Here, guests will have 30 minutes to stretch, enjoy a coffee, and soak in the charm of this off-the-beaten-path area with its serene small lake and tranquil surroundings. It’s a much more pleasant break than stopping at a gas station!

Guests will enjoy a 2-hour guided walking tour, visiting the most significant landmarks while taking in panoramic views from the hilltop. Remember to bring a camera!
- Quarter Of Mangalem - From the castle, the bus will transport guests to the Osum River Bridge, providing a closer view of the two historic neighborhoods, Gorica and Mangalem, as well as the iconic Gorica Bridge.
After sightseeing, the guide will offer free time for lunch, drinks, and exploring Berat at one’s own pace. IMPORTANT: From November to April, some museums may be closed on Mondays.
IMPORTANT: If assistance is needed during the tour, please speak to the guide – the goal is to ensure the best possible experience.

From Tirana: Daily Trip to Berat City and Belshi Lake - This trip was a wonderful opportunity to explore the historic Berat Castle and the charming city of Berat, guided by an exceptionally knowledgeable and engaging tour guide called Noel. The pick-up point was clearly marked and punctual. However, as we were the first to be picked up, we spent around 40 minutes collecting other participants from additional locations.
We enjoyed a brief 30-minute stop at the scenic shores of Belshi Lake, perfect for a short break and some photos, before continuing on to Berat Castle. I highly recommend staying close to the tour guide throughout the visit—his insights and explanations are incredibly informative and ensure you won’t miss any of the highlights.
After the castle tour, we had two and a half hours of free time in Berat city to explore independently, enjoy a meal, or simply soak in the atmosphere. Overall, a well-organised and enriching experience.
