South-west towards Prizren
'''{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}''' (also spelled '''Prishtina''') is the largest city in the disputed territory of [[Kosovo]].
{{IsIn== Hitchhiking out ===== North-West towards [[Kosovska Mitrovica]] === To hitch out of Pristina, walk to Bill Clinton st and continue till you come to a junction. It is not obvious where it is because there is no sign Mitrovica on the way from the city. Walk up the junction bridge and then walk on in the Mitrovica direction (i.e. right if you came from the city center) until you come to a petrol station. Of course you can hitch right away without walking to petrol station first, but all traffic here seems to be very local so you have better chances of finding a straight car talking at the petrol station then thumbing on the road. See [http://travel.yahoo.com/p-map-490643-map_of_pristina-i yahoo maps] for Pristina geometry understanding, though the map is not quite right - the junction is actually inside the city. === North-West towards [[Peje]] and airport if you need it === Just walk the same road as for Mitrovica but instead of finding the bridge walk on straight till you find a suitable spot (i.e. basically anywhere ;) === North towards [[Podujevo]], [[Kursumlia]], [[Niš|Kosovo}}{{Stub}}Nis]] and [[Belgrade]] ===
Find Bajram Bahtri street in the northen part of the town (near the railways) and follow it, moving north, until it comes into M25.
Beware of many taxi drivers that passing by, tell them that you are hitchhiking before you get into the car.
== Hitching Out ===== North-West South towards [[Kosovska MitrovicaSkopje]], [[Ferizaj]] ===
To hitch out Find Buleardi Deshmoreve in the southern part of Pristina, the city (or find Blvd. Nena Tereze and walk to Bill Klinton st and continue south till you come to a junction. It is not obvious where it is because there is no sign Mitrovica on continues into the way from the cityformer). Walk up the junction bridge until a big roundabout with a lot of bus stops and then walk on in the Mitrovica direction (iprivate taxis.e. right if you came from Continue south, pass the city center) untill you come to a petrol gas station. Of course you can and hitch right away without walking to petrol station firstafter the road splits into two, one of them towards [[Skopje]], but all traffic here seems [[Ferizaj]] and [[Prizren]]. There is a car park and a construction site and plenty of space for a car to stop. Note that you will be very local standing close to a bus stop so people might advice you have better chances of finding to hop on a straight car talking at the petrol station then thumbing on the roadbus. Nonetheless it's an excellent spot.
See [http://travelAlso you can take a bus 10 in the city center, one of the bus stops is near the Newborn letters. You need to get off when the bus will turn from the main road that leads to Skopje.yahooOr you can say to the driver Valoni petrol station.com/p-map-490643-map_of_pristina-i yahoo maps] for Pristina geometry understanding, though You can HH from the map petrol station which is not quite right - before the junction is actually inside the cityor walk further and HH after.
If you are heading to [[Prizren]] rather don't expect to stop a car that will bring you straight to your desired destination. Most of the cars will be going towards [[Ferizaj]]. If you find a common language with the driver try to ask him to bring you to the place where the road to [[Prizren]] starts - it wont be a problem for him to get back on the road to [[Ferizaj]], there is a lot of space to maneuver a car.

Just walk There are two roads leading to Prizren. The old road is the one going south, so you can follow the same advice above to get there.The new road as for Mitrovica but instead of finding (E851) goes west towards Peja. Follow Bulevardi Bill Klinton until you go under the bridge walk with the roundabout on straigh till you find a suitable spot (itop.eHitch from the first stop light. basically anywhere ;)
=== North towards *[[PodujevoUser:Henridv|Henridv]], (Mar. 2017) There's quite a lot of traffic on both roads but the spot on the new road is a lot easier for cars to stop. People on both roads will tell you to go to the other spot. ''I found a ride after 10 minutes on the new road.*[[KursumliaUser:Antonopa|Antonopa]](April 2017) Hitchhiked from here to Prizren, barely had time to put down my bag and hold up my sign before a car stopped. The first car that saw my sign stopped, took me all the way to prizren. Excellent spot. *[[NisUser:Janos|Janos]] and (June 2018) Same here, took me like 5 minutes. One car also stopped to offer me a ride for 4 euro.*[[BelgradeUser:Rebew|Rebew]] ===(Aug. 2022) No luck for us on the new road, two guys. Someone offered to take us to a better spot after an hour. A direct ride might've been to ambitious.
Find Bajram Bahtri street in the northen part of the town (near the railways) and follow it, moving north, until it comes into M25=== Online Solutions ===

=== South towards [[Skopje]] =Nomadwiki & Trashwiki ==
Find Buleardi Deshmoreve in the souther part of the city (or find Blvd. Nena Tereze and walk south till it continues into the former). It will come into e851/M2 sooner or later ;)[[nomad:Pristina]] [[trash:Pristina]]
== Maps =={{IsIn|Kosovo}}
Google maps have no idea about what [[Category:Kosovo towns are, as well as many other map resourses. There is no tourist information office in Kosovo (or we failed to find one) but you can walk to the Grand Hotel (not far from the Stadium) and ask them for Kosovo/Pristina map - they give one for free. It is not perfect but at least you will have a clear map of the city center and a nice map of Kosovo, as well as some info about local sites.]][[Category:E80]]
