From Tirana: Berat City UNESCO Heritage and Belshi Lake Tour – Muzeu Kombëtar Ikonografik Onufri, Albania

EXPERIENCE

Embark on a cultural and artistic pilgrimage. See master painter Onufri’s work in the churches of Berat. Visit Berat Castle, Onufri Museum, Mangalemi & Gorica neighborhoods, and Gorica bridge.

Meet your guide at your hotel and start the tour of Berat city. Berat is one of the most visited and characteristic towns in Albania. It is under the protection of UNESCO and considered a World Heritage site due to its unique architecture.

Visit Berat Castle and the Onufri Museum. The Berat castle is of particular interest because people still live within its walls in their traditional houses, just like their ancestors did for centuries. Explore this fortress overlooking the town of Berat and its many Byzantine churches.

Witness some of the most beautiful shades of red and gold you have ever laid eyes on in the museum. Then, continue to your next stop in the old quarters of Mangalemi and Gorica that connect with each other by the Gorica Bridge over the Osumi River.
On the way back you will visit Belshi, a very small town, with a small lake in front of the buildings.
