The first place to officially adopt Christianity, Armenia is an ancient landlocked country of mountains and monasteries hewn from rock. With many temples and stelae dating back at least 1,000 years, Armenia feels like a land where time stopped long ago. The capital, Yerevan, may be one of the world’s oldest cities, but is also a happening cultural hub, with an avant-garde musical scene, creative sculptures, and a unique art museum housed within a monumental staircase.
Over the centuries, Armenia has seen periods of glory and empire, and periods under the heel of one foreign ruler or another. These influences, from Russia to Persia, have left their marks on the local culture, which combines unique traditions, architecture, and food, with some of the best aspects of its neighbors. With millennia of history on display, amidst stunning natural beauty, along with excellent, unique foods, Armenia is a must for any traveler seeking something new.
