• Your guide will explain Kosovo's history, answer your questions, and escort you on a sightseeing tour of the capital's highlights, including Scanderbeg Square, Mother Theresa Boulevard, the National Library, and NewBorn.
• We will then travel for about 1 hour to Prekazi village to visit the war monument of the Jashari family.
• Our next stop will be White Drini Natural Park, where we will visit the biggest waterfall in Kosovo and the region, the White Drini Spring, and the magnificent Sleeping Beauty Cave, recently opened to visitors.

Free evening.

• Our guide will pick you up from the hotel and begin with a visit to the region's Ethnological Museum, the Long Bazaar, and the cheese market.
• Then, we will visit Haxhi Bey's hammam, a unique 15th-century building that represents the architectural heritage of Peja.
• We will head towards Rugova Canyon, one of the country's top attractions.
• On our way back from Rugova Canyon, we will stop at the Orthodox Patriarchate of Peja. This monastery complex, consisting of four churches, three of which are connected as one whole, was built in the first third of the 13th century (1321-24 and 1330-37). It has been protected by UNESCO since 2003, and for more than 300 years it was protected by a Rugova family bearing the title "voivode."
• Additionally, today's tour will take us to the small city of Deçani to visit the Orthodox Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• We will continue towards Junik for a visit to the Great Tekke.

Then, we will go to Gjakova for an overnight stay at the hotel.

• After a great breakfast, our guide will pick you up from the hotel and begin with a visit to the very popular Grand Bazaar. We will not spend too much time here because we will continue to the beautiful city of Prizren, the cultural capital of Kosovo.
• Once the capital of Kosovo and an important Ottoman trading city, Prizren lies beneath the Sharri Mountains. Ottoman vibes can be felt especially around Shadervan - near this main cobbled square, you will find a great selection of bars and restaurants, as well as the lovely Sinan Pasha Mosque.
• Prizren is considered by many to be the cultural capital of Kosovo - both contemporary and ancient. This mix of old and new makes it one of the must-see stops when visiting Kosovo.
• We will also visit the Old Stone Bridge, which dates back to the 16th century but was reconstructed in the 1980s after being destroyed by a flood.
• A visit to Prizren Castle at sunset will offer magnificent views.

Overnight stay in Prizren!

• After a beautiful day in Prizren, we will return to Pristina, where we will visit the Orthodox Monastery in Gračanica. This architecturally notable monastery, with many frescoes, was constructed in 1321.
• Additionally, we will visit the Bear Sanctuary in Pristina. All privately kept brown bears once lived in small cages at restaurants and were used to attract visitors. Currently, 19 bears rescued from captivity live at Bear Sanctuary Pristina. Here, they have plenty of space, ponds, proper meals, and, most of all, they live in harmony with each other.
