A must do. Seeing the sun go down over the city will be my most lasting memory of my trip to Kosovo. The route to the hill top starts by the Sinai Pasha Mosque. Then signs with arrows keep you on track. For those of us getting on a bit, the climb is easily do-able with a few rests. The fortress is largely ruined, with the information panels hard to read due to damage. At the rear of the fort the view over the valley and distant mountains is impressive. But it’s the stunning view over Prizren, and the wailing from the two dozen minarets down below at sunset, that you’ll take away with you.

The Prizren Fortress is a remarkable place! It is a historical castle located in the city of Prizren in Kosovo. It is one of the most well-known attractions in the city and offers stunning views of the city and the surrounding region. The fortress has a long history and is an important cultural and tourist site. Inside the castle, you can visit the historical museum and enjoy beautiful views from the tall towers. It's a wonderful place to explore history and appreciate the beautiful sights of the city.

I climbed the steep hill to the top while my friend waited below in a cafe. There is good signage pointing the way from the old town. The uneven cobble and pebbles/stones is slippery even in dry conditions so I don't suggest attempting it in the rain. It is a good workout to reach the top but well worth it. There are several ruins to explore and the views are spectacular. You can see the entire city of Prizren and surrounds from one side of the castle and the mountains from the backside. Literature is in English and diagrams show places to look for in the town. There were very few people up here when I visited on a beautiful afternoon in Mid May. Toilets at the top was a pleasant surprise. Wear sturdy shoes, sunscreen, a hat and bring water.

The fortress of Prizren, they call it Kalaja, is a medieval castle in Prizren, Kosovo. It was built on a hill above the city, under which Prizren gradually developed into a large city. No tickets, not really easy trail, but a 30-40 minutes hiking the stairs through old houses, leads you to the top of the fortress. Be prepared for a good walk, a strong sun if in summer and finally a great view of the city from the top.

If you want to enjoy the view of Sharr mountains, surrounding area of the city or the city by itself, this is one of the top locations. Also, the fortress bears a much longer history than just the Ottoman one from Eyalet of Rumelia. It comes back to Serbs, Byzantines or Dardanians.
