The Christmas market in Pristina is the largest in Kosovo. The market uniquely highlights art and crafts made by village artisans, displaying a profound sense of local culture and tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll notice dozens of attractively decorated wooden huts presenting a variety of products, from warming hot drinks to Kosovar specialties, all at reasonable prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
