Ferizaj

Ferizaj is a city and municipality in southern Kosovo, located approximately 38 kilometers (24 mi) south of the capital Prishtina. Founded and named after the local hotelier Feriz Shashivari in the 19th century, the city was renamed Uroševac on the occasion of its annexation to Serbia in 1913. Ferizaj is the third most populous city in Kosovo, after Pristina and Prizren. It is the administrative center of the homonymous district. The central city postal codes include 70000, 70010, 70030 and 70040.The municipality covers an area of 345 km² (133 sq mi), including the city of Ferizaj and 45 villages. It is largely an agricultural plain. Its population is estimated at 108,690.

Prishtina

(Albanian: Prishtinë or Prishtina) is the capital city of Kosovo. Preliminary results of 2011 census puts population of Pristina at 200,000. The city has a majority Albanian population, alongside other smaller communities including Bosnians, Roma and others. It is the administrative, educational, and cultural centre of Kosovo. The city is home to the University of Pristina and is served by the Pristina International Airport. The main language you will hear in the street is Albanian. English is widely spoken in the 3 square kilometre space in the centre of town where internationals and those working for international organizations predominate. However, most people from Prishtina, especially young people speak at least a little English so can more than likely get by. Navigating around the city is easy - the city centre is small and walk able.

Prizreni

Picture a charming Balkan city. A city draped along thebanks of a shallow river and backed by towering green mountains, a city linked to the coast and the interior by ancient trade routes, a city dotted with elegant old buildings constructed over many centuries, a city covered by snow in the cold winters and by dust in the hot summers, a city that has seen many different people and rulers come and go, a city that has seen destruction and restoration many times over, a city that has survived and overcome adversity, a city that is now looking firmly to the future. Prizren is this city. As Kosovo’s ‘cultural capital’ with many summertime festivals and the prettiest city centre of the country, Prizren has what it takes to make an interesting destination for foreign leisure and business travellers. This old city with its young population is a great place to visit, be it on a quick stopover en route from Pristina or Skopje to the Albanian coast, or on a longer trip taking in the beautiful mountainous surroundings. Prizren’s delightful city centre is the best-preserved and most picturesque in Kosovo, with a good collection of religious and profane buildings and quaint residential quarters, all within close range of each other. The city’s long tradition of religious and ethnic tolerance is apparent in the close proximity of Catholic and Orthodox churches,mosques and tekkes, many of them hundreds of years old. A full day will allow you to see many of the sights reviewed here,though it’s recommended to call ahead to check.
