WHY ARMENIA?
Located at the foot of the biblical Mount Ararat, Armenia is considered the cradle of civilization; this "open-air museum" where you can find the world's oldest shoe and wine-press, is also home to the world's longest aerial tram. This millennial land boasts 10 climate zones and a diversity of untouched landscapes to enchant even the most avid traveler. 

The capital city of Yerevan is a bustling cosmopolitan center where the cafe culture rules. Its thriving arts and culture scene offers the full range of concerts, festivals and more. From great jazz to world class symphony and ballet; from state-of-the-art technology to ancient archeological sites -- you can enjoy it all here. In Armenia, a whole new world is yours to discover!
