- Berat - Depart for Berat at 8:30 am and you will be transferred to this beautiful city for around 2 hours. This is one of the oldest cities and the pride of Albanian architecture. The three major neighborhoods of the old city are Mangalemi, Gorica, and Kala where the castle itself is located. You will start our tour with the castle area. Visiting the ‘Kala’ involves a steep walk up a cobbled path, but those who make it to the top will be rewarded with a fine view of the surrounding area. You will visit the Museum of Iconography ‘Onufri’ which bears the name of the renowned fresco and icon-painter Onufri, who has left a rich inheritance. This museum is located within the cathedral of St. Mary’s Assumption. You will also visit the Red Mosque, recognized by its lonely minaret and St. Trinity Church. After the fortress you will visit the Mangalemi quarter and the National Ethnographic Museum.

Berat, “the city of one over one windows”.
Berat is a historic city in Albania, nestled in the heart of the country’s lush landscape. Renowned for its scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage, Berat provides visitors with a glimpse into Albania’s intriguing past and a taste of its warm hospitality. The city is divided into two quarters by a river – Mangalem and Gorica. Gorica, the quieter side with fewer attractions, is still worth exploring for its charming houses with numerous windows. Crossing the Gorica bridge leads to the busier quarter, Mangalem. Here, you can stroll along the famous Bulevardi Republika street, a popular gathering spot for locals, especially in the evening. Don’t miss the Lead Mosque and, just a few meters away, the Cathedral of St. Demetrius.
