My Best Cappuccino Ever!, Pristina, Kosovo

I’ve been to Skopje in North Macedonia twelve times and most times hired a car from the airport. It had always been my intention to ‘hop into’ nearby Kosovo by car for a quick visit. My research indicated that one of the best places in the entire world to have a cappuccino is in Kosovo’s capital Pristina. So I was eager to see if this was really true.

I started off early by car in the morning from Skopje and crossed the border to Pristina on my European Union passport. The Kosovars are/were in the process of building a new motorway connecting Skopje to Pristina to cut travel times but unfortunately for me, only part of this motorway was usable when I was there. However, future motorists should find it ready, hopefully!

After around one and a half hours driving, I arrived in Pristina, Pristina may not be the most beautiful city in the Balkans but it has its charm as its one of the liveliest capitals in Eastern Europe, with plenty of university students and expats, and is a city with many things to offer visitors and inhabitants alike, such as festivals, cultural events, interesting museums and cool cafés.

I could not wait to set my taste buds to the test so I made my way to the city centre and walked into the first cafe I saw! Ironically, all that the shop served were a couple of cakes and coffee! Well, I was there for the coffee so that was okay! The cake was delicious but the cappuccino, oh my God, that was divine! I’ve been to dozens of cafes all over Europe and I can now say - coffee in Kosovo is THE BEST! ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
