    Berat

    After our castle visit, we'll descend to the city center, specifically the renowned Mangalemi neighborhood. The exceptionally well-preserved architecture of the buildings in this area makes it feel like a journey back in time to the Middle Ages.

Our walking tour of the city center will encompass significant landmarks such as:-The city gate and former Pasha's residence -The Sultan's Mosque -Bachelors' Mosque -The Hanging Bridge -Berat's bustling boulevard -Gorica Bridge, and more.We will walk to the Gorica Brigde. One of the most beautiful and old bridges in Albania. It served as the only connection between the two parts of the cities devided by Osumi river, Gorica neighberhood and Mangalemi neigberhood. We will walk around the stone roads of Gorica neighberhood, just like many people did hundreds of years ago.Enjoy free time in Berat, time also to enjoy lunch. After the free time, you will return back!
