How safe is Kosovo for women?

Pristina
Prishtina is a very safe place to live, visit, go out, walk. It is the capitol city of Kosova so it has a lot of coffee shops, restorants, bars and clubs that you can visit, and if you dont like that walking around and visiting the old part of the city and the square and the center part is also very interesting. You can visit Old coty of Ulpiana which is very close to Prishtina, but also other cities like Prizren, Gjakova for the old town and also Peja for the wonderful nature.

Pristina
Pristina is pretty safe, been living here and is very quite and safe. You can walk alone at nightime without fearing someone might stalk you or anything like that. There’s cops in the streets all the time so even if something were to happen they would be there.

I took a day trip to Kosovo from Skopje, North Macedonia today with my older brother and his girlfriend. We first visited Pristina, the capital, and then went over to Prizren. Our guide told us that it is very safe and we did not have to worry about pick pockets while in the city. The history here is fascinating and very complicated. I wish we would have stayed for a whole day in one of the cities instead of just a tour, but it was still amazing!

Pristina, Group travel
Visited Kosovo (flew into Pristina) September 2023. It was my friend (female) and myself. We stayed 1 night and would recommend. There wasn’t quite a lot to do and 6 hours the next day was more than enough. There were lots of stray (very friendly) dogs around! Very protective of women we noticed. However, it was very clear that most men were not friendly towards them. Everywhere her and I walked at night there were dogs near us and growling at guys which was interesting. Didn’t really see any women walking at night. Food was really god and cheap! But again, not a lot to do. They all really liked the fact we were Americans (I live in London now). But met some great people on our walking tour. Then we left for Albania by bus.

Kosovo is probably the least visited place I've been to. I really liked it there. This place is not stereotypically "beautiful" (although Prizren is), but it was really interesting to see it with my own eyes.

About Me
Hiii, I’m a violin player and work in an orchestra since 2004. I love travel and try to visit at least a new state every year mostly Europe because it is closer to home and easier and cheaper to travel. I hope to find new people that love to travel and maybe meet up somewhere.
