Begin your adventure with a scenic drive to Dilijan, a charming town nestled in the lush forests of the Dilijan National Park. Known as the "Switzerland of Armenia" for its pristine landscapes, Dilijan is filled with picturesque wooden houses, quiet streets, and a peaceful atmosphere. Take a stroll through the old town and enjoy its scenic beauty before visiting the Haghartsin Monastery, a 10th-century complex set amid the forests. The monastery offers a serene environment and is one of the country’s best-preserved historical sites.

Next, head to Lake Sevan, one of the largest freshwater high-altitude lakes in the world. Known as the "Jewel of Armenia," Sevan is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. Visit Sevanavank Monastery, perched on a hilltop overlooking the sparkling blue waters of the lake. The panoramic views from the monastery are breathtaking, and you’ll have the chance to learn about the historical and cultural significance of the lake. Enjoy some leisure time to relax, take in the views, or taste the local fish, a regional delicacy.

After soaking in the natural beauty of Dilijan and Sevan, your journey continues to Yerevan, Armenia’s bustling capital city. Yerevan is a vibrant mix of modern energy and ancient history. Visit Republic Square, the heart of the city, and admire its grand Soviet-era buildings and fountains. Take a walk along Northern Avenue, a lively street lined with cafes, shops, and cultural venues.

Pay a visit to the Armenian Genocide Memorial, a poignant site dedicated to the memory of the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide. From the memorial, enjoy panoramic views of the city and Mount Ararat, an iconic symbol for Armenians.
