Location: Yerevan, Armenia Republic square of Yerevan is charming both at night and daytime. At night it is lit up with beautiful lights. Dancing fountains add another vibe to the square. Summertime it is crowded with lots of people. We went there on Wednesday and no matter it was a weekday but still there were so many people at the square. Daytime you can enjoy the beautiful ornaments on the buildings which are build in pink and yellow tuff. #armenia

Yerevan looks like Barcelona on Christmas days and I’m here for it✨🥰 My personal recommendation is to walk down the Republic square and see the decorated trees and the little Christmas houses. There you also can find some snacks and Armenian traditional kebab. On holidays, there are a lot of people, however on weekdays there’s a little bit more space to walk.

Armenia is a landlocked country located in the South Caucasus, at the crossroads of Asia and Europe. Although small in size, this country is rich in history and culture. Armenia is the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as its state religion, and ancient churches can be found throughout the country. These churches are not only religious sanctuaries but also treasures of Armenian architecture.

Armenia is also a country that exempts us from visas. The overall atmosphere here is good and it is relatively friendly to the Chinese. But prices are not cheap, so prepare yourself mentally before going. 🚉Transportation guide: There is no direct flight. It is recommended to fly to Tbilisi, Georgia, and then transfer to Armenia by bus or train. 🗓Itinerary: Day1: Yerevan Republic Square-Yerevan Stairs-Khor Virap Day2: Lake Sevan 📝Note tips: English is not easy to use here. It is recommended to download translation software first. You can buy phone cards in the city. It is more expensive to buy them at the airport. It is best to go to the city for currency exchange. If you go to the airport, you can use Visa card to withdraw cash. In the city, you can withdraw cash with ACBA Bank UnionPay card without any handling fee.

I can't tell everything about it. I suggest you go there yourself. This is also the best thing we can experience in life. Walk some places, see some things, understand or reflect. ✈️Entry: Armenia is visa-free. There is a 24-hour bus line 201/100 from Yerevan Airport to the city. The fare is 300AMD. It is specifically recommended to download the Yandex map to check local bus information. 💰Redeem: The cost of living in Yerevan is not low, and credit cards are widely used. Except for public transportation, you can basically pay by card. You don’t need to change cash much. The exchange rate at the airport is not much different from that in the city. 🥢Catering: I particularly recommend Art Lunch, which is a semi-buffet style similar to IKEA. The food is plentiful and delicious, the bread is cheap and delicious, and the mashed potatoes are great. I have been there many times without any surprises. 🚩Armenian Market is similar to a farmer’s market. 🚩The ubiquitous street coffee shops offer mediocre drinks, but the clerk will write your name in Russian and Armenian on the cup. 🛌Accommodation: You can go anywhere around the Republic Square. ArevaHostel&Apartment is very cost-effective. It may be off-season. Most of the time I am alone in the four-person female room. ✏The city of Yerevan is very small and you can visit the main attractions on foot. Just remember a few names, Grand Staircase/Cathedral/Opera House/History Museum/Republic Square/North Street/Weekend Market/Armenian Genocide Museum 📍Khor Virap Monastery The mist has obscured the mountain peaks, and the grapevines have turned yellow. The holy mountain of Ararat, the world's first Christian country, is now the territory of Turkey. Climb down the 8-meter-deep dungeon where Gregory was imprisoned, and gaze at the last steps of the legendary Noah's Ark. Anchorage, listening to the Sunday worship service, there are many stories here that deserve to be known to more people in the world, regardless of faith or denomination. *On the way out, there is the Intertown Bus Station right out of the Sasuntsi David subway station. The 467 bus first leaves at 9 o'clock. The journey takes 40 minutes. You can get off the bus and walk for 20 minutes to arrive. On the way, you can take a long-distance photo of the monastery and Mount Ararat in the same frame. *For the return journey, there are many rentals at the door. 1000AMD is sent to PokrVedi at the main intersection. There are many buses passing by to return to Yerevan, such as 454/460/480/483/453/459/467/468 The monastery is a typical Armenian building. I like this kind of rock building very much. There are many stone houses in the city of Yerevan, pink, orange and light yellow. It seems that the texture of the stone can be clearly recognized in the sunlight. I received a tulip on the night I arrived, and I immediately fell in love with it. I thought it would be even more beautiful in the summer. Although the winter here is not cold, the autumn breeze is crisp and the sun is like spring.

#artshunting We visited Yerevan for 2 nights. Wandering around the Public Square to admire the sculptures in the LOVE garden in front of the Cascade Complex would refresh your days. It was a little bit exhausting to climb up 572 steps to getting up the top however it was worth to do so. You can see the whole town from up there and all the beautiful sculptures in the garden. The city of Yerevan was so wonderful and worth to spend a day or two there.

The well-known and stunning republic square is located in the heart of Yerevan. The square was created in 1924 to represent a fusion of national styles. Its shape is similar to an oval and a trapeze. If you need to travel to the square, don't worry; there are buses, minibuses and metro stations available to carry tourists and locals. The history museum and the art gallery are two of the five iconic buildings in Republic Square. The most loved, interesting perspective of the lovely fountains may be seen at the museum. They are accustomed to making music exquisite through their unmistakable color change in accordance with the rhythm .They are constantly accessible from late May to October, so don't miss out on this incredible view. Get to Republic Square for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure IG: edgarmesropyan #passionpassport #yerevan #armenia #armenianstreet #armenianwine #republicsquare #square

The flea market, a few hundred meters away from the Republic Square, is full of people on the weekend, selling a lot of interesting things, including girls favorite earring necklaces, local specialties, and even Soviet antiques during the war. Georgia is even cheaper.
