Why Prizren matters

Prizren is the postcard of Kosovo. A clear river runs through the old town, crossed by a stone bridge and lined with cafes and mosques. Above, a fortress offers sweeping views over the red roofs. In late summer, a well-known film festival fills the streets with visitors. It's a place for slow wandering, good food and sunset coffee by the river.

Talking points

  • A stone bridge crosses the river in the heart of the old town.
  • The fortress above offers a classic view.
  • A film festival is held here each summer.
