Amazing castle and scenery Berat

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00It was an amazing experience traveling to Berat with Amarda as a local guide! We started at 10 a.m. and drove to Berat from the hotel in Tirana (I can recommend the Bristol Hotel!). Berat is really worth visiting, the scenery is beautiful with the lake separating the two old communitues. Very historical city! You can also get traditional food, there are also vegetarian options. The castle itself is on the top of the mountain, of course you need to walk up quite a bit but it was fine! Prepare yourself for the heat :) The castle area is big, there is a museum about art and religion and several churches. Amarda gave me a great insight into the history of this place and Albania in general. She has a great way of explaining and describing history and culture, she is very motivated and open-minded! I can definitely recommend this tour!!
