Day trip from Tbilisi to Armenia with return to Tbilisi

Discover the beauty of Armenia on a guided day trip from Tbilisi. Explore the Haghpat Monastery Complex, visit the resort town of Dilijan, and stroll along the shores of Lake Sevan.
Begin your journey with a visit to the Haghpat Monastery Complex, a 10th-century UNESCO World Heritage site perched on a high plateau overlooking the Debed River Canyon. Discover medieval churches adorned with unique frescoes, intricately carved khachkars (cross-stones), an ancient scriptorium, and a standalone bell tower. Learn about Armenian architectural history and medieval monastic life.

Continue to Dilijan, a famous resort town surrounded by the dense forests of Dilijan National Park, often referred to as "Armenian Switzerland." Stroll down the historic Sharambeyan Street, lined with restored 19th-century carved wooden balconies and artisan workshops. Stop for lunch in this charming town.

Next, head to Lake Sevan, one of the largest high-altitude freshwater lakes in Eurasia, perched at roughly 1,900 meters above sea level. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, taking in the turquoise waters framed by mountain ranges and the fresh alpine air.

Visit the Sevanavank Monastery, an ancient 9th-century monastic complex built from black tufa on the Lake Sevan peninsula. Climb the stone staircase to the monastery, offering panoramic views over the lake. Hear the story of Princess Mariam, who founded the monastery, and learn about the region's history.

Stop at the Mother Armenia Monument, a majestic sculpture in Victory Park rising above Yerevan, symbolizing national strength and peace. Explore the military museum inside the pedestal and enjoy a bird's-eye panoramic view of the city from the observation deck in front of the monument.

Continue to the Yerevan Cascade, a giant travertine staircase featuring sculpture gardens, fountains, and modern global art installations. Walk down the terraces while viewing contemporary artworks and visit the Cafesjian Center for the Arts.

End your tour with an evening walk through Republic Square, the central square of Armenia, designed in a unified pink tufa architectural style by architect Alexander Tamanian. See the Government House, the History Museum of Armenia, and the Singing Fountains. Enjoy free time in the city center before returning to Tbilisi.
