Why book a Berat day trip from Tirana

What you’ll see on the Berat tour from Tirana

Berat’s historic core spreads across several neighborhoods, each with a different perspective on the city.

The route often includes stops tied to iconography and religious heritage, plus landmarks that show how different communities shaped Berat highlights.

The experience also takes you through the classic old-town districts, where the famous stacked-window facades make sense in real life, not just in photos. Expect time for walking, viewpoints, and short guided explanations that connect sites to the bigger story of Berat.

You’ll also have a block of free time to take photos, explore at your own pace, and choose lunch independently.
