Kosovo is budget-friendly, but here’s how to save even more:

• Use public transport or shared taxis where possible.

• Stay in guesthouses or boutique hotels instead of big chains.

• Eat local! Traditional restaurants are cheaper and authentic.

• Book attractions and tours in advance to get the best prices.

• Carry some cash (Euros) as small shops may not accept cards.

• Currency: Euro (€) is used.

• Language: Albanian and Serbian are official languages, but English is widely understood in tourist areas.

• Safety: Kosovo is generally safe for travelers; just use common sense as you would anywhere.

• Connectivity: Wi-Fi is widely available, and SIM cards are affordable for data use.

• Local Culture: Be respectful when visiting religious sites and dress modestly.

• Food: Don’t miss traditional dishes like flija, pite, and grilled meats.

Yes — Kosovo is generally a very safe country for travelers. Locals are known for their hospitality, especially toward international visitors.

• Crime rates are low, particularly in tourist areas like Pristina, Prizren, and Peja.

• Solo travelers, including women, often report feeling safe and welcomed.

• Use the same common-sense precautions you would anywhere: keep valuables secure, avoid poorly lit areas late at night, and be cautious in crowded areas.

• Roads in rural areas may be less maintained — drive carefully if renting a car.

• If hiking or exploring nature, stick to marked trails and consider a local guide.

Bonus tip: Learn a few Albanian phrases — it shows respect and often leads to warm smiles and local tips!
