Europe's Youngest Country Has Fairytale Towns With 70% People Under 35. Fly There For Just Rs 25000

Kosovo, the youngest country in Europe, may not be on the usual tourist list, but its old towns, historic buildings, scenic landscapes and affordable travel are slowly bringing more visitors to the country.

It declared independence from Serbia in 2008. It is still relatively unexplored by tourists and is known for its young population, with more than 70% of people under the age of 35.

One of the most popular places in Kosovo is Prizren. The small town looks like it has come straight out of a fairy tale, with its old buildings, narrow streets, historic mosques and beautiful mountain views. The town also has a relaxed atmosphere and is known for its local food.

Entry rules for Kosovo

Visa requirements depend on the traveller's nationality and the length and purpose of the visit. Travellers should check the latest rules with Kosovo's official authorities before planning their trip.

Foreign visitors are also required to report their address to the nearest police station within three days of entering Kosovo. Those staying in hotels generally do not need to do this themselves, as the hotel reports the stay.

Travellers carrying €10,000 (approx. Rs 11 lakh) or more in cash must declare the amount when entering or leaving Kosovo. A valid passport is also required for entry.
