This new, fully updated sixth edition of Bradt's Armenia remains the only standalone English-language guide to this mountainous country after the Soviet Union, located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Packed with detailed information and invaluable practical advice, Bradt's Armenia remains the essential choice for anyone traveling to this beautiful country, which is now easily and affordably accessible by air.
Following recent political changes, the history of this new democracy is being rapidly rewritten, with transformations extending far beyond the vibrant capital Yerevan. Road infrastructure has significantly improved, while rural tourism is flourishing even in remote provinces, catering to visitors exploring areas off the beaten path.
New features in this edition include: expanded coverage of new economic accommodations in Yerevan and provincial capitals; enhanced information on Yerevan, designed to inspire the city visitor, including art, culture, and nightlife; a wealth of new information for adventurous travelers, including over 300 km of new hiking trails created since 2018; and an enhanced language section designed to facilitate communication with Armenians.
Bradt's Armenia provides the information you need for a successful trip, covering all the most popular attractions as well as those off the beaten path, including Dilijan National Park and the stunning wooded mountains of Tavush, an area experiencing a revival as a place to reconnect with nature. The village of Areni, one of the birthplaces of wine; and Vayots Dzor, the 'valley of sorrow,' whose side valleys are rich in opportunities for wildlife observation. Included are the village of Tatev and the Vorotan Gorge, as well as the Orbelian Caravanserai and other remnants of the ancient Silk Road trading network that once traversed the Caucasus region.
Rich in history and stunning landscapes, Armenia is a truly enchanting country. Whether you are seeking ancient monasteries scattered among dramatic scenery, wandering through one of Yerevan's impressive museums, or admiring the intricate sculptural carvings at Noratus, you will find opportunities to delve into the past of this nation at every turn. Add to this the hospitable locals, excellent hiking opportunities, and abundant birdlife, and you will soon discover why Armenia deserves more than a fleeting visit.
