Armenia is a lovely little country, beautiful, safe and surprisingly hospitable. In addition, the prices will pleasantly surprise you.
Yerevan
The capital of Armenia is a small cozy city, to get around the center and main attractions on foot, it will be enough to allocate one or two days.
It is easy to find walking tours in the center of Yerevan on the Internet, but it is quite possible to get acquainted with the city on your own. Walk through the streets, relax on the main square near the fountain, be sure to climb the "cascade", the observation deck. There, at the top, there is also the Victory Park. If you are interested in the history of the country, then you can visit the Museum of the Armenian Genocide.

Taxi rides around the city are very cheap, they do not exceed one hundred rubles. The monetary unit of Armenia is dram.
Garni and Gerard
It is better to allocate more time to visit the natural attractions of the country, since it is for the sake of the stunningly beautiful nature that tourists go to Armenia. You can go to Garni and Gerard from Yerevan in one day. You can get there either by taxi or with a guided tour. It is not very convenient to get to these places by public transport.
Walk in the mountains, visit an ancient monastery. If you're lucky, you can hear the chorus.
Lake Sevan

Calm lake surrounded by mountains and complete tranquility. In the middle of summer, you can swim in the lake, although the water is still cool. Here you can rent a hotel and spend a few days away from civilization and noise.
