Practicalities

REACHING PRISHTINA

The easiest way to reach Prishtina is by flying into Prishtina International Airport, with several airlines and routes available. We recommend selecting the option that best suits your schedule.

From the airport, the city center is about a 30-minute drive. A taxi is the most convenient transfer option.

Alternatively, you may fly into nearby airports:

  • Skopje Airport (North Macedonia) – approx. 1 hour 30 minutes by car

  • Tirana Airport (Albania) – approx. 3 hours by car

If you arrive via these airports, you will need to rent a car. Feel free to contact us if you’d like help arranging transportation.

Important: Airlines such as Wizz Air and EasyJet may adjust schedules on short notice. We strongly recommend not arriving on the day of the wedding, but instead planning to arrive at least one day in advance to allow for any delays.

PHONE SIM / eSIM

Most likely  you won't have data on your phone in Kosovo (in that case remember to switch off your roaming). 

You can buy a SIM card in Prishtina (Vodafone; Vala) or you can use these applications to pay for Data packages:
