Berat has a population of just 40,665, so don't expect the creature comforts of a big city. The tax burden is heavy, and bureaucracy is a persistent headache. However, the city's stunning architecture and mountain scenery provide ample charm, especially for history buffs drawn to its UNESCO-protected historic center. Berat may be best suited for those seeking an authentic taste of Albanian provincial life.
