Detailed itinerary

1

Haghpat Monastery is one of Armenia’s most remarkable spiritual and architectural landmarks. Nestled high in the green hills of northern Armenia, this UNESCO World Heritage Site dates back to the 10th century and offers a powerful glimpse into the region’s medieval Christian heritage.

As we explore the monastery complex, you'll see ancient stone churches, beautifully carved khachkars (cross-stones), and stunning arches that have stood for over a thousand years. The setting is peaceful and scenic, with wide views of the Debed Canyon below—perfect for quiet reflection and memorable photographs.

You’ll also learn about Armenia’s rich religious and cultural history, as Haghpat was once a major center of learning and manuscript writing. It’s a moving and awe-inspiring place, where history, faith, and nature come together in harmony.

2

We will have lunch near Lake Sevan where you will also be able to taste Lake Sevan products. (There are two lunch breaks during the tour, approximately 12:00 and 19:00)

3

Lake Sevan is one of the largest high-altitude freshwater lakes in the world and a true natural gem of Armenia. In the warmer months, the lake shimmers under the sun with deep blue water surrounded by green hills and open skies. It’s the perfect place to relax, take in beautiful views, and breathe fresh mountain air.

4

We'll visit the famous Sevanavank Monastery, located on a hilltop peninsula that offers panoramic views of the lake. The monastery, built in the 9th century, is rich in history and gives you a chance to connect with Armenia’s deep cultural roots.

5

The Yerevan Cascade is one of the most unique and beloved landmarks in Armenia’s capital. This massive limestone staircase connects the downtown area with the upper part of the city, blending art, architecture, and sweeping views into one unforgettable experience.

As we climb (or take the escalators inside), you'll pass through open-air terraces decorated with modern sculptures, fountains, and flower beds. At the top, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of Yerevan—and on clear days, the snow-capped peak of Mount Ararat rises in the background.

Inside the Cascade is the Cafesjian Center for the Arts, home to rotating exhibits of contemporary art, glasswork, and design. Even a short visit offers plenty to see and enjoy.

Whether you're here for the views, the art, or just a relaxing stroll, the Cascade offers a perfect mix of culture, beauty, and city life.

Stop 6

Republic Square is the cultural and political center of Yerevan and one of the most impressive public spaces in the region. Surrounded by grand Soviet-era buildings made of pink tuff stone, the square is a striking example of Armenian architecture and urban design.

As we explore the area, you’ll see key landmarks such as the History Museum of Armenia, the National Gallery, and the Government House. The square comes alive with locals and travelers alike—especially in the evening when the dancing fountains light up with music and color, creating a magical atmosphere.

This is the perfect place to feel the pulse of the city, take great photos, and learn about Armenia’s modern identity as well as its rich past. Whether day or night, Republic Square is a must-see and a memorable stop on any visit to Yerevan.

7

Standing tall over Yerevan, the Mother Armenia Monument is one of the most iconic landmarks in the country. This massive statue represents a strong and protective female figure, symbolizing peace through strength and the resilience of the Armenian people.

From the monument’s platform, you'll enjoy panoramic views of Yerevan and, on clear days, the majestic Mount Ararat in the distance. It’s a perfect photo stop and a chance to see the city from a unique perspective.

The statue also forms part of Victory Park, a popular local spot with walking paths, fountains, and a military museum inside the pedestal. While our stop will focus on the views and monument itself, you’ll get a sense of Armenia’s pride, history, and spirit all in one place.
