Guided tour of the old city of Berat (616112)

What you can expect

Berat is one of the oldest inhabited regions of Albania, more than 2400 years old, and with special status from UNESCO. It is a beautiful museum town, and it is Albania's second museum town, sometimes called “the city of a thousand windows” due to its particular architectural style with houses with lots of windows almost on top of each other.

Visit the castle, Onufri Museum and several churches and mosques. Onufri was an Albanian master painter of the 16th. Many of his wonderfully painted icons still remain in the museum, while others can be found in churches in Albania and Greece where he worked.

• In the downtown you'll visit the Leaden Mosque, the King's Mosque, the Bachelor's Mosque and the Alveti Tekke, and the old Bridge of Gorica.
