Yerevan, Armenia's captivating capital, vibrates with a unique energy. Ancient whispers mingle with modern vibrancy, promising a delightful surprise at every turn. To capture this captivating tapestry, we embark on a journey exploring Yerevan's must-see sights!

Our exploration begins at the foot of the colossal Sasuntsi Davit Statue, a powerful homage to the Armenian epic hero. This awe-inspiring monument serves as a poignant introduction to the city's rich cultural heritage.

From there, we delve into the bustling Yerevan Railway Station, a transportation hub pulsating with the rhythm of journeys. However, a minor detour awaits - local regulations politely request us to delete footage of the metro station's interior.

Unfazed, we resurface at the Republic Square Metro Station, a gateway to the magnificent Republic Square itself. This sprawling central plaza, adorned with grand architecture and cascading fountains, embodies the very essence of Yerevan. A must-visit, Republic Square pulsates with life, offering a stage for street performers, artists, and locals basking in the warmth of the Armenian sun.

Next, we embark on a spiritual journey to the Saint Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral, Armenia's largest and a testament to the country's deep Christian roots. The intricate details and serene atmosphere within the cathedral walls inspire a sense of awe and reverence.

Leaving the cathedral's calming embrace, we find ourselves immersed in the vibrant chaos of the Vernissage Market. This sprawling open-air market is a treasure trove of Armenian handicrafts, souvenirs, and local produce.

From intricately woven rugs and hand-painted ceramics to glistening pomegranates and sweet pastries, the Vernissage offers a sensory experience that is both stimulating and delightful.

As the day unfolds, we pay our respects at Charles Aznavour Square, dedicated to the legendary Armenian-French singer. Here, amidst the city's energetic hum, we take a moment to appreciate the enduring legacy of this cultural icon.

To add a touch of local flavor, we indulge in a delightful strawberry donut (ponchik) – a local favorite – at the Grand Candy Cafe.

Finally, our exploration culminates at the Matenadaran, an ancient repository of manuscripts that holds immense historical and cultural significance. Rows upon rows of meticulously preserved manuscripts whisper tales of Armenia's rich past, safeguarding centuries of knowledge and wisdom within their fragile pages.

This journey through Yerevan unveils a city where history and culture intertwine with the simple pleasures of a delicious treat.

    Metros/subways generally are considered to be a potentially a safety threat, as well as they can shelter the people during the air raids not only in Armenia but also in other countries as well. And they are considered to be part of the country’s major infrastructure.  That’s why they don’t allow filming in the subways. Particularly so in Armenia, considering the fact, that the country is surrounded by hostile neighbors.
  • I just checked your channel like and subscribe,love it , beautiful quality film , welcome to Armenia 🇦🇲,
  • Hello, good morning. Welcome back out of retirement. Nice vlog. Is that you flying that drone, or is it stock footage?
  • @AB-te1ci
    ℹ👉 Dear, it is forbidden to film strategic structures in Armenia, because our region is under the threat of war.

    The typical Armenian men’s insignia is the cigarette pack with cigarette lighter holding in their hands, as if that’s their suckling babe’s nursing pacifier. Not to mention the localized polo shirt that once before was in style during mid 70s. The setback tradition carries on and on. That’s the beauty about our setback culture. The sun never sets on our bad habits. As the practice develops into habit, habit develops into character, subsequently the character develops into genetics.
  • a person who knows the history of armenia correctly can understand that some of its traditions belong to someone else.They should also understand that some stolen things should be returned to their place.This is a very bad thing.
