7-Day Armenia Travel Guide

See the real Armenia in 7 days – Created by local experts

After living in Armenia for a year and returning 8+ times, we created the 7-day self-drive itinerary we wish every first-time visitor had. It includes 5 different routes, with one made entirely of day trips from Yerevan.

Our 5 routes include Armenia’s most iconic landmarks, our favorite hidden gems, scenic roads, local restaurants, and easy hikes, without making every day feel overpacked.

Most travel blogs mention the same stops.

Tour agencies often push expensive, overpacked group tours.

Generic itineraries leave out the places that actually make Armenia memorable.

This guide was created to take the guesswork out of your first trip, while still giving you the freedom to explore independently.

With 5 different routes, you can choose the one that works best for the type of trip you’re dreaming of.
