Haghpat & Sanahin Day Tour

Medieval Monasteries & Armenian Heritage! Explore two of Armenia’s most remarkable UNESCO-listed monasteries and immerse yourself in the history, art, and architecture of the Caucasus.

Duration: Approx. 10 hours

Experience a full-day journey through Armenia’s northern region, discovering the impressive monastic complexes of Haghpat and Sanahin, centers of medieval scholarship, art, and architecture.

🏛 Tour Highlights

Haghpat Monastery
Begin your day at Haghpat Monastery, a masterpiece of 10th–13th century Armenian architecture. Nestled on a hill overlooking the Debed River, the monastery complex is renowned for its unique combination of Byzantine and Armenian architectural styles. Haghpat was a vibrant center of learning: humanitarian sciences, medicine, and theology were studied here, scientific treatises were written, and beautiful miniatures and paintings were created. Its churches, chapels, and library reflect the high level of civil architecture and craftsmanship of medieval Armenia.

Sanahin Monastery
Next, visit Sanahin Monastery, located in the same picturesque region, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in the 10th century, Sanahin was an important center for education and manuscript production. The monastery features elegant khachkars (cross-stones), medieval inscriptions, and intricately carved stone facades. Sanahin is especially famous for its scholarly legacy, having nurtured generations of monks, scientists, and artists who contributed to Armenian intellectual and cultural life.

Return to Yerevan at the end of the day tour, enjoying the scenic landscapes of Lori Province along the way.
