Pristina is a wonderful city of culture, history and flair - sadly though I caught it on a rain soaked public holiday, not ideal vlogging conditions but I was determined to make the most of it. I started by preparing for the rain and offering up a quick tour of my hotel room at the Hotel Real close to the city centre.

I joined a free walking tour which started at the Theatre Building at 10am, on route I was surprised to see how many shops were closed and restaurants were vacant - it was like an abandoned city rather than the one full of energy I’d been hearing about. The tour guide soon explained that the closures were due to it being a public holiday for Eid al-Adha (Kurban Bayramı).

Our tour guide Erza told us a story about how she and her family left the city when the Kosovo War began in the late 1990’s. I found it so fascinating I asked her to repeat it on camera after the tour - something which she was kind enough to do.

When the official walking tour ended my own self-guided walking tour began and headed down to see the Bill Clinton statue and learn about the NATO intervention in the war. After warding off a couple of stray dogs I took a look around the Mother Teresa Cathedral, examined the buildings around Skanderbeg Square and made it to the Ethnographic Museum close to the Xhamia e Madhe Mosque.

Both the Old Clock Tower and Përmendorja Monument were clad in scaffolding so I didn’t see much of them but I did enjoy looking around the University Campus where I found a half built Christ the Saviour Orthodox Cathedral and the world’s ugliest building The National University Library of Kosovo. There’s plenty to tell you about both so I go into detail during the video.

I ended up at a closed down market which was as authentic as authentic could be, the Yugoslav built Youth and Sports Center and the famous NEWBORN sign not too far from my hotel. A thoroughly enjoyable day in Kosovo’s capital Pristina and a great way to end my incredible trip to the country.
