Pristina's city centre ('qendra') is surrounded by low hills with several districts draped over them. Velania, to the east between the centre and Germia park has upmarket housing, the city park, and is best known as the place where President Rugova used to live, and where he now lies buried. Just south of Velania is Bregu i Diellit, better known as Sunny Hill. South of the centre, Ulpiana is the high-rise modern district east of Bul. i Deshmoreve, Dardania is west of it. The narrow roads in Arbëria, the district on the hillside west of the centre, are crammed with the 4WDs of the expats and embassies based here - the area is also known under its Slavic name Dragodan. To the north of the centre lies Kodra e Trimave.
As a foreign visitor, you'll probably only ever need to leave the centre to visit Velania, where there are several hotels, and perhaps Arbëria which is home to some good restaurants. A large concentration of cafés, bars and restaurants can be found in 'Qyteza Pejton' (Peyton city, named after the raunchy 1960s drama serial, Peyton Place), the low-rise area south of the Grand hotel, between Rr. Garibaldi, Bul. Nënë Teresa and Bul. Bill Clinton.
