Armenia is included in the list of top ten traveling destinations for 2018 compiled by Fodor's, the world's largest publisher of travel and tourism information.

In the 2018 Go List of 52 countries, Armenia is ranked the 7th.

“This tiny Caucasus country has an outsize wealth of history, culture, and hospitality,” the publication wrote, calling on tourists to visit Armenia.

“Armenia’s rugged mountains and fertile valleys, full of ancient monasteries and traditional villages, are an eco-tourist’s dream, and new hiking trails and apps are making it easier to explore the country’s great outdoors… Though it’s nearly 3,000 years old, capital Yerevan has a youthful energy, with new cafes, wine bars, boutiques, and restaurants opening by the day," Fodor's wrote. 

According to the source, spring and fall are best for outdoor exploration and regional festivals, such as the autumn wine harvest in Vayots Dzor. "Yerevan’s 2,800-year-anniversary celebrations in October 2018 are sure to be exuberant," the publication added.
