Yerevan City Tour

The tour starts at Armenia's capital, which has recently celebrated its 2800th anniversary. The journey will begin in Republic Square, the city's geographic core. After that, we'll go to the station plaza, where one of Yerevan's emblems, the monument to David Sasunsky, is located. He was the hero of the medieval Armenian epic. After that, we'll go up to Victory Park, which gives a stunning panoramic view of the city and biblical Ararat, passing via the Ring Boulevard. The tour will then continue along with the Yerevan Cascade, an open-air museum, and then along the avenue named after Mesrop Mashtots, the creator of the Armenian Alphabet. There we will see the Yerevan Municipality, the Sports and Concert Complex on Tsitsernakaberd Hill, and the Theater Square. We will continue our way to Theater Square.

The Lusik Aguletsi House-Museum

The Lusik Aguletsi House-Museum is located in one of the suburbs of Yerevan, but it is not far to get there (15 minutes by car from the city center). Traditional elements of the interior and decor can be found throughout the house. Aguletsis' personal belongings are displayed in various rooms of the house, including belts, necklaces, other jewelry, clothes, bags, carpets, hats, and so on.

Megerian Carpet Factory-Museum

Perhaps not everyone knows that the English word carpet is completely borrowed from the Armenian language. The history of Armenian carpet-making goes far back to antiquity, and the style was developed in the Middle Ages - in the "golden era" of Armenian carpet weaving. The Megerian family of Americans revived traditions and old technologies that almost died in Soviet times, in the era of a factory-soulless approach. Now the company's craftsmen produce exclusively handmade carpets and use only natural materials and components. The Megerian Carpet company organizes tours and excursions for those who want to see what happens when masterpieces are lovingly created in the XXI century according to the centuries-old traditions of their ancestors. Nothing really goes out of fashion and does not lose value, on the contrary, gaining it.
