Bus
Buses and shared minibuses (furgons) are the main way to get between towns. The main bus station in Pristina connects to Prizren, Peja, Gjakova, Mitrovica, Ferizaj, and other centres. Prices are very low — Pristina to Prizren costs around €4, Pristina to Peja around €3. Journey times are reasonable: Pristina–Prizren is about 1.5 hours, Pristina–Peja about 1.5–2 hours. Furgons are faster but less scheduled; they depart when full from specific departure points rather than a bus station.
Car
Kosovo is small enough that a car opens up the country considerably, especially for reaching monasteries, mountain villages, and the Rugova Gorge. Roads on the main corridors (Pristina–Prizren, Pristina–Peja, Pristina–Skopje border) are good — there has been heavy investment in infrastructure since independence. Secondary roads can be poor, poorly signed, and dangerous at night. A car can be hired in Pristina from international and local agencies; rates are reasonable.
Driving from Pristina to Prizren takes about 1 hour; Pristina to Peja about 1 hour 20 minutes.
Taxi
Taxis are cheap and available in all main towns. Use metered taxis where possible, or agree the price before you get in. In Pristina, apps like Bolt operate. Between cities, shared taxis are a common and fast option — ask at the bus station or departure points for furgons.
Within Pristina
Pristina's city centre is walkable for most visitors. Local buses are infrequent and routes can be confusing; most visitors and residents rely on taxis or walking.
Cycling
Not much infrastructure. Traffic in Pristina is chaotic and road conditions outside the main routes are variable. Some of the mountain routes — Rugova Gorge, Sharr Mountains — are excellent for mountain biking but you'll need to bring your own equipment.
