Shopping Tour in Dilijan
The best shopping in Dilijan isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Old Dilijan are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Tufenkian Old Dilijan Complex — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
Dilijan sits in a densely forested national park in northeastern Armenia, its wooded hills and fresh mountain air earning it the nickname 'Armenia's Little Switzerland.' The town has a long history as a resort and sanatorium destination. The surrounding forests hide medieval Armenian monasteries, and the restored old town features traditional craftsmen's workshops.
