Armenia on the Road

A place of natural beauty - don't miss a trip out of the city to this canyon to see the impressive rock formations, formed from volcanic activity.

Nice main square featuring water fountains that light up at night. Surrounded by impressive government buildings, with many shops and resaurants nearby.

A colossal figure of a woman with a sheathed sword that looks out over the city of Yerevan.

Beautiful, highly decorated mosque that is free to enter and you can walk through the gardens. This is the only remaining mosque in Yerevan!

Beautiful catholic church, the oldest in Yerevan.

Beautiful monastery, free to enter and on a clear day you can see Mount Ararat (important Armenian symbol)

9th century monastery that overlooks Lake Sevan, free to enter, short but steep walk up to reach the top.

A handful of food stalls located at the base of the steps up to Sevanavank Monastery. The bakery stall makes fresh gata - a local sweet treat that you have to try during your time in Armenia!

Lovely place in Dilijan for a drink or bite to eat, located right by the lake with both indoor and outdoor seating.

Small but unique tavern with private rooms - the Kebabs and beer were very good and reasonably priced. Out of the city centre but a good restaurant if staying in this area.

Viewpoint over the red mountains and bright blue waters of the Azat reservoir - easy to miss the turning so keep your eye out as you drive past

Monastery within the Dilijan National Park that is free to enter. The drive up through the forests adds to the charm of this beautiful spot.

This well-preserved temple sits on a hill overlooking the symphony of stones. Entry costs 1500 AMD, but if you're interested in the history consider going with a guide to get the most out of your visit.

Great place to try traditional Armenian food with friendly staff. This restaurant is well priced but small portions so we recommend ordering multiple dishes to share.

High street with lots of shops and hotels - nice pedestrian area of the city.

This area has scenic river and mountain views from the road as you travel between Yerevan & Tbilisi.

Nice, quiet spot to walk through with lots of artists and paintings

Beautiful and authentic restaurant with outdoor seating and true Armenian hospitality. Great place to stop for food on a roadtrip!

Good value accommodation just outside of the city centre with secure car parking. Clean and comfortable rooms with views over the city!

Large open-air street market with lots of Armenian souvenirs and antiques - worth a quick visit even if you don't decide to buy anything
