About Berat for Solo Travelers

A UNESCO Ottoman hillside city of white houses and a thousand arched windows — solo travelers wander Berat's ancient castle district and find one of Europe's least-visited and most atmospheric medieval towns.

Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Berat is Albania's "City of a Thousand Windows" and a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the Ottoman old town (Mangalem) climbs the hillside to the castle, and the entire ensemble is small enough to walk completely solo in a morning. Very safe, very few tourists, and the Albanian hospitality is extraordinary. The raki (grape brandy) tastings in local homes are offered freely and are a genuine solo cultural experience.
