Country Guide

Our Editorial team's advice

Armenia is worth the journey, as long as you entrust the organization of your trip to a specialised travel agency. Single travellers risk coming up against insurmountable problems. In this country that is hardly open to tourism at all, moving around, eating and communicating become complicated activities very quickly. It is recommended that travellers take individual taxis, which are cheaper and safer than collective taxis. You therefore need a lot of willpower. The most interesting itinerary begins with the discovery of the history of Erevan, which is three thousand years old. You can then go east and stop at Etchmiadzine, the Armenian Rome, at Ghegand, to see its monastery sculpted in the rock, and the village of Tsakhkadzor. Finally, you will reach the magnificent lake Sevan, which is surrounded by mountains.
