Prizren Kosovo Travel Guide
Prizren offers a public bus system, though it is not as extensive as in larger European cities. These buses mainly connect the city center with surrounding neighborhoods and some villages. The Old Town, which houses most of the attractions, is largely pedestrianized, meaning public buses do not serve its core.
Bus routes are not extensively mapped online for tourists. However, locals are generally helpful and can provide advice on bus numbers or directions. The main bus hub is near the city's main bus station (Autobuska Stacion Prizren), with a few stops strategically located throughout the city.
For most tourist attractions in Prizren's Old Town, walking is the best and most efficient option due to its compact nature.
For longer distances to specific neighborhoods or areas outside the center, ask locals for bus numbers or routes; they are generally helpful.
The low fares make public buses a very affordable option for getting around the city.
