Choosing the bus over a private car for your trip from Gjilan to Prizren offers several advantages. Firstly, it is the most sustainable choice, significantly reducing your carbon footprint per kilometer. Secondly, navigating the historic, narrow streets of Prizren in a car can be challenging, and finding parking near the center is often difficult and expensive. By taking the bus, you arrive directly at the Stacioni Prizren, located within easy walking distance of major attractions. Unlike taxis, which can cost five times as much as a bus ticket for the same distance, the bus provides a consistent, professional service that allows you to relax and watch the scenery instead of focusing on traffic.

Upon arriving at Stacioni Prizren, you are just moments away from one of the most beautiful cities in the Balkans. Known for the Sinan Pasha Mosque and the ancient Prizren Fortress, the city is a living museum. After your journey from Gjilan, we recommend starting your exploration at the Stone Bridge, then heading toward the League of Prizren museum to understand the city's historical weight. If your visit coincides with the DokuFest international documentary film festival, the city transforms into a global cultural hub. Don't forget to try the local culinary delights like 'qebapa' at famous local eateries such as Syla or Hyska before catching your return bus back to Gjilan.
