We will continue our tour towards Prizren, considered as the cultural capital of Kosovo, mixing its rich history, incredible nature, religious tolerance and gastronomic delights. Prizren has played an important role in the region as an Illyrian settlement and a crossroad for the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, contributing to the unique architecture of the city. The river flows through the heart of the old town and under the many bridges that crisscross the city. If you are looking to experience a lively international experience you should visit Prizren during August when the medieval city becomes home to one of the most famous short film festivals in the world named Dokufest. The best way to explore the town is by wandering through the streets passing by elegant medieval houses that fight for your attention. Filigree artisanal techniques for precious metals are Prizren’s joy and pride

This is an excellent way to see Prizren in a day, from Tirana. Our guide Sokol was very friendly, kind and knowledgeable. He picked us up exactly on time in a comfortable, clean and smart car. It took approximately two and a half hours to get to Prizren and we stopped on the way to have a coffee at a nice cafe overlooking a river. In Prizren, Sokol took us to the cultural and historical highlights and provided ample information. The tour went at our own pace and we were able to spend exactly how long we wanted in each place. We ended up spending around 4 and a half hours in Prizren. It was a great introduction to Kosovan history and culture. 100% recommend!This was a whole day tour. My driver and tour guide Armando was great. He showed me around Prizren, tasted Turkish coffee and some local bread. Also we went to the Archaeological Museum.

This is a must do trip. After contacting Choose Balkans, they were able to offer this trip, for a small supplement, from our hotel in Durres. We were the only people on our trip, and our guide / driver was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about both Albania and the Prizren region of Kosovo. On arrival in Prizren, he escorted us around the main features of the old town, including taking us up to the large castle which gave amazing views of both the city and Balkan mountains. This is a worth doing trip. Thanks for an excellent experience!Day Tour of Prizren from Tirana. We booked a one day tour of Prizren from Tirana with Choose Balkans.
