If you are wondering what the best things worth doing in Kosovo are, start with Pristina's National Library, whose 99 domes offer a surreal sight. The 14th century Gračanica monastery frescoes are breathtaking. From the Prizren fortress, a 360 degree panorama opens up over the city and the mountains.
1. Gračanica Monastery
Gračanica
One of Europe's best-preserved medieval fresco ensembles awaits you here. Five-hundred-year-old saints and angels look back at you from the walls, while the smoke of candles and the scent of incense fill the space.
Quick facts: The walls of the Serbian Orthodox monastery built in the 14th century are covered with more than 2,000 unique frescoes. The church was consecrated by our King Saint Stephen, and it is also on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Highlights: The frescoes dating from 1321, which cover almost the entire interior walls of the church, tell the stories of the Bible as if they were the pages of a medieval comic book. The eyes of the "Christ Pantocrator" depiction under the dome seem to follow the visitor's gaze depending on the lighting conditions.
