All about Armenia
When to Visit
Armenia is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is during spring (April to June) or autumn (September to October). These months offer pleasant weather, vibrant landscapes, and ideal conditions for sightseeing and hiking. Winter attracts visitors for its snowy mountains and ski resorts, while summer is perfect for exploring Yerevan’s nightlife and festivals. Be mindful of national holidays like Independence Day (September 21), which can make for an even more festive experience.
Getting Around
Public transportation in Armenia is affordable and includes buses, minibusses (marshrutkas), and taxis. For a more comfortable experience, hiring a private driver or renting a car is recommended, especially for visiting remote monasteries and scenic landscapes. In Yerevan, the metro is efficient and easy to navigate. Keep in mind that road signs may not always be in English, so a GPS or a guide can be very helpful.
Traveler Tips
Armenia is a safe and welcoming destination, but cash is king in many areas, so carry Armenian dram (AMD). Respect cultural customs, especially when visiting religious sites, by dressing modestly. Local dishes like khorovats (barbecue) and lavash (flatbread) are a must-try. Don’t miss the chance to interact with locals—they’re incredibly hospitable and love sharing stories about their rich heritage.
