Morning: Begin at the famous Newborn Monument, which represents the independence of Kosovo. Explore Mother Teresa Square and take in the National Library of Kosovo's architecture.

In the afternoon, visit the Ethnological Museum to get a close-up look at the history and culture of Kosovo. Don't forget to admire the Great Hamam's Ottoman-era excellence as you pass it.
