I used Nomax to find a group for dinner at Panorama Dining. The view was incredible, and it was great to share the experience with people who were also curious about Kosovo's history.

Exploring the Bill Clinton statue and the NEWBORN monument felt much more meaningful with the fellow travelers I met on the app. We ended up spending the whole weekend exploring the Pejton cafes!
Nomax helped me find a walking buddy for the Old Town. We visited the Imperial Mosque together and then grabbed the best macchiatos I've ever had near Sheshi Ibrahim Rugova.

What cultural experiences should I not miss in Pristina?
Don't miss the chance to climb the bell tower of the Mother Teresa Cathedral for a panoramic view, or explore the somber history at the Prishtina Prison Museum (Burgu i Idealit). Sharing a traditional 'tavë' dish in a local restaurant is also a must-do social experience.
How do I get around Pristina using public transport?

While Albanian is the primary language, English is widely spoken by the youth in Pristina's cafes and shops. Learning a few words like 'Përshëndetje' (Hello) is appreciated, but you will have no trouble navigating or making friends using English.
What local food should I try in Pristina?
You must try 'Flia', a layered pancake-like dish, and 'Suxhuk' (spicy sausage). For a shared snack, grab some 'Burek' from a local bakery in the Old Town—it's a favorite among travelers and locals alike.
