Car Rental at Pristina International Airport

Airport travel guide

Serving as the capital of Kosovo, the youngest member among sovereign European states, Pristina has been quickly growing in stature as a tourist destination. These are the three best places to visit in and around it:

• Newborn monument. The centrally located monument, often referred to simply as Newborn (and occasionally written in all caps) is a must-visit site for any first trip to the city. Erected in 2008, on the day when Kosovo announcted its independence, it is almost definitely the most photographed landmark in all of the country.
• Cathedral of Saint Mother Teresa. Although Kosovo is an overwhelmingly Muslim country, one of the architectural pearls of the city is this Catholic church. Relatively recently built – it celebrates its 20th birthday in 2027 – the cathedral is named after Saint Teresa of Calcutta who, like most Kosovans, was a native Albanian language speaker.
• National Library of Kosovo. Known for its unique look that some find futuristic, but actually built in the 1980s when it was moved here from the city of Prizren, the National Library is one of Pristina’s most important cultural institutions. The library is frequented by the locals, foreign students, and many tourists, making it arguably one of the most international environments in the city.
