Waste of time
In my itinerary, Dilijan was described as "Armenian Switzerland" . . . give me a break ! Somehow, I was meant to walk this Alpine Wonderland for an hour, but I had enough after 20 boring minutes. No, thank you, Armenia has so much more and better to offer.

Not much to see or do around here
This street is so small, when you walk to fast you miss it. Not much to see but that goes for most of Dilidzjan. Don't bother to visit unless you are in Dilidzjan

Pretty street
This street is flanked by traditional buildings that were erected to preserve the old character of this small town. A quick walk will do the trick.

A trip back into 19th century's Armenia ...
At the very heart of Dilijan, you will find "Sharambeyan Street" - a real trip back into 19th century's Armenia. Well preserved and maintained traditional old houses, built with stones and wood, bring magic to Dilijan - a city surrounded by a National Park and locally known as "Little Switzerland". At old "Sharambeyan Street", artists and crafstmen's workshops, galleries, souvenir shops, cafés, hotels and a museum complete the scene. A quick visit and keep going ... There is still much to visit around romantic Dilijan! Enjoy!
