Here are outposts of green, the biggest and best of which is Gërmia Park. During the summer, the lake-sized swimming pool here is a hot spot for families and young people, but year-round the park offers grassy spaces to relax or kick the ball around, and a network of mine-cleared trails through the dense woods perfect for dog-walking or drunken hide-and-seek tournaments. A couple of restaurants at the top of the park have good food and nice views. Also interesting to check out the cluster-bombed police bunker, just up the road from the best restaurant.
Germia Park is a regional park located in the northeast of Pristina, Kosovo, and covers an area of 62 square kilometres (24 sq mi). Its highest point, Butos Peak, is 1050 meters above sea level and its lowest 663 meters above sea level.

Parku i Taukbashçes
Varrezat e Hebrejeve
Founded in 19th century, it is a burial site in the outskirts of Pristina consisting of 57 tombstones. The city was once home to a Jewish community numbering over 1,500 people, who settled in the Balkans during the late 15th century from Spain after escaping the Reconquista.
This is the only remaining operative Serbian Orthodox Church in Pristina. It is housed in a 19th-century building. It used to showcase 18th-century wooden icons, created by painters based in Debar, North Macedonia, several 18th-century frescoes and an iconostasis of 1840 from Belgrade, Serbia, which were all irreversibly damaged during the 2004 unrest. The Saint Nicholas Church once again began to hold liturgies in 2010 in a ceremony attended by a few hundred Serbian Orthodox believers. It now features a revamped exterior, restored roof, new marble tiles and new icons.
Muzeu Etnologjik Emin Gjiku
This museum is one of the most valued monuments of Kosovo's cultural heritage under state protection. It consists of four buildings of the 18th and 19th centuries, and the extremely interesting ethnological exhibition, which shows the life in Kosovo in the ethnological aspect during the 15th-20th centuries. The exhibition is built around four themes that represent the life cycle: Birth, Life, Death, and Spiritual Heritage. You will be accompanied by a guide to explain the exhibition and will have the opportunity to delve into relevant topics related to the cultural heritage of Kosovo. The restoration process of the main building was finished in 2022, and work began on the preparation of the new permanent exhibition.
Parku Varrezat e Dëshmorëve
This is a cemetery. Also there is the National Martyr’s Monument (Varrezat e Dëshmorëve).
This is the only place in the country with regular contemporary art exhibitions and events.
