It is the biggest cultural event in Kosovo, the town fills completely, and beds book out well in advance at higher prices.\r\nCan I visit the Orthodox churches? | Usually, but ask locally rather than assuming. Several Orthodox sites in Kosovo were damaged during rioting in 2004 and some remain under international protection with supervised or restricted access. Our Lady of Ljevisa, the UNESCO-listed one with frescoes from 1307, may depend on a caretaker being present. Decani monastery, an hour away, requires a passport at the gate.\r\nIs the fortress worth the climb? | Yes, and it is free. About twenty minutes up a stepped path from the old town, with the whole town, the river, the minarets and the Sharr mountains laid out below. Go towards the end of the day. The path is steep and unlit, so do not leave the descent until after dark.\r\nHow does it compare to Pristina? | Prizren is the prettier half of Kosovo and Pristina is the more interesting one. Prizren has the Ottoman old town, the fortress and the mountains; Pristina has the energy, the architecture and the politics. They are ninety minutes apart and you should do both.\r\nHow cheap is it? | As cheap as anywhere in Europe. Beds \u20ac8 to \u20ac20, a main \u20ac4 to \u20ac9, a coffee \u20ac1, a beer \u20ac1.50 to \u20ac3, and a day around \u20ac20 to \u20ac40. Kosovo uses the euro directly so there is no exchange involved.\r\nDo I need cash? | Yes. Cards work in some places but far from all, and small caf\u00e9s, buses and many guesthouses are cash only. There are ATMs in town.\r\nWhat about travelling on to Serbia? | Read the border situation carefully before planning it. Serbia does not recognise Kosovo's independence and entering Kosovo from a third country can result in being refused entry to Serbia afterwards.
