Amberd Fortress Tours

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.

Also, for a 4-star hotel, more fluent English at reception would help international guests. Overall, a lovely place with room for small improvements.
