Berat
Perched along the banks of the Osum River and framed by the Tomorr Mountains, Berat is a living museum of Albanian history and charm. Known as the “City of a Thousand Windows,” its white Ottoman-era houses cascade down the hillsides, their symmetrical windows gazing out like watchful eyes over the cobbled streets below. Berat is more than just a pretty face—it’s a place where time slows down. Sip homemade raki in a shaded courtyard, browse artisan shops tucked into old stone buildings, or take a day trip to the Osumi Canyon, where turquoise waters carve through dramatic cliffs. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply chasing beauty off the beaten path, Berat offers a soulful slice of Albania that lingers long after you leave.

Leaving from

正要

Berat is a compact and walkable city, making it easy to explore on foot. The historic neighborhoods of Mangalem and Gorica are best discovered by wandering their narrow cobblestone streets, where you'll find charming homes, ancient churches, and stunning views at every turn.

To reach Berat Castle, be prepared for a bit of an uphill walk—but the scenic climb and panoramic views are well worth the effort. Comfortable shoes are a must!

Taxis are available and inexpensive if you prefer not to walk, especially for trips to nearby attractions like the Osum Canyon or local vineyards. Bicycles can also be rented, offering a pleasant way to explore the surrounding countryside.

Public transportation is limited within the city, but minibuses (furgons) connect Berat with other towns and cities in Albania.

In short, Berat invites you to slow down, stroll, and soak in its timeless atmosphere—no rush, just discovery.
