Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisThis 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., Armenia travel guide. Expert holiday advice including Yerevan, monasteries, UNESCO World Heritage sites, national parks and the Transcaucasian Trail. Also covers hotels, walking, cycling, winter sports, wildlife, petroglyphs and ancient art, Orbelian's Caravanserai, Dilijan, Tavush, Debed Canyon, Noratus, Etchmiadzin, Tatev, Geghard, Vayots Dzor., Taking travel seriously since 1974, Bradt Guides are for people who seek the extraordinary: more comprehensive coverage, less-visited places and a thoughtful approach to travel.
