This new, thoroughly updated sixth edition of Bradt's Armenia
remains the only standalone, English-language guide to this
mountainous post-Soviet republic at the crossroads of Europe, Asia
and the Middle East. Packed with detailed background information
and invaluable practical advice, Bradt's Armenia remains the
essential choice for anyone travelling to this beautiful country,
which is now easily and cheaply accessed by air. Following recent
political changes, the story of this new republic is rapidly being
rewritten, with transformations extending far beyond the vibrant
capital of Yerevan. Road infrastructure has greatly improved, while
rural tourism is coming to life in even far-flung provinces,
thereby catering for visitors exploring well off the beaten path.
New elements in this edition include: expanded treatment of new
budget accommodation in Yerevan and provincial capitals; enhanced
information on Yerevan designed to inspire the city-break visitor,
encompassing arts, culture and nightlife; a wealth of new
information for adventurous travellers, including about more than
300km of new hiking trails established since 2018; and an enhanced
language section designed to facilitate communication with
Armenians. Bradt's Armenia provides the information needed for a
successful trip, covering all the most popular sights as well as
those off-the-beaten track, including Dilijan National Park and the
stunning forested mountains of Tavush, a region undergoing a
renaissance as a place to reconnect with nature; Areni village, one
of the birthplaces of wine; and Vayots Dzor, the 'valley of woes',
whose side valleys are abundant with wildlife-spotting
opportunities. Tatev village and the Vorotan Canyon are included,
as are the Orbelian's Ccaravanserai and other remnants of the
ancient Silk Road trading route network that once criss-crossed the
Caucasus region. Rich in both history and spectacular scenery,
Armenia is a truly captivating country. Whether seeking out ancient
monasteries dotted within dramatic landscapes, wandering through
one of Yerevan's impressive museums or admiring the intricate stone
carvings at Noratus, you'll find opportunities to delve into this
nation's past at every turn. Add to this the welcoming local
people, superb hiking possibilities and abundant bird life, and
you'll soon discover why Armenia is worth more than just a fleeting
visit.
