Famous as the birthplace of the League of Prizren in the late 19th century, 21st century Prizren is arguably Kosovo's tourist capital. Thankfully, the Kosovo conflict left the historic core of Prizren largely intact and both visitors and locals can enjoy lazy walks by the river, crossing and re-crossing the ancient bridges and relaxing in the myriad of cafes. A late afternoon walk up to the Prizren Fortress allows for captivating views across the city to the mountains that border Albania and Macedonia.
In this film I provide a brief outline of the history of this historic trading city and, of course, the founding of the League of Prizren and its lasting legacy.
I stayed at the Hotel Prior which I would highly recommend for its location, friendly staff and delicious breakfasts!
