Overview

Unlike standard city tours, this experience not only explores the historic heart of Berat—a UNESCO World Heritage site—but also includes a peaceful visit to Belshi Lake, a lesser-known gem surrounded by nature.

Travelers will walk through Berat’s most iconic quarters, Mangalem and Gorica, connected by the centuries-old Gorica Bridge, while learning about the city’s unique architecture and long-standing religious harmony. A guided visit to Berat Castle and the Onufri Museum brings Albania’s rich Byzantine and Ottoman history to life through authentic stories and preserved landmarks.

The tour also includes convenient transportation from Tirana and is led by a knowledgeable local guide who provides in-depth context and personalized insights. This combination of hidden nature, historic depth, and expert-led exploration makes it a truly distinctive way to experience one of Albania’s most remarkable destinations.
