Hotels in Berat

We had a very nice time here in the Hotel Gega. The breakfast was also very nice and had many options. The hotel is only a short walk away from the historical center and the rooms are quite nice. The only issue we had was the shower that splashed everywhere due to the lack of a closed shower cabin, but we have noticed that this is almost always the case here in Albania. The hotel staff is really sweet...

We were a bit disappointed with the hotel. The staff were friendly, especially the housekeeper. The continental breakfast had some tasty options. It's in a convenient location. But the shower was a mess and got water everywhere, no matter what we did. The bathroom reeked of a sewer smell. The front door was difficult to lock and unlock using the key. The tv didn't work. No elevator was a bummer. ...

Location is fantastic, staff is very nice and helpful, rooms are clean and comfortable. Only caveat is very weak wi-fi, but sometimes it is great to be off the grid!

I loved Berat and my stay at Hotel Gega! The hotel has an amazing location, and service! They have a very good breakfast. And their team that is the best: so helpful, kind, oriented to details 🤩🙏 Special thanks to Sibora and Rei, and Bledi and Liria they are so amazing ! Thank you 🙏🤩🤗

The hotel has great location and good price/quality ratio. It is located near the center and so close to the old town. You have free parking in front of the hotel. The hotel was clean and friendly staff.

Breakfast one the best in the country.

the location is great, walk to everything. breakfast is very nice. I had problems w housekeeping. when I was arrived I was put in a room where the air conditioning didn't work and the toilet seat was broken. now if you cleaned a toilet you would know a toilet seat is broken and report it. I had to report to staff the toilet seat was broken. at the time. I didn't realize the air conditioner didn't work...

There were some issues with the hotel. Free parking was not available at check in, the room didn't have a balcony as booked, the room given had the AC and the toilet defective..etc. People were very prompt to deal with issues, came with me to find the parking, even carrying my luggage. My rating is more for people than the hotel. Hotel is old and dated. It has a great location and the view was amazing...

The hotel boasts an excellent location. We were able to use the free parking and walk everywhere. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Breakfast on the rooftop was enjoyable. However, it was a pity that the bathroom wasn't up-to-date and lacked a curtain, causing the room to get very bright early in the morning. Despite these minor points, we had a superb mountain view. Otherwise, everything...

This hotel was amazing. The food was delicious,fresh and the staff was very kind and welcoming. Me and my family loved it, we had a very good time. It was a familiar place. I suggest this to everyone. If you visit Berat don’t forget to pass by. This were my favourite dishes.

Very nice hotel situated on the boulevard next to the park and the river. Conveniently placed for visiting the castle and the old parts of the town but also close to the shops and many cafes, bars and restaurants. I had a large double room with king size bed that was very comfortable, table and chairs, dressing table and separate wardrobe area. The bathroom is luxurious with bath and overhead shower...

We received a very warm welcome. The room was beautiful and spacious, offering a stunning view of the city. The hotel is ideally located at the foot of the old town. The breakfast was excellent. Overall, this hotel offers fantastic value for money. It was a delightful surprise and a truly enjoyable experience.

An amazing place to stay especially value for money. For wine lovers is the best place to test, drink and stay.

Amazing hotel,rooms are very spaceous,built in neoclassic style,breakfast is served in large quantities,staff is alway there to help and very positive,hotel is well maintained and incredibly clean in all facilities.Menagment staff work hard to fulfill their guests needs and are very helpful. Thank Belagrita for your generosity!

Great hotel,the staff were very proffesional and helpful, very clean hotel . I dont understand where these negative reviews come from, we had a great conversation with owners and they were very welcoming girls and open minded,they helped me for everything i asked.they also have their winery and the wines that we tried were amazing.

The hotel is ok, too gaudy for my taste but clean and with easy access (you come in through the gas station US roadside model style). The room was big, clean and seemed well maintained though sparsely decorated, great contest with the common areas that are filled with gold details and kitsch decor.

Bad air condicition good people

The area was great and hotel were very characterful, especially the lobby area which was delightfully heritage in it's design and appearance. The room was a great size and was very comfortable with a great view and original styled wooden shutters. The room was however very cold at times, the heating was not adequate for a room of that size. The room could also do with some upgrades such as a fridge...

Clean, amazing castle style interior and comfortable bed

A characterful place to stay in a great location. Simple but clean and comfortable rooms, making the place good value.

Excellent location in a traditional house in lovely little street.

EXCELENTE RELACION CALIDAD PRECIO. UBICACION EXCEL El hotel superó las expectativas puesto que tenía un precio muy bajo para su ubicación y hacia dudar. Sorprendió gratamente el lugar puesto que es muy tradicional, original y está muy limpio todo.

Great hotel. Nice gym to use aswell, quite basic but it gets the job done. Breakfast is nice and staff are very helpful. A bit away from old town but easily walkable in 10-15mins or so. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing hotel which is band in the middle of Boulevard Republika . Everything is walkable and the amenities and ambiance in the hotel is second to none . Must consider for a stay in Berat.

Beautiful and clean hotel. Very spacious rooms and a lovely pool. Note that you have to pay extra for the pool. Very friendly staff, good and tasty breakfast, and conveniently close to the city center. Definitely recommended!

A classy hotel. Everything was very good. I recommend it to everyone who visits Berat. 👍

We loved our room at Hotel Colombo. It was spacious. The hotel is viewable from most of the city areas. We were sad that the spa wasn’t open during the month we were there but we would visit again! The staff were lovely!

Fantastic, so grand they could have filmed “ The Shining” there!

If you are planning a trip to the beautiful city of Berat, I cannot recommend Hotel Onufri highly enough. From the moment we arrived, our experience was absolutely fantastic. The hotel is perfectly situated right in the heart of the historic Mangalem quarter, and while navigating the steep cobblestone streets can be an adventure, the incredibly helpful staff made everything completely stress-free....

I was very impressed with this hotel. It is clear the ownership takes pride in their hotel and wants their guests to have a great experience. The decor was phenomenal and true to traditional Albania. The room was very large and spacious, traditional Albanian decor, and the ceiling is hand crafted design. Our room on the first floor had large windows and a beautiful view of the mountains. The staff...

A beautiful place to stay with amazing breakfast A beautiful hotel, well located, amazing breakfast, and friendly staff. There's lots of choices in Berat but I recommend this one!

The hotel was very nice, beautifully decorated and neat. The breakfast was a bit confusing since they didn’t give any portions and you knew the dishes only after they served them to the table. But overall experience very nice though.

The location of the hotel is perfect and close to Berat castle. The hotel is beautiful with authentic Albanian architectural style preserved in the smallest details. The staff is very polite, friendly and professional. The breakfast was great and there are multiple restaurants and dining options nearby the hotel. Excellent service and staff and amazing traditional property. We highly recommend this...

Albanian road trip 2025 We had a one night stay at Hotel Onufri, location was excellent, close to everything, beautiful views from the Terrace. Private parking was invaluable as the Hotel is very near to the Castle which gets very busy. Staff very helpful and Hotel very clean, would definitely recommend.

We booked the day before our stay and were not disappointed. Place was on a main street and has its own parking. Next to a beautiful local mosque. We had room 101- so could hear alot of people checking out (lots of luggage rolling on tiled floors) in the morning. Try and get a room at the end of the corridor!

Portik hotel is very well located, the rooms are nice. The staff is helpful and always trying to help. There is a parking lot under the hotel. The roof restaurant is a very nice place to have breakfast and dinner All and all, I would recommend it.

The location couldn’t be better. Breakfast is quite standard but with an astonishing view over the city. The service and hygiene is a 6/10. Includes a garage which is great to park the car.

This hotel looks nice from the outside and the rooms are airy and spacious. But a few amenities are lacking. There is no drinking water provided, except at a cost, and there are no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. The bathroom hand basin has no bench space on which to place a toilet bag. There is no in-room safe. As we are on a tour, i am unsure of the room rate, so can't assess value for...

had a wonderful stay at Portik Hotel in Berat! The room was very clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the old town. The staff were extremely kind and helpful during my entire stay. I really enjoyed the breakfast – everything was fresh and delicious. The location was perfect for exploring the city. I truly felt welcomed and relaxed. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Berat

Slightly old fashioned hotel, BUT excellent service. Erik was incredibly helpful and gave great service. Great guy! Fabulous rooftop restaurant with great views. Food was fine. Had evening meal elswhere as special event at hotel - a bit annoying!

Family trip with 4 rooms. Amazing service, rooms exemplary clean and spacious. Located in the main square. Thank you for the experience.

The hotel is in the best location. We received a complimentary room upgrade, and the room was very clean and spacious. The staff were friendly, and we were also given the possibility of a late check-out, which was a big advantage for us. Overall, we had a great experience.

Disability accessible. Very clean and modern. Spacious rooms and friendly staff. Good location close to pedestrian boulevard and main street. The breakfast is ok, but not great selection, thus 4/5 stars.

Updated hotel with a large room, comfortable bed, a terrace, and a modern bathroom. Medium quality beakfast was included, but sadly, the coffee was not up to the usual Albanian quality and there was no coffee service in the room. Friendly staff in the restaurant and at the reception desk. Conveniently located right off of the main promenade and close to the river.

Very nice hotel, the staff are pleasant, the room is clean, and the breakfast is decent! The hotel's location is one of its strengths: right in the center! One small downside is that the parking lot is rather small, which can be inconvenient! I recommend this hotel!

The hotel is located by one of the plazas near the river. The room was okay but it faced the street and was noisy. The bathroom was a challenge. No place for putting personal toiletries and the toilet paper was on the opposite wall across from the toilet. Breakfast was okay. There is only one small elevater which causes a traffic jam when groups depart.

Our family of four stayed here for the weekend, and we can't stop talking about how lovely it was! We arrived to the owner waiting on us. She took us straight to our room and was so kind! We had the large room with a queen bed on the bottom level, and two twin beds upstairs for our kids! The hotel was BEAUTIFUL. Gorgeous artwork on the walls made you feel like you were staying in a truly authentic...

Quality place in the old town just on the edge of the mountainside and all the cobbled laneways. + Breakfast is great + Shower decent pressure and hot + Lovely hosts Note on parking - as in old town limited ability to park directly at place. Parking arranged at a space 5-10 minute walk away. But hotel has arrangement with parking place and will facilitate payment.

we were pretty happy with our assigned room, except that we had to walk 3 flights of stairs to get to it. There was no kettle but we were given one when we requested. No table, so we had to place the kettle on the floor to boil our water. Though not marketed as an AIRBNB, it operates like one, though there must be at least a dozen rooms in this building. There's no reception desk! When we arrived...

Great hotel in Berat. Easy walking access to the main pedestrian street with great shops and restaurants. Excellent price, will stay again .

Such a lovely and authentic place. The location is spot on, right next to the 1000 windows view point. The owners are very lovely and are willing to help with anything you need. We didn't have a parking spot, so he just took the car to the private parking spot(cost 2€) and brought it back the next morning. Home like breakfast that the lady prepared just for us and chocolate milk for the kids.

Conveniently located next to the Bachelor Mosque and at the head of the main bridge, I was a bit worried that it might be too noisy. But even with a room facing the street it was very quiet at night. The room is very clean - the floors are well polished that I felt I need remove my shoes immediately after I enter the room. The AC works fine and the decoration was very nice. Bath room is very clean...

Excellent place to stay close to all places. Hotel management very helpfull. Thanks

The hotel is very centrally located right on the Boulevard and has many restaurants and cafe in the surrounding. The check in was very quick and hassle free. The service of all the office staff throughout our stay was outstanding. The rooms are spacious, well lit and airy. The linen was good quality and the breakfast was delicious and good variety. I will definitely recommend.

It has been the best hotel in Albania, all was perfect: clean and big room, breakfast, location, etc. I'd like to say thank you to all the kind and helpful staff, he even park our car inside the hotel, we had a lovely stay in Berat!

Awesome spot! The owner is such a friendly guy and the hotel is right where you want to be. Clean rooms and excellent hospitality. There is a great street of bars and restaurants down the road. There patio is a good one lace for drinks and relaxing.

I visited the beautiful city of Berat with my wife and we decided to stay for 2 nights in Orestiada hotel.The hotel is new, in the center of city,the place is quite,the view of Mangalem and the Castle is spectacular.The breakfast was really delicious and the service is top.The owners love what they do and their son Remi is ready to help you at any moment.Great experience

We stayed one night at this nice hotel. Location is perfect in Boulevard Republica. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. It's a kind of family business. The room is good and simple. A/C was not working properly, so they changed my room to Room 203. Good room with nice view to the boulevard where many people walk all the day. Wi-Fi is excellent. Breakfast in 1st floor, between 8-10 am. We were...

Quaint family-run boutique hotel. The owners are wonderful! We were the only guests and they made us a tremendous breakfast spread. The room was clean and comfortable with a balcony to sit and enjoy the evening.

While traveling in Albania I have met the most wonderful people. Hotel Kaceli was no different. I found a friendly family atmosphere right from the beginning. I felt spoiled by their kind service and attention to detail. The many family-made products at the huge breakfast only added to the charm and to my enjoyment. Hotel Kaceli served as a wonderful home base to explore the charming town of Berat...

The hotel is unique, with a classic style and a wood theme. The hallways are decorated with many distinctive paintings. The only downside is that the hotel rooms are on the basement level, which feels a bit dark and gloomy.

This hotel is absolute gem. A family run hotel and everyone was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The location is so easy into the old city and the castle. The rooms are very quaint, comfortable and very rustic in feeling with a lot of effort out into small details. The breakfast was amazing full of local delicacies and products made proudly by the owners. Definitely a place to stay when you visit...

We choose this property due to its convenient location to the bus station. Buses into the Old Town run regularly. The hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. Room was clean, staff were friendly and included breakfast was nice.

The room was spacious, and the bathroom was also large and very clean. This stay exceeded my expectations. The facilities were complete, the environment was beautiful, comfortable, quiet, and pleasant, with a large yard in front and an orchard in the back. The night was peaceful and serene; it was the first time I slept so soundly on this trip.

A really fantastic venue, with super friendly staff and it was great value for money. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Modern hotel, large minimalist rooms. Good modern shower. Hotel is out of town on a busy road but no road noise in rooms. There is a more traditional taverna across the road if you do not want to eat dinner in hotel. Good breakfast in hotel. Beware, there are bottles of water in fridge and no price list displayed but some members of our party were charged 1 euro per bottle on checkout.

The hotel is very grand and somewhat impersonal, more of a business hotel. It is a way out of town so unless you have transport you will be stuck there away from bars and restaurants. A bit of sharp practice they charge 1 euro a bottle for the water in the fridge on checkout. There is no notice advising of this charge which, in a country where you can't drink the tap water, is a bit stingy for such...

This hotel is a barn of a place. Everything is large. Nice large room with equally large bathroom. TV, Wi-Fi and fridge all good but no tea/coffee. Hotel is a drive away from Berat and on a very busy road. Many of the staff do not speak English. In our room we had a fridge and in it were 2 bottles of water. As we were not near any major shops we assumed they were complimentary also there was no price...

Never stayed at the hotel but ate in Garden Grand quite a few times during 2 week stay. Pasta dishes were delicious and had a huge cheese and meat platter one evening. Excellent prices. I definitely return next year.

The room overlooked a brown field, but very correctly! Great breakfast!

Great location, amazing staff!

The perfect spot in the heart of Berat offering the best view of the town, very delicious traditional food, and exceptional warm hospitality! Thank you, Gabriela, for making our evening amazing!

We had a lovely scenic lunch at the restaurant here. Tasty dishes, friendly service and splendid views from the panoramic terrace. Indoors looked nice, too, with a traditional decor.

Amazing restaurant. The upstairs area is very cozy with a stunning view of the city. Relaxing music plays in the background, making it a perfect atmosphere. The local food is 10 out of 10 and the service is also 10 out of 10.

Very nice place, friendly host, comfortable room, perfect stay 😊

The owner made us feel at home straight away, the hotel and rooms are full of character. Be warned it's a bit of a walk to get there but the views and hospitality more than make up for it. Could not recommend it enough.

Lovely helpful host who came to meet us when we got lost! Walkable from beach, restaurants and bars. Lovely lively area but also quiet once you’re in the apartment. We shared the triple room and it was perfect for what we wanted. Lovely spacious balcony also

We stayed for 2 nights. Really nice place with good service. The lady that runs the hotel is super sweet. She helped us with everything, the breakfast was delicious.

Cozy Bed&Breakfast roughly 10 min walk to Berat's center. A friendly family manages the place and they make sure you have everything you need during your stay. Good quality price service

Located 1 km from the city center, this hotel is ideally located. The very large balcony is a plus. Great continental breakfast. The establishment is very quiet. Note the great kindness and discretion of the hosts.

The owners were lovely, They made me feel safe and welcomed.

Best experience I have ever had in Albania. Booking was simple, you just book and the owner will show you to your room. I have traveled to Albania 6 times and this booking for me was the best. Great service and Food. Would highly recommend renting a car from Tirana Airport if you’re flying in. Visit nearby attractions such as the castle of Berat and other villages.

All good , no complaints. Big room, clean, and spacious.

16 of us from Malaysia had an amazing time in Green House Restaurant. The restaurant is bright and sunny, food was delicious and plentiful. Excellent price quality ratio. Service was excellent as well. A very satisfying dining experience indeed. Thank you

Our group stopped at the Green House for lunch upon the recommendation of our local guide. We ordered chicken, lamb, salad grilled cheese and fries. All the dishes were great especially the lamb. The meal was topped off with yummy gelato. The service was also great as was the atmosphere of the outdoor seating.

Excellent service in a beautiful environment. Perfect for a local coffee

amazing food and they offer tradicional wine. Great!

Really great place to stay. Clean and confortable.Rooms are nice decorated with recycled wood. Breakfast perfect and staff very friendly. Totally recommended.

I was with friends at this hotel for two nights earlier this week in March 2026, as part of our short first visit to Albania. We found the country to be full of surpises, pleasant ones, and we were particularly struck by the photogenic city of Berat and by Hotel Mangalemi, where we were lodged. Berat proved wonderful and so was this very well located historic hotel. Rooms and facilities were excellent...

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Mangalemi. Everything was perfect — the location in the heart of Berat, the beautiful views, the food, and the rooms. The breakfast was excellent and the service was incredible. A special thank you to Gori, who served breakfast, helped us with our suitcases, and did everything he could to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Truly a lovely experience and a place we...

Stayed here 4 nights with my family, later joined by a group of friends who stayed one night, everyone was exceptionally happy and full of praises for this family run boutique hotel! the staff was very attentive , the rooms were attended every day, the beds were super king sized and very comfortable, the breakfast was amazing, but what made it a wonderful experience was the smile on everyone’s face...

This hotel was a delight from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. A welcome drink of Raki before being shown to my room which had a balcony overlooking the hills. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly - and the breakfast was delicious - especially the tomato/cottage cheese/pepper recipe!! 7/11 across the road for snacks as well as several gift shops. Klisman especially was very helpful...

You cannot review Eastern European hotels with the same eye used on Western hotels. They are different. The staff was very accommodating; the owner was onsite. It is an older eclectic hotel with something to see around every corner. It has a medieval / Arabic feel to it. There is a market across the street from the hotel. Lots of impressive stonework and impressive wood in the rooms. I enjoyed my stay...

We booked Hotel Mangalemi because of its great ratings and wonderful comments from other travelers — and it truly lived up to our expectations! Our only regret is that one day wasn’t enough to fully enjoy the stay. We arrived late and had to leave the next day, but even in that short time, we could already see why this hotel is so loved. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the castle...

Absolutely excellent hospitality. We felt very welcome. The rooms were fantastic (with awesome views), the breakfast was delicious, the location is central and the hosts were incredibly kind and attentive. Would happily stay again when next in Berat!

Very good location, close to the center and with all facilities nearby. Beautiful view from the room. The room was very comfortable and clean. Cozy restaurant and delicious food. And above all very positive and helpful staff. Completely satisfied with the stay at this hotel

The hotel was lovely, staff were great and very attentive and helpful. Free parking available on site. Room was clean with towels, shower gels and slippers provided. The views from the hotel room were lovely, overlooking the town and mountains. Breakfast was lovely with a good variety and great coffee, they also had oat milk as an alternative. Lovely location in a nice area of Berat close to the centre...

Really great location, everything is nearby, parking is a big plus, getting there is feasible. Very friendly staff, nice room, amazing view from the balcony. Breakfast was always the same, but delicious, coffee was good!

Complete your stay in Berat by choosing this hotel! ❤️ Our original booking in Berat was cancelled - and what a stroke of luck that turned out to be! We couldn't have ended up at a better place than Hotel Rezidenca Desaret. It's a lovely family-run hotel where service is truly a top priority. The whole family is so welcoming, especially the two young women who work incredibly hard and go above and...

Located at the start of the steep street up to the castle, this family run place is super welcoming and helpful. Rooms are modern but the one we were in (# 111) was smallish. All amenities work well and parking is available. Breakfasts were a standout and served with panache. It is an easy walk into the centre of town, but a trudge up to the castle unless you have a car (we did). We loved this place...

Excellent location across the river, away from the noise of traffic and bars but 2 mins walk away from the centre. Free parking. Simple, basic accommodation, well maintained with air conditioning within the local style. Overall staff was friendly but didn't go the extra mile to offer advice or help with luggage. Breakfast is cooked on order which makes the process a bit slow and tedious but quality...

There’s nothing more beautiful than sipping a cocktail with friends while soaking in the breathtaking view of Mangalem by night. Wine Bar Muzaka offers not just drinks, but a whole experience—where every glass comes with a side of history, charm, and magic. The cocktails were refreshing and beautifully crafted (especially the blue one—so vibrant and fun!), the ambiance was cozy with candlelight warmth...

We had a great experience at the Muzaka wine bar. We tried several types of local and Italian wines, but the one we liked the most was the Italian Costago wine. Would reccomand 100%

Best hotel in Berat.. cosy rooms, great people, delicious food.. i have stayed in Muzakanfor very long time, its been a wonderful time spend at Muzaka hotel. The pictoresque view pf Mangalem, adds more reason why to choose Muzaka Hotel. AWESOME..

I had an exceptional dining and breakfast experience at Muzaka. The food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch. The staff was incredibly polite and attentive, making the whole experience delightful. A special mention to Marleo and Bruno, whose excellent service truly stood out. Their professionalism and friendliness added a memorable touch to our meal. I highly recommend Muzaka for anyone...

A warm Albanian welcome Very clean and classic interior Lovely shower Food hearty portions of traditional fair catering for special dietary needs. The wine it just gets better, locally sourced, I wish I could get at home. All of this with a view that will stay with you forever. The city of windows.

This hotel is amazing! Right in the center of Berat, it’s super convenient for exploring the city. The 360° rooftop bar on the 7th floor is absolutely stunning—perfect for catching a sunset or just soaking in the views of Berat and the surrounding mountains. Breakfast was a treat, with fresh, local ingredients that really hit the spot. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and had some of the best views...

Perfect location for visiting Berat

Room was very small, bathroom wasn’t functional and there wasn’t any place to put the toothbrush and in our second day only the bed was made room wasn’t cleaned

I spent 1 night here , I was on an Explore tour. The views from this hotel are fantastic, I was on the 4th floor and had a great view from my bedroom. Breakfast is on the 7th floor , probably the most stunning view I have ever eaten Breakfast too. The room was comfortable, clean and tidy. Bed comfortable, shower good. The WiFi signal is strong and stable. Centrally located, there is a supermarket...

Central location for restaurants and sightseeing. Friendly and helpful staff

Nice newer hotel, not soundproof. Loud music keeps up until about midnight. Comfortable mattress, pillows are too big and uncomfortable. Rooms don't have teakettle. Toilet is inside the shower area. Breakfast was mediocre at best

AMAZING STOP! On a road trip travelling down the country and wanted to break up the journey. The castle was incredibly interesting with the museum definitely worth seeing with the beautiful religious artworks and artifacts. The castle grounds have many cafés/bars and shops. The views are amazing as well - beautiful Albanian countryside with views of snow topped mountains. Visited early in the morning...

Berat Castle is such a beautiful and peaceful place, full of charm and history. Inside the castle, there’s a small café run by a lovely elderly lady, and the whole experience felt incredibly warm and special. She served us fresh coffee along with a delicious orange treat, and everything about the moment was simply wonderful. Her kindness and sweet presence made the visit even more memorable. A truly...

This is a UNESCO world heritage site. Berat Castle is a truly authentic experience. This is not just a historical monument but a living castle, with old stone houses still inhabited by locals, giving it a unique and genuine atmosphere. Walking through the cobbled streets feels like stepping back in time. The Onufri Museum is a highlight, with remarkable icons and rich history, and the panoramic views...

I visited Berat and it was very beautiful. The castle was amazing, and we had coffee there. The entrance to the castle was free. Then we went to the old neighborhood, which was also very beautiful and full of history. After that, we went to Roshnik for lunch — 10/10, I highly recommend it!🫶🏻💌✨

If you're in Berat, make sure to visit Berat Castle—it’s one of the top highlights in the city. The location offers incredible panoramic views over the Osum River, the Gorica Bridge, and the iconic red rooftops of Mangalem. It’s both a historic site and a living neighborhood, with locals still residing within the castle walls. Getting There: You can drive up (recommended if you prefer comfort—there...

It’s one of many citadels on the hill surrounded by walls, typical to this region. The walks and sights are really nice, but apart from a few small churches (most are closed) and a lovely icon museum there’s not much to see here. I am not sure sure if all this is worth the rather steep climb - I’d say yes, but if the weather is good, in the morning or in the evening :)
