Inside the airport

About six airside and two landside food concessions (hours vary, no confirmed 24-hour option); duty-free on the upper level; landside retail; a bank currency exchange in the terminal.

The Best Western Hotel Galla is about 0.2km from the terminal, confirmed by two independent sources as within walking distance.

Kosovo has limited diplomatic recognition, which has a concrete travel effect: Serbian passports are not valid for entry into Kosovo. Standard visa-exempt entry runs up to 90 days per any 6-month period for citizens of recognizing/listed countries; Schengen visa or residence-permit holders get 15 days visa-free.
Transit visa requirements vary by nationality and change frequently. Always verify with the official embassy or consulate of Kosovo before travel.
