Overview
Berat, “the city of one over one windows”.
Berat,, is a historic city in Albania, located in the heart of the country’s lush landscape. Known for its picturesque beauty and rich cultural heritage, Berat offers visitors a glimpse into Albania’s fascinating past and a taste of its warm welcome.
The city is divided into two quarters that are actually separated by the river – Mangalem and Gorica. Gorica is the side with fewer sights and is also quieter, but it’s well worth wandering around there for a while. It is on this side of the river that you will get the perfect picture of the cute houses with several windows.Crossing the Gorica bridge, we reach the busiest quarter – Mangalem.
You can explore the famous Bulevardi Republika street, where the locals gather especially in the evening. Still not to be missed the Lead mosque and, a few meters away, the Cathedral of St. Demetrius.

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.
