A week in Yerevan, Armenia

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.
