A weekend in Armenia with a guide: how to put two days together

The easiest weekend is two day trips from Yerevan: north or Lake Sevan on Saturday, the south on Sunday. The other way is to spend the night in Dilijan or Tsaghkadzor and take a tour from there. Multi-day tours exist too, but they cost a lot more.

Staying the night: Dilijan or Tsaghkadzor

From Tsaghkadzor

Sailing on Lake Sevan with Sevanavank: 170 € for up to 3 people, 5.5 hours. Bjni and hot springs: 200 € for up to 3, 5.5 hours. Where to stay: Tsaghkadzor hotels.

Multi-day tours

Tripster showed 86 multi-day tours in Armenia. The one in our sample is 5 days through Gyumri, Dilijan, Sevan and Yerevan for 1100 € per group of up to 6, rated 4.89 from 75 reviews. That is a holiday rather than a weekend, so for two days two day trips make more sense.

A weekend away is also a good test of where you would like to live: forest Dilijan, the lake, or Yerevan with trips out at weekends. If it is Yerevan, send us a request and we will shortlist apartments.
