Best time to visit Kosovo
No matter what your belief system, visiting the Serbian Orthodox monastery at Decani in Kosovo on Good Friday would move anyone. A place of pure peace, and long may it remain so.
Sometimes people forget that Kosovo is located in southern Europe, so temperatures can get really hot in summer, although the average in July and August is the high 20s centigrade. Similarly it snows in winter, so the best times to visit Kosovo are April to September. As this is lovely walking territory, it will be cooler in April, May or September generally. Do bring rain gear if going into mountains though. Two big cultural events include the NGOM Music Festival in June/July and Docufest Film Festival in August, both in Prizren. Easter is a special, sacred time throughout the country too.

Kosovo travel advice
Itinerary tips
Mark Huggins from our Kosovo vacations supplier, Undiscovered Destinations: “Kosovo is a small country and one of the most undiscovered in Europe. It has lots of interesting sites including UNESCO Decani Monastery and the architectural heritage of picturesque Prizren. Anyone who is interested in both modern and ancient European history will be fascinated by Kosovo. One can also enjoy beautiful scenery and walking in the Rugova Valley and also do some wine tasting at a local vineyard. We would recommend combining visiting Kosovo with Albania and Macedonia for wider look at the region”
Jim O’Brien, Director of our Kosovo vacations supplier, Native Eye: “My favourite place though is the Dragash region, in the southwest – it’s very traditional and home to the Gorani people, who can often be found wearing traditional dress. It’s a very friendly area and doesn’t see much in the way of tourism, and the hospitality of the local people towards a Western visitor can be quite overwhelming at times – but lovely nonetheless. The village of Brod in particular is a real delight, with old Ottoman era architecture, and the region is dotted with beautiful flower meadows which come alive in the spring.”
When to go
Mark Huggins from our Kosovo vacations supplier, Undiscovered Destinations, on the best time to visit Kosovo: “My favourite time to go is May, June or September into early October when the weather is generally good but still few vacationmakers both local and foreign.”
