When planning a trip to聽Kosovo, it was important that we see more than just the main destinations there. Having experienced聽Pristina聽and聽Prizren, my friend and I were curious to see what other parts of Kosovo were like. For that, the small city of聽Gjakova聽suited us perfectly. Not only was it a convenient stopping point between Prizren and Peja, where we would go hiking, but I鈥檇 noticed a few people recommend Gjakova as one of Kosovo鈥檚 smaller tourist destinations.

Now, that鈥檚 hardly definitive advice on whether Gjakova is worth visiting, but I鈥檝e gone on less. Gjakova is a city of roughly 100,000 people and has long been a fairly important regional centre.
