A Practical Guide to Travelling in Kosovo

Essential practical information to help you plan your trip to Kosovo.

Currency

Kosovo unilaterally uses the euro as its official currency, despite not being formally part of the Eurozone.

Language

Albanian is the main official language, with Serbian also used in specific areas. English is widely spoken among younger people and in the tourism sector.

Best Time to Visit

Spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October) offer the mildest weather, while winter draws skiers to Brezovica resort.

Getting Around

Buses are the main way to travel between cities, with a good network connecting Pristina to other major towns. Car rental is also a practical option for exploring mountain areas and remote villages.

General Safety

Kosovo is a relatively safe destination for tourists; always check the latest updates from your embassy before travelling.
