4. Tetovo guided tour
Placed at the bottom of the Polog plain, at the foot of the Šar mountains and at the gates of Kosovo, Tetovo is the 5th largest city in the country and the "capital" of the Albanian minority. Its current appearance does not make it, a priori, a tourist destination of the first order: a large city of socialist look to gray buildings, for some still scarred by traces of fighting in the civil war of 2001.

I love a good walking tour! It's the first thing I like to do when arriving to town since it gets you oriented to the major history and then gives you ideas of stuff to see.. We packed so much into the tour. The Square, government buildings, sculpture, orthodox church and mosque - wow so cool, and lots of other little things we eyed up to go back and enjoy.. Rate this one an "A"!
