The city of Berat is rather fondly known as the “Museum City of Albania” by the locals, and rightly so. Aged just slightly over 2,400 years, the city is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is a unique melting pot of both Western and Eastern cultures. The city itself is broken down into three segments, namely Gorica, Mangalemi and Kala. Drop by this end of Albania and mesmerize your eyes with the sight of Byzantine churches as well as the one-of-a-kind castle city that is Antipatrea. You’ll also be looking for an affordable place to stay, so why not take a look at the following Airbnb vacation rentals in Berat? They might just have what you need, and more!
