Wander Mangalem & Gorica
The two facing Ottoman quarters are the headline. Cross the Gorica bridge for the classic photo of Mangalem at sunset.
The castle quarter
Berat castle is still inhabited — a working medieval village with cobblestone lanes, an Onufri icon museum and panoramic terraces.
The Tomorr wine valley
Albania's best wine region is right below Berat. Several family wineries open for tastings — book ahead.
From the road
Practical tips
- → Two nights is enough.
- → Drive — the bus station is far from the old town.
- → Visit the castle in the late afternoon for the light.
