Trips to Armenia

Armenia is a small country with a population of just three million, but at the same time a country with a great cultural and religious heritage. There are only a few countries in the world that can be proud of such an old and glorious history and this is partly due to the fact that Armenia was the first country to make Christianity the state religion as early as the beginning of the 4th century.

Travel to Armenia and you will find yourself in a scenic and mountainous country located on the border between Europe and Asia. We offer different culture and round trips to the beautiful Caucasus region (Georgia and Azerbaijan).

Find your trip to Armenia below and take part in an exciting journey to a friendly and welcoming country, which is often overlooked by tourists.

Fantastic trip with Penguin Travel! Loved all the sights we got to see in Saudi Arabia. Abdulaziz and Lyuben were very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend for solo and group travelers, especially those wanting an "off the beaten path" experience. Can't wait to travel with Penguin again!
