In addition to exploring the city’s historic and ancient areas, you have the opportunity to embark on a hike through the nearby hills. The journey essentially begins right from the city center, offering the chance to traverse through the well-known scenic neighborhoods of Mangalem and Gorica, cross over the 2400-year-old Gorica bridge, and then ascend the hill. From the summit, you get an amazing panorama of the city’s modern and traditional sections. A brief respite at the hilltop is followed by a return to Berat, rounding off a few hours of delightful exploration.
