For UK travellers, Armenia offers a mix of culture, history and adventure. Visitors can explore Yerevan, one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, discover UNESCO-listed heritage sites and ancient monasteries set against mountain landscapes, and experience a winemaking tradition that spans more than 6,100 years, including the world’s oldest known winery.

Tourism Links Between The UK And Armenia
The launch of the direct Wizz Air route is expected to strengthen tourism, business and cultural ties between Armenia and the United Kingdom, while making the country more accessible for British travellers seeking destinations beyond Europe’s more established tourism routes.
“Direct flights from London make Armenia easier than ever to discover,” said Lusine Gevorgyan, Chairperson of the Tourism Committee of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Armenia. “Whether visitors are looking for culture, gastronomy, adventure, history, or simply a new destination to explore, Armenia offers an extraordinary experience that remains refreshingly authentic.”
With direct flights now operating between London and Yerevan twice a week on Mondays and Fridays, Armenia is closer to British travellers looking for a year-round destination for city breaks, cultural tourism and adventure travel.
