This small but fast developing, landlocked country is one of the oldest in the world, and there is a surprising beauty in its stark rocky countryside, where culture and cultivation stand out in contrast against the stony background. Orchards and vineyards provide unexpected colour, and historic cities and monasteries are perched on scenic mountaintops or in temperate rain forests. In Yerevan, the capital, street life is blossoming, with outdoor cafes sprouting up during warmer months. Armenia has history dating back to three millennia and Yerevan is older than Rome. The first Christian State in the world to have accepted Christianity as the sole religion of the state in 301 A.D. The county has rich historical, cultural and unique linguistic heritage that dates back to the 4th century A.D. Foreign languages are spoken throughout the Republic by the majority of population and all types of tours are catered for.
