Korçë is Albania's southeastern cultural capital, a city of unusual elegance that locals affectionately call 'Little Paris.' Situated at around 850 metres above sea level on a high plateau near the Greek and North Macedonian borders, the city developed in the 19th century as a prosperous trading town whose merchants travelled widely and returned with foreign ideas and money. The first Albanian-language school opened here in 1887; the Orthodox Cathedral of the Resurrection (rebuilt after its communist-era destruction) and the National Museum of Medieval Art — with the finest collection of Byzantine iconography outside Greece — anchor the old quarter around the restored bazaar. The old bazaar itself, with its cobblestones, arched passages, and wood-and-stone workshops, is the most atmospheric in Albania.
The city is also the heartland of Albanian beer culture (Korça Beer, founded 1928, is the country's best-selling brand) and of a distinctive gastronomy: qifqi — rice balls seasoned with fresh mint and fried in egg — are a Korçë speciality found nowhere else. In December, Korçë hosts Albania's most beloved Christmas market, drawing visitors from across the country and the diaspora. The city's proximity to Lake Ohrid and to the Dardha and Voskopojë mountain villages makes it a natural base for exploring the Albanian southeast.
