Getting around Kosovo: transport and apps

Part of the Kosovo arrival guide.

This information may change. Always check the official source.Last verified: August 2026 by

A small country covered entirely by buses, and one border you should think about before crossing.

Buses

  • Kosovo is small - Pristina to Prizren is under two hours - and the bus network covers it comprehensively and cheaply.
  • Buses run frequently to Skopje, Tirana and Podgorica.
  • Buses to Belgrade exist but see the entry section before taking one.

Driving

  • Roads on the main corridors are good and recently built.
  • The motorway to Albania is excellent and makes the Adriatic about three hours away.
  • Check your rental agreement covers Kosovo - many Serbian and some regional hire companies exclude it, and insurance green cards sometimes do not list it.

The north

  • The northern municipalities around Mitrovica are Serb-majority and periodically tense.
  • Check current advice before travelling there, and do not cross into Serbia at the northern crossings without reading the entry section first.

Arriving by air?1

Each airport has its own page for the way into town - the operator, the fare and what still runs late.
