Why We Love Armenia – Armenia isn’t at the top of most travelers’ list, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be. Being the birthplace of Christianity as an organized religion means you’ll find ancient monasteries and churches dotting the rugged landscape of Armenia. But fear not if you’re not the religious type: Armenia also lays partial claim (sharing it with Georgia) to being the birthplace of wine. It won’t be hard to find some quality vino, and you’ll need it to wash down all the incredibly delicious Armenian cuisine. We’re getting hungry just thinking about it. Ok, who is ready to explore Armenia?

Armenia Travel Advice
🗓️ Best Time to Visit
Armenia experiences cold winters and hot, dry summers. Therefore, the best time to visit would be during the spring (May to June) and autumn (September to October) seasons when temperatures are much more comfortable for traveling around the country.
⚠️ Safety
Armenia is generally a very safe place to visit, despite the conflict with Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh border as well as poor relations with Turkey. Due to these, do take note that the border between Armenia and these two countries are closed. As a reminder, always practice caution and common sense to avoid petty crimes. Additionally, do make sure to check the latest US State Department travel advisories for your destination.

💵 Budgeting & Money
In larger Nigerian cities and towns (especially in tourist areas), debit/credit cards are generally accepted.

Alternatively, a number of travelers prefer to use a prepaid card (with limited cash loaded on at any one time) instead to avoid any possible fraudulent incidents.
