Day 1:
Arrival in Tirana (30 km)
Berat Daily Tour
The name Berát has been derived through Albanian sound changes from the Old Slavonic Bělgrad , meaning “White City”.
Berat, “City of 1000 windows” designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.
We’ll pick you up at your hotel in Tirana at 8 am and head south towards Berat. After a 2hour journey, we’ll arrive at our destination. Discover one of the most beautiful ancient cities in central Albania and visit Mangalemi, Gorica and Kajala, its 3 most symbolic districts.
The first stop on the tour will be Berat Castle, located at the top of a hill. Accompanied by the guide, we’ll tour this imposing construction and talk about its history. The medieval Castle of Berat houses old churches, museums and iconography by the greatest Albanian artists as well as old bazaars, cafes, and a surprisingly vibrant local life. Then we’ll visit another one of Berat’s jewels, the famous Onufri Museum, located inside the Cathedral of the Assumption of Saint Mary. The church, which dates from the 18th century, houses numerous works by the painter Onufri.
Afterwards, we’ll continue discovering other holy buildings such as the Lead Mosque, the King’s Mosque and the Bachelors’ Mosque. Following on, we’ll go to the Gorica bridge over the Osum river, one of the most special places in Berat.
