Berat is an easy day trip from Tirana if you leave early and plan parking.
What to know
- Allow about two hours each way on the SH4 / SH72 corridor in normal traffic.
- Park below the historic centre and walk up — narrow streets are not built for rental cars.
- Aim to leave Berat before dusk so the return is still daylight.
A compact car is enough; you do not need a large SUV for this route.
