Day Trip to Berat & Belsh from Tirana

Why Choose Day Trips Albania

With Day Trips Albania, every journey is designed to feel personal, authentic, and memorable. We keep our groups small (maximum 16 guests) so you’ll enjoy comfort, storytelling, and genuine encounters without the rush of mass tourism. Our guides are passionate about sharing Albania’s heritage, and we carefully select experiences that connect you with both history and nature.

Discover Berat – Albania’s Timeless Jewel

Berat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known as the “Town of 1001 Windows.” Its hillside of Ottoman‑era houses, cobbled streets, and Byzantine churches make it one of Albania’s most picturesque destinations.

Highlights of Berat:

• Berat Castle (Kala): A living fortress where families still reside within the ancient walls.
• Onufri Museum: Home to priceless Byzantine icons and religious art.
• Mangalem & Gorica Quarters: Historic neighborhoods with stone houses and riverside charm.
• Gorica Bridge: A beautiful Ottoman bridge connecting the two sides of the city.
• Local artisan encounters: Craftspeople preserving centuries‑old traditions.

Explore Belsh – The Land of 85 Lakes

Belsh is a hidden gem in central Albania, famous for its natural beauty and serene landscapes. Surrounded by rolling hills and shimmering lakes, it offers a peaceful contrast to Berat’s historic atmosphere.

Highlights of Belsh:

• Belsh Lakes: A cluster of more than 85 natural lakes, perfect for photography and relaxation.
• Scenic walks: Gentle trails around the lakes, ideal for connecting with nature.
• Local hospitality: Family‑run cafés and restaurants serving traditional Albanian dishes.
• Cultural charm: A town that blends rural simplicity with warm community spirit.

Why This Trip Stands Out

• Two destinations in one day: Experience both cultural heritage and natural beauty.
• UNESCO history + lakeside serenity: A perfect balance of exploration and relaxation.
• Premium service: Small group size, expert guides, and authentic encounters.
• Scenic contrasts: From Berat’s medieval fortress to Belsh’s tranquil lakes.
