At the crossroads of Asia and Europe, little-visited Armenia is worth getting off the beaten track for. Its long history and culture can be found in almost every part of the country from the many fortresses and churches scattered across the mountains to the local traditional carpet weavers and lacemakers. It can be tasted in its Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine and heard at its many festivals and musical performances. With so much to see, do and experience, we’ve put together this essential travel guide to help you plan your perfect adventure in Armenia…
Autumn (in particular September and October) is when Armenia is at its driest and has comfortable temperatures, making it a great time to visit. The summers can get incredibly hot. While the winters are cold, it's a good time to visit the cities to avoid the crowds. Those keen to experience Armenia’s festivals should visit in June.
