When to go
If you want to visit Yerevan and the areas of Armenia below 1,000 meters (3,300 feet), which in summer can be very hot, the best times are
spring and autumn, especially the month of May and from mid-September to mid-October.
At higher altitudes, such as in Gyumri and Lake Sevan, you can choose instead the
summer, from June to September.
If you want to find a compromise for the whole country, you can choose June and September, or even July and August for those who can stand the heat.
What to pack
In
winter: bring very warm clothes, a fleece, a down jacket, a hat, a scarf, and gloves.
In
summer: in Yerevan, bring light clothes for the day, a sun hat, a sweatshirt and a light jacket for the evening. In Sevan and above 2,000 meters (6,500 feet), bring spring/autumn clothes, a sun hat, a sweater and a warm jacket for the evening, and possibly a raincoat or umbrella.
