Why Visit Armenia?

A destination where you will be intrigued by history, awed by the spectacular landscapes and charmed by down-to-earth locals. Armenia is an off-the-beaten-track treasure sandwiched between Asia and Europe. Ride on the world's longest aerial tramway, enjoy beautiful views of Mount Ararat from Yerevan or watch the locals prepare the Armenian national flatbread, Lavash. However, the extraordinary collection of medieval monasteries scattered across the country is the number-one attraction, closely followed by a dramatically beautiful landscape.
