Bradt Travel Guide to Kosovo
The following comes from Geil Warrander, one of the authors of the first travel guide dedicated solely to Kosovo.
Bradt guides has just produced the first ever English language travel guide dedicated solely to Kosovo. Bradt are one of the world’s most respected guide book publishers and already have guides to other places in the region - Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Albania, Hungary, Macedonia and Montenegro and City guides to Belgrade, Dubrovnik, Budapest and Llubijana.
The Kosovo guide is more than 240 pages long
19 maps including detailed town maps of Prizren, Gjilan, Gjakova, Mitrovica, Pristina x2, Peja and Decan and walking maps of Germia and Zubin Potok
walks in Strpce, Dragash and Zubin Potok
everything you wanted to know about tekkes, Kosovo historical figures, monasteries or hammams but couldn’t find anyone to ask
more than 150 restaurants, bars and cafes with opening hours, addresses and phone numbers!
more than 60 hotels
where you find working mills, ethnografic and energy museums
markets, festivals…
Gheg and Serb language glossaries
Our aim is to
- encourage internationals in Kosovo to spend more time and money there and invite their parents, family…
- persuade the diaspora to take their kids to places they haven’t seen and also spend more time in Kosovo
- bring in backpackers and pass through tourists
- encourage internationals, Macedonians, Albanians and the other neighbours to visit Kosovo
- prepare for the wider tourist market.
As a result of the guide the Kosovo tourism potential has already featured in The Times Newspaper and had a spot in Wanderlust travel magazine and was also on Yahoo news.
The authors are internationals who each lived in Kosovo for more than 4 years.
We are putting Kosovo on the tourist map. We’d like your suppport to promote the guide to visitors of your web site. It makes a great souvenir, Christmas gift and education for your kids.
Those people in Kosovo can obtain copies from kysmetkosovo@yahoo.com or tel 038 248 342 or 044 115180 and ask for the book. We can deliver to your door at less than amazon prices. We are also selling the other Bradt guides.
Outside of Kosovo you can order the book on Amazon (US, Canada, Germany or UK web sites) , www.bradt.com or www.waterstones.com

Thanks suggesting this book. I'll be looking for it.
You're welcome, Jeff. Watch out for a post coming soon with recommendations on some tools you can use to improve your Albanian.
I'll be looking out for the language tools. I can always use the help.
Hello,
do u really think that Kosovo have a single chance of developing any kind of touristic activity? Who on earth would go for vacations in a place that is violence and so contaminated with radioactive Uranium, except for KFOR?
Thanks,
Jef
Are you sure your name is not Jovan Jovanovic or something?
I'm certainly interested in picking up a copy of this book, as I've been meaning to visit Kosovo for a few years now. A good guide will make all the difference.
I'm not heading to Kosovo on vacation, per say, but I'm sure going to slip in some travel time. The Bradt guide is detailed - and inspiring! siena-anstis.livejournal.com
I visit Kosovo quite frequently. In fact, I spent the greater part of this year in Pristina. It is certainly a hot-spot to visit.
I also noticed several Western European tourists there, and no, they weren't of Albanian descent.
Going out in Kosovo is relatively cheap and affordable. Food in Pristina is delicious in almost every restaraunt you go to. I recommend Kosovo to almost everyone.
Except Jovan Jovanovic, here.
Happy new year.
