08:00
Start with a quiet breakfast at Bukë e Zemër. The early morning hours are calm, giving you time to settle in before the day picks up. The restaurant opens at 07:00, so arriving at 08:00 ensures a relaxed table and fresh food.
08:25
Walk up to the Jewish Cemetery on top of Velania’s Tauk Bahqe. Founded in the 19th century, this burial site holds 57 tombstones and tells the story of the Jewish community that once numbered over 1,500 people in Pristina. The quiet location on the outskirts offers a moment of reflection away from the city noise.
08:40
Head down to City Park, a 15-minute walk from the cemetery. This 7.5-hectare green space is one of the few parks in the city, offering rich flora, fauna, and hiking trails. It is about a 7-minute walk from the city centre, making it a peaceful retreat for a mid-morning stroll.

End your walk at Marcus Coffee Shop near City Park. Open from 07:00 on weekdays, it serves locally roasted beans and is a great spot to chat with the staff about their blends. The atmosphere is calm and inviting, perfect for winding down after your walk.
Local tip
City Park is open year-round, but the hiking trails are best enjoyed in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. Marcus Coffee Shop is closed on Sundays, so plan your visit accordingly.
