    Historic Roman town ruins only a bike ride away from Pristina. Easy to get to, well presented, with plenty of information in English. It’s free too!

    This is a prefect place to visit but the excavations are on the go. The remains found here proves that this used to be a place where Romans knew and lived before the other nations here

    A visit here puts things into perspective. Learning first about the place online and then visiting it, really helps.

    Great outdoor public and free ancient Roman ruins and Ilyrian historical site. See how Kosovo was crafted and how people lived and organised their cities in Ilyrian and Roman times.

    Just 11km from capital-Prishtina. Not well signposted, but very interesting place to visit. Open every day, but if it's raining take an umbrella. Good public paths, no charge for visiting.

    There's really not that much to see but it's an important place. You hear about it every now and then. It's like 15 minute walk from Gračanica.

    The Roman ruins at Ulpiana are interesting from a historical perspective and definitely worth a visit, but visually and size-wise, not that exciting. The site includes two churches (one that has an elaborate baptismal font), some city walls, and a small necropolis with a well, three sarcophagi, and one headstone. It will not take you long to go through the whole site, and if it's a hot day, you won't want to stay long anyway, as there is no shade and it can be blazingly hot. My understanding is that beneath the gravel that covers the floors of the ruins are some beautiful stone mosaics, which will be uncovered some day when the mosaics can be properly protected. That's great, but for now, it makes the site a tad boring (though I went once with a guide, which made it much more interesting than going on my own just reading the small, fairly uninformative plaques). Worth seeing, but I suggest pairing with something else like dinner at Etno Kuca or seeing the monastery in Gracanica or both. This should not take you more than 30 minutes, depending on how slowly you amble. Also note: don't take a stroller. You will not be able to push it on the thickly laid gravel paths. Mine is fairly robust, with big wheels, but it could not traverse the paths.

    Eternal inspiration-Ulpiana, place where the past and present collide, only few kilometres away from Gracanica monastery, a must-see when in Kosovo!

    This incredible tel needs to get more publicity for its significant impact on the region, and the opportunity it brings to tell the long-standing story of Christianity in the region, dating back to the first century. Highly recommend you go and take your time observing the sites and reading the signs. AMAZING!
