Travel by road
Summary:
Roads around Pristina are generally in fair condition although you need to be cautious of potholes in Pristina’s urban area. Traffic drives on the right and the minimum driving age is 17. The general speed limit in Pristina is 50kph (31mph). An International Driving Permit, vehicle registration/ownership documents and a locally valid insurance policy are required.
The European Green Card is not valid, so you must buy third-party insurance at the border when travelling to Kosovo.
Emergency breakdown service:
Police (tel: 92, or 192 from mobile phones, in Kosovo only). Car hire agencies have their own local arrangements in case of breakdown.
Routes:
Entering Pristina from the airport is straightforward. Join Bill Clinton Boulevard into the southwestern suburbs before this main road intersects with Nënë Tereza, delivering drivers into the centre. Pristina Bus Station is located just off Bill Clinton Boulevard several kilometres from the city centre.
Driving times:
From Skopje - 1 hour 35 minutes; Tirana - 3 hours 15 minutes.
Coaches:
A host of private companies, including Adio Tours (tel: +381 38 522 422) and Vector (tel: +381 38 610 416; www.vectortours.de), run international services to and from neighbouring countries. Domestic routes include Prizren (90 minutes) and Peja (2 hours).
Travel by rail
Services:
Kosovo’s poor rail network operates a threadbare service. Fushë Kosovo Station is Pristina’s main terminus located 7km (4.3 miles) west of the city centre. Few services call by the smaller yet more centrally located Pristina Station.
Operators:
Trainkos (tel: +381 38 534 821; www.trainkos.com) is the main rail operator in Pristina. The only current international arrival operating is the daily service from Skopje in neighbouring Macedonia (journey times – 2 hours 30 minutes). The limited internal network includes daily services from Peja to Pristina (journey time – 2 hours).
