May-June and September-October offer best weather. Summer is hot. Winter can be cold but beautiful for skiing. Lake Sevan is best June-September.
Cultural Notes
Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity (301 AD). Churches and monasteries are central to culture. The 1915 genocide is a defining historical trauma; approach with sensitivity. Hospitality is deeply valued. Armenian coffee is strong and served with grounds.
Insider Tips
Armenian cognac (brandy) is world-famous; visit Ararat Factory. Marshrutkas connect towns. Many ancient monasteries require car access. The genocide memorial is an important, somber visit. Russia influence is visible but Armenia is distinct.
