Travel tips for Armenia

  • 1

    Bargain at local markets like Vernissage in Yerevan—prices are often inflated for tourists, but a little negotiation goes a long way.

  • 2

    Visit a local *satsiv* (walnut dip) or *tolma* (stuffed grape leaves) cooking class to experience authentic Armenian cuisine firsthand.

  • 3

    Rent a car to explore remote monasteries like Tatev or the stunning Dilijan National Park, as public transport can be unreliable.
