Things to do here

Berat has no dedicated coworking spaces but its café culture works well for remote workers — reliable WiFi (20–50 Mbps at the best spots), outlets at most tables, and coffee at €0.50–1.50. Laptops are unremarkable here; nobody minds an all-day session if you keep buying. The bonus is that most good work cafés also have terrace views over the old town.
