ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
The Bistrica is Prizren’s living room: the river runs through the old town, the bridges cross it every fifty metres, and the banks hold the cafés and the restaurants where the town spends its evenings. The walk from the stone bridge to the hammam and back is the town’s essential hour.
