Activity itinerary

Newborn Monument

The guide will introduce you to Kosovo’s best-known symbol of independence, explaining why it was unveiled in 2008 and how it changes design every year. You’ll learn what each transformation represents and why it remains a powerful gathering place for locals today.

Heroinat Memorial

At this memorial your guide will explain the meaning of the 20,000 pins that create the face of a woman, each representing a survivor of the war. You’ll pause to reflect on the stories of women in Kosovo and understand why this is one of the most moving sites in the city.

Museum "House of Independence of Kosovo "Dr. Ibrahim Rugova""

Step inside the former home of Kosovo’s first president, where the museum's guide will highlight Rugova’s role in leading a peaceful resistance during the 1990s. You’ll see and learn the recent history in a cronological order and hear stories of the many international leaders who visited him here.

Carshia Mosque (Xhamia e Carshise)

The guide will take you to the 14-15th century Lead Mosque or Carshia Mosque, named for its once lead-covered dome. You’ll hear how Sultan Mehmed II ordered its construction and how it has survived centuries of change.

Clock Tower (Sahat Kulla)

At the 19th century Clock Tower, the guide will explain how it once regulated trade and prayer times in the city. You’ll learn about its Moldavian bell, Ottoman design, and how it was restored after war damage.

Ethnographic Museum (Muzeu Etnologjik)

Enter a preserved Ottoman house where the guide will walk you through traditional costumes, furniture, and tools from Kosovo’s past. This is one of the city’s cultural treasures, giving you a sense of how families once lived, worked, and celebrated here.

Ibrahim Rugova Statue (Pass by)

Stop at the monument to Kosovo’s first president and in Skanderbeg Square, where the guide will explain their importance in modern national identity. Here you’ll hear how these figures connect Kosovo’s past struggles with its ongoing political journey.

Mother Teresa Boulevard (Pass by)

Walk through the city’s busiest pedestrian area, lined with cafés and government buildings, as the guide points out places where locals gather for daily life and public events. You’ll hear why Mother Teresa is honored so strongly in Kosovo, despite it being a majority Muslim country.

Grand Hotel Prishtina (Pass by)

Next, stop at the Grand Hotel, once the pride of Yugoslav-era architecture, and learn how it became both a luxury icon and later a site tied to darker war memories.

The National Library of Kosovo "Pjetër Bogdani"

Admire this striking building with its domes and steel mesh, as the guide explains its controversial architecture and symbolic meaning. If open, step inside to see its reading rooms and hear how the library was misused during the war and later restored.

Mother Teresa Cathedral

15m
Admission ticket not included

Visit this modern cathedral dedicated to Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta, with the guide pointing out its interior details and symbolism. If the tower is open, you can climb for one of the best panoramic views of Prishtina.
