Things to do in Kosovo and what a holiday costs
These are the things to do in Kosovo worth your time, with prices in euros.
Kosovo uses the euro. It is the youngest country in Europe and has one of the youngest populations, which you notice in its busy cafes. Prices are very low, and cash is still common outside the bigger restaurants and hotels.
