Berat is a living ancient city in Albania known as the “city of a thousand windows”. Its history is intertwined with fortifications and ancient quarters: the fortress, founded almost 2.5 thousand years ago, sets the tone for the city panorama, and whitewashed houses and tiled roofs create a warm, cozy atmosphere. Walking through its streets gives a sense of touch with the past and quiet provincial beauty.
Among the man-made attractions, the Berat Fortress stands out with defensive towers and ancient fortifications, from where impressive views of the city and the surrounding area open. The Monastery of St. Mary in Ardenica is located on a steep slope in the valley of the Bojana River and is an important religious and architectural site. Old houses, churches and pavements in the historic center give Berat a special flavor and form a list of what to see first.
Natural attractions around the city are no less attractive: Berat is cozy located at the foot of Mount Tomorr and on the banks of the Osum River, where picturesque views and river valleys alternate with hills. The river banks, gorges and surrounding landscapes offer excellent opportunities for hiking, picnics and photos against the background of nature, combined with the historical appearance of the city.
