provided for that.[...]
It's cool, and it's fun to do shopping at this market.[...]
Dreadful. If there is any way you can avoid this place - by all means do so. I paid 17 euros a night for a double room with a private bathroom in the second house, in January 2010. My bathroom was really dirty and the shower head can not be attached to anything. There was hair on my bed. The warm shower water lasted only 5 minutes. There is no ventilation of the rooms and the hotel is not smoke free; everyone smokes inside. There's no wi-fi; only one PC with internet was working. I was the only English speaking person staying there at the moment, and the staff did not speak English either. You have to walk for 15 minutes to the closest bus stop. I am happy that the previous comments are positive and I hope I was the only one who had such a bad experience.

Great food, but like all Kosovo restaurants the evening was spoilt by the cigarette smoking.[...]
Best pizza place; I have eaten there numerous times and the food has always been fantastic.

Loove this place, the best chillout spot, especially if you know the people :D[...]
Great atmosphere and food. I warmly recommend a dish called Tave Elbasan - the best dish I have ever had. I am not sure how to explain what is that...beef meat in some sauce.[...]
This is a nice bar in a central location, and if you need to be an English speaking comfort zone this is the place to come, although I prefer trying more 'local' places to immerse yourself in the culture, otherwise what's the point of going abroad.[...]
It's a great store, great clothes, great everything.[...]
Great sushi![...]
Last year we visited the Ferizaj Route 66 restaurant - the burger was so good I still dream about it. Thanks for the good time in Kosovo ;)[...]
