If you want to see the real beauty of Armenia, come here in October – that’s my advice to all my friends. That’s my advice to you. The nature around is beautiful (that is to say – if you have the heart to try hard and find some nature) and you might want to give a try to a car-ride around the Lori region: drive the road from Vanadzor to Alaverdi, and to crown it all - go see the Hakhpat Monastery.

If you’re lazy, or don’t have the 6-7 hours to spend on it (let’s call it a day), you can just stroll around the many parks in Yerevan. And if you’re really lazy – the relaxed cafe-in-the-greens atmosphere might be just for you, for although everybody complains about these cafes that have brutally annexed all the green areas in Yerevan, they can turn out to be quite pleasant at times.
