Armenia recommended for Christmas getaway by Express

YEREVAN, December 17. /ARKA/. The British publication Express named Armenia a great destination for travelers from the UK, particularly during the Christmas season.

The article states, “This country is gaining popularity. It is not visited by many tourists, so now is the best time to visit. Armenia is known for its rich history, culture, and natural beauty. It was named one of the top 10 places to visit in the world in 2025 by Lonely Planet”.

This landlocked country is situated in the southern Caucasus Mountains (the southeastern region of Europe and Western Asia) and borders Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Turkey. Armenia offers a variety of impressive sights, from historical monuments to stunning architecture and well-kept gardens, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a glass of exquisite wine at one of its remarkable vineyards.

Among the most popular places to visit is the rock-cut Geghard Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the publication notes.
