Kosovo - Oasis Highlights

There are so many highlights in this fascinating country that it is impossible to list them all here. Our travel consultants will discuss your interests and be able to put a specific itinerary together for you, but below are a few must see’s!

Prizren

Prizren is a charming city of mosques and monasteries dating back to the 14th century. Happily spared (mostly) from both the “destroy the old, build the new” drive of the communists during the early years of their rule in Yugoslavia, as well as the ethnic and religious atrocities that plagued the Western Balkans in the last decade of the 20th century, Prizren has the best-preserved old town in the country by far. It is often referred to as the cultural capital of Kosovo.

Pristina

Pristina is a fast-changing city that feels full of optimism and potential, even if its traffic-clogged streets and mismatched architectural styles don’t make it an attractive place. While the town has a couple of worthwhile museums and galleries and serves as a base for interesting nearby sights, for most visitors, Pristina is where the atmosphere is as much an attraction as any classic tourist sight.

Novo Brdo

Novo Brdo is an archaeological site and was mentioned with its present name in historical documents as early as 1326. Previously, it was known as Novus Mons or Novamonte in Latin and as Nyeuberghe in Saxon texts. The famous scribe Vladislav the Grammarian was born here. Novo Brdo was a metropolis during the Middle Ages, with a massive medieval fortress built on the top of an extinct volcano cone, the remains of which can be visited today.
