How to Get to Kosovo: Air, Road, and Rail Travel Options
Getting to Kosovo by Air
The main gateway to Kosovo is Prishtina International Airport (PIA) Adem Jashari, located just 15 km southwest of Prishtina, the capital city. This international airport offers direct flights connecting Kosovo to major European countries including Austria, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, Hungary, Turkey, and more. With a capacity of over 4 million passengers annually, Prishtina International Airport also offers connecting flights to destinations around the world, making it a key entry point for travelers. On-site facilities include car rental services, restaurants, post offices, banks, ATMs, and shopping options, ensuring a comfortable experience for visitors.
Traveling to Kosovo by Road
Prishtina, Kosovo’s vibrant capital, is located within an hour’s drive from neighboring countries such as Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia, providing easy access to regional travelers. Kosovo shares borders with these countries, with key border crossings as follows:
- Albania: Vermica, Qafa e Prushit, Morina, and smaller border points used by locals and hikers on cross-border trails.
- North Macedonia: Gllobocica and Hani i Elezit, along with smaller crossings popular among local communities and tourists.
- Serbia: Muqibaba, Dheu i Bardhe, Merdare, Gazivoda, and Jarinje. Please note, Serbia does not recognize Kosovo’s border stamps, so entry into Serbia is only possible if you entered from there.
- Montenegro: Zhlebi and Gryka e Cakorit, along with smaller crossings favored by local travelers and those hiking along cross-border trails.
Bus services also operate extensively between Kosovo and numerous European destinations, including Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Turkey, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and beyond, making it a convenient option for long-distance travel.
Traveling to Kosovo by Train
Kosovo is currently working on upgrading its railway infrastructure to European standards, and while the Prishtina to Skopje train service is temporarily suspended, train travel within Kosovo is still available. Passengers can purchase train tickets directly from train stations or onboard, paying by cash. Once the upgrades are completed, train travel in Kosovo will be more efficient and widely accessible.
