Armenia is an ancient country. The capital city, Yerevan, dates back to 78BC, making it 29 years older than Rome! Today, however, Yerevan is a thriving, modern city. Now that Armenia is on the cusp of settling its border dispute with Azerbaijan and is working toward more normal relationships with Turkey, the country is becoming more attractive to tourists.
In fact, according to The Independent, the number of tourists visiting Armenia from January to September of this year rose 5 percent to 422,500 visitors. There’s a lot that makes Armenia worth visiting. The capital city, Yerevan, is a charming city filled with fountains, restaurants and lively cafes.
There are also lovely mountain towns like Goris, located near the border with Iran. In the southern part of the country, Vayots Dzor houses some interesting old monasteries and fortresses.
Lake Sevan, Armenia’s summer playground, is another excellent destination, especially in the summer, when activities such as water-skiing, swimming boating and jet skiing are available.
To visit Armenia, you are required to have both your passport and an Armenian visa. Here’s what you need to get a tourist visa to visit Armenia:
- Your US passport
- 1 Armenian visa application form
- 1 passport photo
- If your visit will be less than 120 days, that’s all you need. However, if you’ll be staying more than 120 days, you need an invitation letter from your host.
