Armenia

CITY & CULTURE

Yerevan

Republic Square, the Cascade and the Vernissage market connect architecture, public life and Armenian craft.

Balance museums and markets with time for cafés and neighbourhood walks.

TEMPLES & MONASTERIES

Garni & Geghard

Garni’s classical temple and the rock-cut spaces of Geghard offer two distinct historic experiences near the capital.

Religious spaces call for modest dress and a quiet, respectful approach.

HIGHLAND LAKE

Lake Sevan

Open water, mountain air and the Sevanavank setting make a striking change from the city.

Even in warmer months, bring a layer and allow for exposed, windy viewpoints.

FORESTS & VILLAGES

Dilijan

Wooded hills, walking trails and traditional streets invite a slower countryside stay.

Choose a walk that fits the season, conditions and the group’s level of comfort.

MONASTERY & MOUNTAIN VIEWS

Khor Virap

This monastery is one of Armenia’s recognisable historic settings, with Mount Ararat rising beyond the surrounding plain.

Visibility depends on weather. Allow time for the monastery itself as well as the view.

Lavash

Thin traditional flatbread, often baked in a tonir and served with herbs, cheeses or a meal.

Dolma

Stuffed vine leaves or vegetables with regional variations in filling and seasoning.

Gata

A rich sweet pastry found in different forms around the country.
