Armenia on The New York Times 2026 List

On 9 January 2026, The New York Times included Armenia in its list of 52 places to visit in 2026. The country ranked 20th.

The article recommends visiting Lake Sevan, surrounded by mountains, with its thousand-year-old monasteries on the shore, and Dilijan National Park, with alpine meadows, vast forests and healing springs linked by a network of hiking trails. “The park is home to rare and endangered plants, as well as brown bears, wolves and European wildcats,” the article says.
