Prizren

Prizren was my favorite city that we visited in Kosovo.  It’s one of Kosovo’s largest cities and it has a great deal of old world charm.  It’s easy to walk around and see the sites and it’s best to eat your tasty Albanian lunch along the river, preferably in the sun.

Gazi Mehmet Pasha Hammam or Old Turkish Baths

Climbing to the fortress is definitely worth it, especially if you can catch it at sunset.  Be forewarned that it’s a steep climb!  But it provides great views of the city and the mountains.

Bistrica River
We ate at the cafe with the red umbrellas on the left by the river.

The picture below reminded me of something out of a James Bond movie.  The red and white striped building used to run the dam (which I don’t think is in service anymore) and the blue and white striped building is a sports center.

Communist Era?

Thanks to the film student who caught this artsy picture of us.
