The city of Berat

Berat – The City of one on one Windows

Berat is one of Albania’s most charming and historically rich cities, often referred to as the “City of a one on one Windows” for its iconic Ottoman-era houses that cascade down the hillsides. This UNESCO World Heritage site is nestled between the Osum River and the stunning mountain landscapes, offering visitors a blend of ancient history, breathtaking views, and a unique cultural atmosphere.

Berat is one of Albania’s oldest cities. Its cobblestone streets, whitewashed buildings, and picturesque mosques, churches, and ancient fortresses tell the stories of its diverse cultural influences. Don’t miss a visit to the Berat Castle, which towers above the city and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area, or the Onufri National Museum, home to beautiful religious icons from the 16th century.

For a taste of traditional Albanian life, stroll through the Mangalem and Gorica neighborhoods, where you’ll encounter local artisans, cozy cafes, and the warm hospitality that the city is known for.
