You might be free to visit today, but Amberd Fortress hasn't always been so welcoming! Get to know the story behind this mighty stronghold and exactly what it was built to defend.

You'll be spoiled for sightseeing choice when staying in Byurakan. Amberd Fortress is a good place to kick off here, but there are loads of other fine places to explore. Byurakan Observatory, Tegher Monastery, and St. Hovhannes are close to the history-filled fortress and and will cap off your day nicely.

9/10 Wonderful! (2 reviews)
The property is great and very clean, the location is perfect and walking distance from the best restaurants. The only negative was that I paid for breakfast for 2 guests and showed them my Expedia reservation saying I paid for breakfast for 2, but the hotel worker did not honor the breakfast reservation and charged me again.
