Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice.

We have placed this link here because Armenia is on the 'Don't go to parts of' list at the time of writing. We constantly monitor the FCO travel advice site and our advice is to check their advice yourself using the link above.

If you click on their Travel Advice by Country left hand link you'll see that the 'don't go to' list of countries is broken into four sections:
1. Where the FCO advise against all travel to the country
2. Where the FCO advise against all travel to parts of a country
3. Where the FCO advise against all but essential travel to a country
4. Where the FCO advise against all but essential travel to parts of a country.

So, the current advice relates only to parts of Armenia. You can check to see which particular regions of Armenia the FCO is advising against travel and holidays to, by clicking on their Armenia link on the Travel Advice by Country page.

One of the cradles of civilisation, mountainous Armenia offers visitors some extraordinary natural and cultural treasures in a small parcel of territory. The 1990s saw a profound economic slump in this ex-Soviet state, but recent boomtimes have vastly improved tourist services.
