Why visit Korca

Korca is one of Albania's most cultured cities — cobblestone streets, Orthodox churches, a carnival in summer and the country's oldest brewery. It's a gateway to Lake Ohrid and Prespa.

Planning your visit

Korca is best suited to culture, food, off-the-beaten-path. Allow 1–2 days to do it justice. For the most current opening hours, ticket prices and transport details, check official sources before you travel — these change seasonally.
