CULTURE PHOTO TRIP ARMENIA
Armenia is a treasure trove for culture lovers who love to photograph. Join us!
Photogenic and unknown: Armenia is the place to be
Do you like to photograph beautiful buildings, churches, monuments you come across on your travels, but there is usually little time to photograph them properly?
Hanzebeeld is organising the culture photo trip to Armenia in 2024. You will get all the time you need to photograph fantastic places and you will get all the information you need about what you see. This makes this photo trip a combination of enjoyment, photography and getting to know a unique and mystical country.
Join us! We go with a small group of enthusiasts and with good, experienced guidance.
The group
We only travel with small groups of minimum 3 and maximum 10 participants. This way there is plenty of time, we are flexible and can share better and more with each other. Each trip is preceded by a participant meeting.
For who?
The physical effort required will be limited. This trip is therefore suitable for young to old. What is important is that you love photography and culture and want to look a bit further than the known paths.
When?
Are you interested and are you three people? Then we can look for a suitable date together. When a date is known and others can join as well, we will announce it here. Interested? Mail now to info@hanzebeeld.nl
What are we going to do?
Armenia is a former Soviet country where much of the Soviets can still be found. But above all, it is the oldest Christian country. As early as 301, the country became a Christian state. Several churches from the fourth century can still be found there. We will definitely visit those. Hanzebeeld, together with Centraltour set up a well-organised programme where we visit the most beautiful and photogenic places. The trip is fully taken care of. From accommodation to meals to transport. An important element in the trip is that we really take our time to take the most unique photos at the different locations.
Only culture?
Culture is the most important part of this trip, but the country has so much beauty that we have made a good mix of it. Under discussion are nature reserves and urbex sites.
What does the day look like?
After waking up in our comfortable accommodation, we have breakfast and leave for the first location. We will visit different locations each day and take time for a delicious lunch. In the evening, we will be back at a different residence and review each other's best photos.
What do you bring?
Your camera (one spare camera will go with you) with extra batteries + charger, a tripod, sturdy shoes and everything else you would normally take with you.

Armenian guide
Hanzebeeld works together with Centraltour, the company of Nvard Melkonyan. She will be with our company throughout the trip, as will Hanseatic sculpture owner Wim Robbertsen. There will be plenty of personal guidance, if required. Nvard speaks good English, Russian and Farsi.
Experienced guide
Nvard is an amply experienced guide throughout Armenia. She is a walking encyclopaedia and knows a lot of background to what you see. From history to culture to geography and politics. She has extensive experience in guiding groups of up to 25 people.
Huge network
Sometimes it seems like Nvard knows everyone in Armenia. The fact is that she can always re-establish a line if needed.
