From Pristina you can easily head to the neighbouring capitals. Skopje and Tirana are two popular destinations for the diaspora and tourists. Here is what to know before you leave.

Pristina → Skopje (~90 km)

About 1.5 hours by car via the Han i Elezit border. A good, fast road – ideal for a day trip.

Pristina → Tirana (~250 km)

Via the "Rruga e Kombit" motorway, roughly 3.5–4 hours. Spectacular mountain scenery; plan a rest stop along the way.

Border crossing

Tips
