How to get to Kosovo
Located in the heart of the Balkan, Kosovo represents a bridge between the countries of South Eastern Europe. Through its unique geographical position and its liberal trade regime it offers instant access to the interesting and growing market in the Balkans and Central Europe, compromising 100 million potential customers.
Kosovos capital Prishtina is within one hours distance of driving to any neighbouring country (Albania, Montenegro, Macedonia, and Serbia), thereby providing a connection for all countries in the region.
Road network:
The road network consisting of 630 km of main roads has been rebuilt to a high extent during the past years, but some completely new roads have also been built. With the planned construction of the highway that will connect Kosovo with Albania on one side and with Serbia on the other, Kosovo is becoming an important gateway in the corridor that will connect the Adriatic Sea with Western Europe.
Railway:
The railway network in Kosovo has a combined length of 330 km. It covers the entire territory, connecting both the south with north and east with west. On the south side as well as the north side the railway line provides access to the international railway network. The ongoing rehabilitation and modernisation of Kosovo railways is providing a solid base to satisfy the growing demand on logistical services.
Air communication:
Prishtinas modern international airport (PRN, http://www.airportpristina.com) is 15km from the city centre. Taxi ride to the centre takes about 20 minutes and costs 10-15 EUR if you order a radiotaxi by phone (Radio Taxi Victoria (038)/555-333; Radio Taxi Titanic (038)/232-322), 20-25 EUR if you take one waiting outside. The airport bus from right outside the arrivals terminal to the Grand Hotel in the city centre departs daily at 09:00, 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, 17:00 and 18:00; a ticket costs 3 EUR and can be purchased on the bus.
