Begin your tour in the heart of the old town, among the characteristic houses of Mangalem, known as the “town of one over one windows.” Your guide will introduce you to the history of Berat families, the tradition of crafts and trade, and the spirit of religious coexistence that has shaped the city through the centuries.

Stroll along the cobbled streets and stop near the main monuments of the lower town and at the most picturesque viewpoints facing the Osum River. Blend history, local legends, and stories of everyday life, turning Berat into a true living museum where architecture and human stories meet.

Conclude your experience with a local products tasting in an authentic family house within the old town (or at our Local Spot), offering a genuine flavour of Berat hospitality without leaving the historic centre.
Qako House – the Interreligious Harmony House of Berat – is a living symbol of coexistence, where centuries-old traditions, faiths, and stories meet under one roof. Step inside to discover how diverse communities shaped a culture of respect, dialogue, and shared heritage that still defines the city today.
Enjoy artisanal raki, Turkish-style coffee, and seasonal bites such as suxhuk, homemade pastries, or the dessert of the day.

During the tasting, your hosts will share stories about family traditions, the preparation of these products, and the role of food in Berat’s social life — an intimate and cultural encounter rather than just a tasting.
