General Tips: Dilijan
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Favorite Thing: Dilijan is a city in the north of Armenia, in the Tavush regioně. It is somwetimes called the "Little Switzerland" of Armenia, mainly because it is surrounded by pine-covered mountains.

    Being Swiss I can tell you that the similarities end here: it surely looks like the town has known better days (it has) - and now it's holiday spot for those Yerevan rsidents that cannot afford to go elsewhere.

    Fondest Memory: While Dilijan is a very authentic place, one needs to add that it is partly also run down. However all around town there are some great examples of traditional architecture that are worth seeing.

    It is also a good base from which to explore the beautiful monasteries of Haghartsin and Goshavank.

     I paid 5500 drams for my taxi to Hagartsin and Goshavank. Dilijan is a pleasant place to stay in!
