Summary/Abstract: Berat is one of the most beautiful places in Albania, attracting thousands of tourists. The Ethnographic Museum, a former traditional house, today reassessed as a city museum represents one of the main attractions. The surrounding urban context in the proximity of the building presents some analogies with the organic structure of the historic quarters. Virtual travel is an innovative form of tourism where users can experience a place by being actively and meaningfully engaged with the history, people, culture, artefacts and environment of a specific historical period. Our goal was to create a user-friendly platform that empowers users with easy access to a vast range of cultural resources, thereby enhancing their overall experience. The proposed virtual tour is going to be a step forward in the museum sector because it will offer users a different experience based on interactivity thanks to 3D Virtual Reality.
