Dear all!
This tour will last approximately 2 hours, depending on the number of participants.


Step into history with a guided journey through Berat, a city where the past comes alive. Discover the charming old quarters of Mangalemi and Gorica, where Ottoman-era houses with their iconic windows line narrow, cobblestone streets. Admire the intricate design of the Bachelor’s Mosque, a testament to Berat's Islamic heritage.

Travel back in time at the Medieval Center, where the city's historic heart beats strong. Marvel at the Saint Michael Byzantine church, a hidden gem of spiritual tranquility.

Catch your breath at a panoramic viewpoint, offering sweeping vistas of Berat's scenic beauty nestled alongside the Osum River. Experience serenity at the King's Mosque, an architectural gem reflecting the city's diverse cultural influences.

Walking through the history at the old Gorica Bridge, a historic stone arch bridge in Berat, spans the Osum River and connects the old quarters of Gorica and Mangalem. This iconic structure showcases traditional Ottoman architecture and offers stunning views of Berat's UNESCO-listed old town. The bridge is not only a vital link between the two sides of the city but also a symbol of Berat's rich history and cultural heritage.

Join us on this unforgettable journey through Berat's history and heritage, guided by a local expert passionate about sharing the city's secrets and splendor.
