Ministry of Culture Gallery Prishtina
Changing expos
This is a modest space, one that does not catch the eye easily if you just happen to pass by there but one that holds inside wonderful art. Every few weeks, a new exhibition is curated, a new artist is promoted, and new sensations and a wealth of art are presented to the visitors. This is the Kosovo Ministry of Culture Gallery, one of several spaces in Prishtina that displays visual art pieces by both local and international artists, throughout the year. The Ministry of Culture Gallery space is a glass-enclosed space on the ground floor of a residential building in the so-called “Qafa” (translates as "the neck") area in Prishtina. It is about 10 minutes walking distance from the city center. The gallery operates from Tuesday – Saturday, from 10:00 – 17:00 (it is closed for a lunch break between 13:00-14:00). The entrance is free of charge.
The end-of-summer and early-fall 2022 exhibition is called “Drawings on Paper” by Nurhan Qehaja, an avid keeper of journals. The artwork displayed on the gallery walls and glass cases is a visualization of pages from her diaries. Simple lines, some chance words, delicate and nuanced colour combinations, and contours depict the artist’s experience of space and time. This exhibition, curated by Majlinda Hoxha, is open until 15 October 2022.

Sach Caffé – A daily pitstop
It's the perfect spot to grab a drink; my favorite is the blueberry juice, and to eat a snack. The chicken salad or the Sach Attack burger are really good!

Restaurant Pishat – A delicious encounter
I recommend the “Menu-ja e shtëpisë” or the House Menu. A combination of traditional and non-traditional food comes together in about 10 specialties.

4-shi – Prishtina's unofficial tour bus
One of my favorite things to do once a week is simply staring out of the window of this bus to enjoy these views from a sort of a “zoomed-out” perspective.

Kino Armata – Pièce de résistance
Despite the name being Kino Armata, it is surprisingly not only a cinema. It also serves as a concert hall, a stand-up comedy venue and much more...
