Discover 79 local hidden gems in Prishtina

At Soma Slow Food there are high ceilings, large windows, and fairy lights, so the proper description would be: It's straight out of a fairytale.

This spot is an art gallery, a cafe, a bookstore, and a place for workshops. They're especially known for their painting and ceramics classes.

My personal favorite thing to get here is Shef, which has tomato sauce, ham, Sharr cheese (from the mountains of Southern Kosovo), mozzarella, and spinach.

If cool vintage finds and good music is what tickles your fancy, head to Servis Fantazia. And don't forget to try one of their many great cocktails.

Farë is a place to drink, eat some light food, play board games, study, or enjoy your coffee, either inside or outside, on the beautiful patio.

The owner, Tolinda, is an Albanian language teacher at my old high school and she is an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to Albanian culture.

If you love an until-late-at-night venture but don't feel like going for the typical club scene (like me), taverna Menata is just the spot for us both!

Here you can find kifle with no filling or with chocolate, jam, cheese and sausage. And byrek or mantia with meat, spinach, and cheese as well.

Taverna Hije is the coziest spot ever! The food is delicious too; they come up with different daily menus and it is usually a meat & pasta lover’s heaven!

La Tarté is on the ground floor of a residential building, one of the several cool bars on each side of it. A perfect spot for a quick lunch break!

The dresses range from extravagant creations with vibrant colors to elegant wedding gowns and some of the shops even showcase traditional wedding pieces.

Way out in the woods of Gërmia park in Prishtina, you'll witness a harbour for sports lovers from all over. I love coming here with buddies on a weekend...
