If you join Prizren Day Trip from Skopje, we will pick you up at your hotel, at 8.30 am. Then we head towards the border checkpoint. The road from Skopje to Prizren is a fascinating one. Driving through green vegetation, after crossing the border, you will notice the road gets better and it is really picturuesque.
Reaching Prizren, you will find that it is a very beautiful and unique city. This city itself is a stunning city with a lot of churches and mosques. A historical place set on the banks of River Bistrica and the slopes of Mountain Sharri.
We visit the Fortress over the town hill, (appropriate footwear recommended). This 11th century fortress is small but still in decent shape for being so old. At the top are panoramic views of the city as well as information about the history of the fortress. Definitely worth the time/effort if visiting Prizren.
The Fortress has an amazing view on Prizren’s City from the top, as the Bistrica river flows between the buildings & disappears in the Dukagjini fields between the Pashtrik mountains that generates a mesmerizing scene that takes the breath away.
Next, we visit the Museum of the League of Prizren.
The Albanian League of Prizren was an Albanian political organization officially founded on June 10, 1878. At the meeting the Albanian leaders emphasized their intention to preserve and maintain the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans by supporting the “to struggle in arms to defend the wholeness of the territories of Albania”.
It is the Mehmet Pasha Hamam, an old Turkish bath. It is consider to be among 3 biggest Hammam in the Balkans. Turkish bath of Gazi Mehmet Pasha was built in 1573 and it was one of three
biggest Tukish Baths in the Balkans, after Turkish Bath of Husret Bey in Sarajevo and T.B. of Daut Pasha in Skopje.
Next, we will take a walk through Carshia e Vjeter, and admire old architectural buildings such as Sinan Pasha Mosque, St George Orthodox Cathedral, and many traditional small shops.
Later, we pass through Prizren’s stone bridge, between the 15th and 16th centuries, which is on the way to the “Tek Syla” restaurant, which is known for its grilled specialties.
We visit the best places in Prizren, and we promise you are going to love this little town of Kosovo that has everything you need. History, Ottoman architecture, a Castle, beauty, and great food.
