TOURINFO-In an article published on January 05, 2020, by Stuff (New Zealand’s largest and most popular news site) Travel Reporter Lorna Thornber, Armenia is among Top 10 destinations in 2020 to travel.
It’s a favorite with Kim Kardashian West, who recently had her children baptized in the country, but this tiny Caucasus nation gets far fewer visitors than one would expect for a country with such a fascinating (albeit tragic) history.
The “pink city” of Yerevan, so-nicknamed for its Soviet buildings hewn from salmon-hued stone, is bound to enchant, as are Dilijan National Park, home to bears, lynx, and wolves; swimmable Lake Sevan and the photogenic monasteries that dot the countryside. “Yerevan’s past and spectacular architecture makes it a must-experience destination,” said Booking.com in a report on its reader poll.
Must-visit sites include Republic Square, the Cascade (a monumental Soviet stairway featuring fountains, sculptures, and a tranquil garden courtyard), the Ancient Roman temple of Garni, and Etchmiadzin, said to be the oldest cathedral in the world.
The other destinations are Adelaide, Australia, Cebu, Philippines, New York, USA, Sri Lanka, The Silk Road, Rijeka, Croatia, Seoul, South Korea, Salta, Argentina.
