What are the best things to do and see in Kosovo, this forgotten country of tourists?
Kosovo is a small Balkan country with ambiguous international recognition: indeed, the Territory is not recognized by the United Nations and many countries. France recognizes Kosovo as an independent state.
Thus, Kosovo is not a tourist country, and traveling to Kosovo is a real journey in time. The capital Pristina is in complete reconstruction and its city centre is under construction. However, many monuments have resisted the war and Pristina can be seen Fatih Mosque Côtoyer Mother Teresa . Another impressive monument, the National Library , offering a very Soviet atypical architecture.

However, it is also possible to see in the city vestiges of various churches having been destroyed by Serbia.
To learn more about the history of the region, the ethnographic museum provides an overview of life in Kosovo and its inhabitants. The city also has several parks, which makes its visit pleasant during the days sometimes very hot in the summer.
Beyond the capital, the city of Prizren It is also necessary to detour: located in the mountains, it is a fortified city with several points of interest. Sinan Pasha Mosque, located in the heart of the old town. The city has a charming historic centre, better preserved than that of the capital.
