Best Time to Visit Armenia
If you’re planning to visit Armenia, the best time to head to this country would be the beginning and ending months of summer – late May and early June or else late September and early October. This is the time when the heat is comparatively less and the weather is comfortable and idle for exploration.
If you are not a winter person and don’t enjoy visiting a new place in colder temperatures, avoid the winter months. As mentioned April and May might not be a good fit either due to a large number of rainy days. As far as warmer months go, July gets quite busy with tourists, so be sure to plan accordingly.
