Kosovo (häftad, eng)

This new fully updated 3rd edition of Bradt''s Kosovo is the only full-length English guidebook to this land rich in cultural heritage, generous hospitality and stunning scenery which is celebrating its 10th anniversary of unilateral independence from Serbia. Updated by two resident tourism experts, this new edition is an ideal companion for all visitors, offering maps, contacts and detailed information not easily accessible online, insider knowledge of one of Europe''s last unspoiled destinations, and comprehensive detail on sites, attractions and practical information.What was once a hub for adventurous backpackers and international organisations has become an outdoor adventure destination in its own right with a compelling buzz thanks in part to a vibrant and dynamic young population: the average age here is 26.

Mega-hiking trails like the Via Dinarica and Peaks of the Balkans have brought attention to the country''s unmatched scenery and multitude of 2,500+ metre peaks. New via ferratas - climbing routes - in the country''s north and west appeal to the adventurous set, while newly restored archaeological sites offer a haven for history buffs as well.

This third edition contains a wealth of new tour operators and fully updated maps to key cities and regions that make it easier than ever to explore Europe''s youngest country.Ringed by high mountains and recovering from a turbulent past, Kosovo is enjoying a tourism renaissance.

Following this guide, visitors can ski over pristine snowfields and hike among saw-toothed mountains, explore the ebb and flow of Islam and of Orthodox Christianity at beautiful shrines such as Gracanica Monastery or Prizren''s Sinan Pasha Mosque, sample raki at one of the vineyards, visit a traditional stone kulla, and be initiated into Prishtina''s coffee-drinking culture.

Bradt''s Kosovo caters for all travellers. With detailed descriptions of the country''s lively cafés and wide-ranging restaurants, as well as the thriving outdoor adventure scene, plus accommodation to suit all budgets, this new edition is the ideal companion for tourists, NGOs and long-term visitors.
