About Berat

Berat, known as the "City of a Thousand Windows," is a UNESCO World Heritage site that offers a blend of history, culture, and scenic beauty. One of the best activities is exploring the Berat Castle, which has stood since ancient times. The castle provides an excellent vantage point over the city and features well-preserved Byzantine churches and historic dwellings.

Wandering through the Mangalem and Gorica neighborhoods allows visitors to appreciate the traditional Ottoman architecture. The views of the white houses cascading down the hillside are particularly striking. In Mangalem, you can visit the Ethnographic Museum, housed in a former residence, to gain insight into the local way of life and customs.

A visit to the Onufri National Museum within the castle is also worthwhile. This museum showcases a collection of religious art, including works by the famous icon painter Onufri, whose masterpieces reflect the rich spiritual heritage of the region.

Strolling along the Osum River offers a peaceful experience, where you can enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape. The river's surrounding area is perfect for leisurely walks and photography.

Sampling local cuisine is another essential aspect of experiencing Berat. Traditional dishes such as byrek and tavë kosi can be found in local restaurants, providing a taste of Albanian hospitality.

Lastly, if time permits, taking a short trip to the nearby Tomorr Mountain can be rewarding for those interested in hiking and nature. The mountain is steeped in local legend and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

In summary, Berat provides a rich tapestry of historical sites, cultural experiences, and natural beauty, making it a compelling destination for those exploring Albania.
