Festive spirit is spreading across Albania as December begins. City squares and main streets now shine with Christmas trees and bright holiday lights.

Throughout the month, cities host concerts, live music, and various performances. Celebrations will culminate on New Year’s Eve, 31 December.

Local fairs and small wooden booths stay open all month. Businesses offer regional bio products, giving a boost to the local economy.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared new photos of Berat’s holiday decorations.

The “city of a thousand windows” glows with a magical atmosphere. The historic center and the bridges over the Osum River are fully illuminated.

Colorful lights reflecting on the water have turned Berat into a favorite seasonal destination. Many local and foreign tourists have chosen to spend December in this historic city.

Gift-box light installations, Santa with his sleigh, and the illuminated tunnel in the central park have become the most popular photo spots for visitors.
