Kosovo is situated in Southeast Europe and shares its borders with Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Albania. Pristina is the capital and the languages spoken are Albanian, Serbian, Bosniak and Turkish.
The country is surrounded by mountain ranges: the Sharr Mountains, the Kopaonik Mountains as well as the Gjeravica (2,656 m), the highest mountain in the land. The central area is an expanse of hills and two large plains stretching from the west to the east.
Pristina offers a national museum, theatre and art gallery. There are also several historical mosques, such as Mbretit and Pirinaz, and the Serbian Church of St Nicholas with its rich iconostasis.
Kosovo has a mild continental climate with cold, snowy winters and warm summers. May and September are the best months to visit.
