Overview

In a far-flung corner of Europe lie the highlands of Armenia, a magical landscape of deep forests and river gorges dotted with medieval monasteries, wildflower meadows and rural villages. The terrain spans ancient lands and dramatic mountains with snow-capped peaks. Discover Armenia's welcoming capital, Yerevan, along with its other cities. This intriguing nation is steeped in tradition, with a 1,600 year old alphabet and wine-making methods dating back to 6,000 BC. The best months to visit Armenia are June to September, when you’ll enjoy warmer weather and be treated to either spring and summer wildflowers or vibrant autumn colours.
