“Berat is another UNESCO World Heritage city and one of Albania’s most iconic destinations. It’s often called the “City of a Thousand Windows” because of the rows of white Ottoman houses on the hillside, each built with lots of large windows.
The Osum River runs through the centre of Berat, with the two neighbourhoods of Mangalem and Gorica on either side.
Exploring these neighbourhoods is the best part about visiting Berat. They’re made up of narrow, winding streets, and it’s so easy to get lost in them and discover amazing shops, restaurants and cafes.”
