While a private taxi or car rental might offer more flexibility, the 362 km drive can be taxing and expensive, with costs often exceeding 200€ plus fuel and cross-border insurance. In contrast, for just 30€, the bus allows you to relax and enjoy the changing landscape without the stress of navigating winding coastal roads or border queues.

Moreover, choosing the bus is a more sustainable way to travel, significantly reducing your carbon footprint compared to individual car trips. For a seamless experience, we recommend ensuring your mobile connectivity is ready for the border crossing. Utilizing an eSIM for both Albania and Kosovo is highly recommended to maintain access to your digital bus tickets and navigation apps without incurring high roaming fees during the transit.

Prizren is famous for its cobblestone streets, Ottoman-era architecture, and the iconic Sinan Pasha Mosque. A short walk from the station leads you to the Old Stone Bridge, the perfect spot for photography. If you have energy after the 6-hour bus ride, the hike up to the Prizren Fortress (Kalaja) is essential for a panoramic view of the city at dusk.

Food lovers should not miss the opportunity to dine at local institutions like 'Syla' or 'Hyska', known for their authentic grilled specialties. Prizren's atmosphere is particularly vibrant during the evening when the cafes along the Lumbardhi River come to life.
