The places we would show you if you had a day in the city. Everything here is close together and walkable.
Architecture
National Library of Kosovo
Domes and a metal net over concrete. People either love it or hate it, which is exactly why it is worth walking past.

City life
Mother Teresa Square
The main pedestrian boulevard and the easiest place to understand the city: cafés, people walking, and most sights a few minutes away.

Local culture
National Theatre of Kosovo
More a local cultural evening than a sight. Performances are mainly in Albanian and the programme changes regularly, with ballet on now and then. Worth checking what is playing while you are here.
