Berat attracts growing number of tourists as visitors explore history and culture

TIRANA, May 19 – The city of Berat continues to welcome an increasing number of tourists throughout the year. Known as the “city of one above the other windows”, it offers a mix of history, culture and traditional hospitality. Prime Minister Edi Rama shared images of visitors exploring key attractions and said tourists from different countries are enjoying the city’s heritage and hospitality.
Meanwhile, visitors move through the main cultural sites, including the castle, the museum districts and the historic neighbourhoods of Goricë and Mangalem. They also visit the Onufri Museum and the Ethnographic Museum. Berat, a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserves Ottoman-era houses, churches and mosques set against hills and mountains along the Osum River.
The Berat Castle remains the main landmark. The Roman-era fortress stands on a rocky hill overlooking the city. Tourist numbers have continued to rise in recent years. The summer season is expected to bring strong performance not only in Berat but also across other destinations in the country.
