Perched on a hill overlooking the ancient city of Fez, Borj Nord is a historic fortress that offers a glimpse into Morocco's rich past. Built in the 16th century, this impressive structure was originally designed to protect the city from invaders and has since become a symbol of Fez's architectural heritage. Visitors can explore the well-preserved ramparts and enjoy panoramic views of the sprawling medina below, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The fortress houses a fascinating museum dedicated to arms and armor, showcasing a collection that spans centuries and reflects the military history of the region. As you wander through the fortress, you will encounter intricate stonework and beautiful gardens that enhance the site's charm. The surrounding area is also rich in history, with nearby attractions such as the Royal Palace and the famous tanneries of Fez. The blend of history, culture, and stunning vistas makes Borj Nord a must-visit destination for travelers. Whether you're a history buff or simply looking to soak in the breathtaking views, Borj Nord offers an unforgettable experience. Don't forget your camera, as the views from the top are truly spectacular.
Got ticket at better price from Pelago. I would recommend to buy tkt till summit as the final climb thru stairs is steep. Better to buy full package, mono rail from Sun plaza, then Cable car to Fansipan and finally funnicular to the summit. I think it's a must visit when in Sapa.
Very easy to use and fuss free. I would suggest those who purchase to keep a soft copy/screenshot of the QR code because if there's no internet, cannot open Pelago app. Pelago will also send the softcopy via WhatsApp so just save it from there to your gallery or phone for easy reference. Other than that, no issues with the QR.
Seamless & convenient as only the QR code (on Pelago issued voucher) needs to be scanned in at point of entry at building - which is way better than having to quene for the tickets separately. Noted also it was cheaper as compared to buying the tickets at retail price (1200 BHT) at the building itself, great promo with drink packaged in, which came handy as bags more than 25 cm had to be stored in lockers at entrance due to observatory restrictions.
