Berat is a compact UNESCO town best explored on foot. The historic quarters (Mangalem, Gorica, Kalaja) are all walkable from the centre. Furgons (shared minivans) connect Berat to Tirana, Vlora, and Fier; small dogs in carriers are generally accepted. Taxis are privately negotiated and almost always dog-friendly.

💡 Quick Tips

1.The road up to Kalaja castle is steep cobblestone and gets slippery when wet; use a short leash on the ascent.
2.Furgons to Tirana depart from the central bus station near the main roundabout; journey is about 2.5 hours and costs 400 ALL (roughly €4).
3.Local taxis charge flat rates for the city; agree the fare before entering and mention your dog proactively.

Can I reach Berat by train?
