It’s logical to start your trip around Armenia from Yerevan. The capital of Armenia is one of the oldest cities in the world with a rich history and unique atmosphere. The city, which is 29 years older than Rome, breaks stereotypes: the past here harmoniously combines with the present, and the conservative east neighbors the advanced west. Yerevan doesn't look his age at all - he's very fashionable The concrete jungle of multi-storey residential boxes is diluted with the warmth of the stonework of old buildings; the characteristic shade of tuff has given Yerevan the status of a “pink” city. In Yerevan, no one is in a hurry: street cafe workers leisurely mow the lawns and serve coffee to visitors leisurely leafing through a magazine or flipping through gadgets; in the mornings at the Cascade, instructors practice yoga with those who wish, and in the evenings, choreographers perform folk dances. On the streets you can find works by the best sculptors of the modern world, in museums - mysterious artifacts, in galleries - works of classics of Armenian and world painting, in the flea market - brilliant creations of modern painters, ceramists and jewelers. Evening Yerevan attracts with concerts of classical music, sounds of folk, jam sessions of jazz musicians, music of night clubs, performances of the most unusual musicians, wine bars of Saryan Street, the opportunity to plunge into the atmosphere of the capital’s iconic institutions, see a show of singing fountains, enjoy delicious food in fashionable restaurants and Armenian fast food - don’t be afraid of street food eateries that serve excellent tzhvzhik, kabab and khorovats. And, most importantly, try to get a local friend on social networks in advance, who will reveal to you all the secrets of the ancient, but very modern city.
