Armenia is the land of juicy apricots, potent brandy, UNESCO listed monasteries, rusty Ladas, and creamy hummus. But it’s a country we didn’t know too much about; there just aren’t many travel blog posts online.

Discoveries of the world’s oldest monuments and objects are right here in Armenia, and it’s mind-blowing: the world’s oldest cathedral, winery, and leather shoe are right here!

And Armenia was the first country to declare itself Christian. So many world firsts in this small country.

With all this history and culture, you’ll find fascinating things to see and do throughout the country.

Journey down south to Goris to explore Tatev Monastery, hike in Dilijan, explore Debed Canyon, see all the ancient monasteries, watch lavash being cooked in a traditional tonir, explore a Roman temple, try pomegranate wine, and take full advantage of the vibrant restaurant and bar scene in Yerevan.

After spending six weeks exploring Armenia from north to south, these are all our top tips on travelling this beautiful country!
