The Balkan war in the 1990s left deep scars in Kosovo and it was only in 2008 that the country seceded from Serbia. Although a turbulent history is still fresh in the minds of many Kosovars, people look positively to the future and to the arrival of travelers who come to discover their green, mountainous country.

Kosovo brings together an interesting mix of influences: Eastern European, such as the communist architecture in the capital Pristina - but also Eastern, such as in the city of Prizren, which was part of the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years. Islamic mosques and Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries alternate, but one thing remains the same everywhere: the hospitable locals are more than happy to see your interest in their country and welcome you with open arms.

In addition to its fascinating cultural history, the country has something to offer that you will hardly find anywhere else: pure, unspoilt nature reserves where tourism is still in its infancy. Hiking enthusiasts can really indulge themselves here: hidden hiking trails in the mountains with fantastic panoramic views over the peaks of the Balkans, over idyllic valleys and mountain lakes.
