Time
15–30 min
Care
Steep steps and exposure

City Rock is Përmet’s most immediate orientation point. The rock rises above buildings and the Vjosa bank.

Steps toward the top are short, but their steepness and condition require care. Local legends should be read as stories, not historical records.

Before you go

In the town centre. Check the steps, avoid peak heat, and do not climb when surfaces are wet.
