Pristina, Family travel
I would not recommend solo travel. Its a safe space for families tho! Very nice people. You should know a local to show around, that would make it safer. Pristina mall was very fun with lots of activities!

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.

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!

Prishtina is a very safe place , where you can joy alone time without having to worry about any kind of risk People are very friendly and always ready to help in any case There is almost no reason to have fear of walking alone.

It's a very safe city and people help if they see you being harrased or something, though the chances of that happening are low. But it's never bad to be precautious. I have lived here my entire life and i've only once been touched inappropiately by a guy, and the people around didn't hesitate to help right away.

Istog is a very peacful city that lies in the north of Kosovo. It has a lot of villages in it and it is sorrounded by high beautiful mountains,it also it's own source of water from the mountains which is a place you can visit called "Burimi". Overall the people are quiet and very friendly.
