Erevan - Yerevan

Erevan (Armenac: Երեւան) glavni je grad Republike Hrvatske Armenija, jedno od tri čvorišta Južni Kavkaz i dom je za preko milijun ljudi - najveća armenska zajednica na svijetu. U sovjetskim godinama Jerevan je podvrgnut masovnoj obnovi, slijedeći plan arhitekta Aleksandra Tamanyana da napravi "savršeni grad" - neoklasični grad sa širokim avenijama, nalik Pariz, Beč i Sankt Peterburg.

Središnji Erevan pravi je dragulj ranog doba sovjetski arhitektura. Također je dom nekim velikim modernim i postmodernim čudima koja su uglavnom rezultat sovjetsko-armenske arhitektonske megalomanije. U sovjetskim danima Jerevan je već postao poznat kao Ružičasti grad koliko zbog boje sedrenog kamena koji se koristi za izgradnju, toliko i zbog raskošnog duha njezinog mladog stanovništva.

Okruzi

Većina turističkog Erevana koncentrirana je u središtu grada, koji je vrlo kompaktan i lako prohodan, s nepreglednim mogućnostima blagovanja i zabave. Ostatak grada uglavnom spava ili poslovno, tako da tipični turist neće imati puno motiva za napuštanje centra.

• Kentron, Centar grada, Središte grada ili Downtown - je središnji Erevan, lokalno poznat kao Kentron ili samo Kaghak (što znači "grad"). Ovo je srce Erevana i doista Armenije. Iako je Kentronova arhitektura raznolika, u rasponu od Belle Epoque do sovjetskih blokova, velika većina centra je u tradiciji lijepih umjetnosti. Središte grada slijedi Tamanyanov plan za kružni grad s dva središta - velikim Trgom Republike i elegantnijom i nježnijom operom (Opera, Trg slobode i Park Swan Lake). Njih su dvije povezane s novoizgrađenom sjevernom avenijom samo za pješake. U Kentronu se nalazi i Sveučilišni grad, gdje se kampusi Državnog sveučilišta, Medicinskog sveučilišta, Tehničkog sveučilišta, Poljoprivrednog sveučilišta, Ekonomskog sveučilišta, Pedagoškog i nekih drugih sveučilišta okupljaju u jednoj velikoj grupi. Gotovo svi muzeji, hoteli i popularna mjesta za jelo i piće nalaze se u Kentronu, pa se većina posjetitelja vjerojatno neće usuditi puno prijeći kraj njega.
• Barekamutyun - Što znači prijateljstvo, Barekamutyun je područje oko istoimene stanice metroa. U ovom se čvorištu nalazi Hayastan Hanrakhanut (robna kuća) koja je više zatvoreni bazar nego stvarna robna kuća. Središte se grana do ulice Kievyan i obližnjih ulica Komitas.
• Spomenik - Na vrhu kaskadnih stepenica nalazi se visoki spomenik sovjetskoj pobjedi u Drugom svjetskom ratu. Neposredno uz muzej Cafesjian nalazi se velika zbirka suvremene umjetnosti, uključujući možda i najbolju umjetničku kolekciju na svijetu. Iza spomenika nalazi se Park pobjede, a susjedstvo oko njega poznato je i kao spomenik.
• Erebuni - U ovom okrugu nalaze se ruševine tvrđave Erebuni, koju je 782. pr. Kr. Osnovao kralj Argishti.
• Bangladeš - Da se ne miješa sa državom u Aziji! Turistu nije mnogo za ponuditi, ali to je ime vrijedno objašnjenja. U to je vrijeme ovo bila jedna od najdaljih novih četvrti izgrađenih u Erevanu, a zbog udaljenosti mještani su je brzo počeli nazivati ​​Bangladeš, koji se zadržao do danas. U ovom okrugu nalazi se najveći bazar na otvorenom u Erevanu.
• Niti Nork kvart posljednji je sovjetski projekt proširenja stanova Erevana. Sastoji se u potpunosti od standardiziranih sovjetskih blokova. Međutim, svaki turist prelazi ovu četvrt na putu do 'obaveznog' hrama Garni i samostana Geghard (jer je autocesta u tom smjeru povezana s glavnom avenijom ovog okruga). Glavna atrakcija ovog okruga bio bi kip Gay (ili Hayk) Nahapet, legendarnog utemeljitelja nacije; prikazan je kao mišićav polugoli muškarac s izvučenom mašnom, ali ime nema nikakve veze s homoseksualnošću (da bi se izbjegao ovaj zanimljiv nesporazum, ime avenije i kipa najčešće je romanizirano kao Guy).

Shvati

Iako povijest Erevana seže do tvrđave Erebuni, stare najmanje 2800 godina, malo je preostalo od malog naselja koje je spasilo iskapanja u klancu rijeke Hrazdan, Erebuniju, Karmiru Berdu i Avanu. Ta su nalazišta iskopana, a pronađeni artefakti danas se nalaze u muzejima. Biti na strateški važnom mjestu Erevan je bio neprestana ratna pozornica za suparničko Osmansko, Perzijsko i Rusko carstvo. Više su ga puta uništavali ti ratovi ili prirodne katastrofe (npr. Potres u 17. stoljeću gotovo je u potpunosti uništio grad). Malo je zgrada starog Erivana preživjelo do današnjeg Erevana.

U vrijeme neovisnosti Armenije 1918. godine, kada je Erevan postao glavnim gradom neovisne Armenije, Erevan je bio grad od samo 20 000 stanovnika. Počela je gradnja velikih razmjera, koja je zauzela cjelovitiji pristup prema novom planu grada koji je iznio Aleksandar Tamanyan. Plan je uključivao rušenje većine onoga što je postojalo, u korist koncentričnih krugova, parkova i viših građevina. Planirao je da Erevan postane metropola od 200 000 ljudi.

narod

Erevan je vrlo etnički homogen grad, iako postoje malene jezidske i molokanske (ruske) manjine. Budući da je stanovništvo grada bilo prije samo 20 000 stoljeća, velika većina Armenaca sami su doseljenici iz cijelog svijeta. Iz sela i gradova Armenije, iz Tbilisija, koji je prije 1918. bio središte istočnoarmenske kulture, iz Zapadne Armenije kad su se slijevali preživjeli genocidi, pa čak i s Bliskog istoka i Europe u velikom valu imigracije nakon Drugog svjetskog rata . Od neovisnosti grad je postao srce cijelog armenskog svijeta, budući da su podjele komunističkih vlada dopustile dijaspori - većoj po broju nego samo stanovništvo Armenije, da prihvati grad kao svoj vlastiti.

Religija

Mnogi će posjetitelji biti iznenađeni kada saznaju da Armenija nije samo izdanak kršćanstva u Kavkaz, ali to je prva država na svijetu koja je usvojila kršćanstvo kao državnu religiju. Kralj je kršćanstvo proglasio državnom religijom 301. godine. Otada se kršćanstvo u Armeniji neprekidno prakticira u vlastitim tradicijama.

The Armenska apostolska crkva, ili samo Apostolska crkva, je Nacionalna crkva Armenije. Vrlo je tradicionalno; u praksi (ali ne i povijesti) sličan je pravoslavnim i katoličkim pokretima, te reformiranim crkvama, na pr. engleska crkva. Istodobno, Armenska apostolska crkva ima neke zapanjujuće različite prakse, poput dopuštanja žrtvovanja životinja ili proslave Božića 6. siječnja zajedno s Teofanijom.

Velika većina Armenaca identificiraju se kao apostolski kršćani i imaju svoje Katolikos (vjerski vođa, poput pape za katolike). Danas velika većina Armenaca ne posjećuje crkvu svake nedjelje, a posjeti se vrte oko vjenčanja i krštenja ili povremeno navrate da bi zapalili svijeću. Sovjetsko restrukturiranje grada ostavilo je Erevan s vrlo malo crkava: premda je mnogo novih izgrađeno, a stare sanirano od neovisnosti.

The Protestantski (evanđeoski) Armenci malo su brojni i imaju samo jednu crkvu u ulici Nar-Dos.

Anglikanski (biskupski) Kršćani se okupljaju u (armenskoj apostolskoj) crkvi Surb Zoravor za nedjeljnu euharistiju.

Pravoslavni kršćani održavati jednu crkvu u jerevanskom okrugu Kanaker. U kvartu Jerevansko jezero u izgradnji je nova, pravoslavna katedrala Svetog Križa s lukama kupole, vidljiva s autoceste koja dolazi iz zračne luke. Međutim, ovo će imati uglavnom simboličku strukturu jer je pravoslavnih kršćana vrlo malo.

Jezidi (vjerska i etnička manjina u Armeniji) vjerski se rituali, kao i većina te religije, drže u tajnosti, pa autsajderi ne mogu poštivati ​​njihovu praksu. Najveći jezidski hram na svijetu u izgradnji je u selu izvan Jerevana.

Muslimani neprestano rastu u broju od propasti Sovjetski Savez, potaknuto iranskom imigracijom. Na aveniji Mashtots nalazi se jedna džamija.

Mnoge kršćanske sekte također su prisutne u Erevanu, a okupljaju se u školama, sportskim klubovima, koncertnim dvoranama i slično.

Klima

Uz polusušnu klimu, Erevan proživljava duga vruća ljeta i hladne snježne zime, obje s malo oborina. Zima nije dobro vrijeme za posjet Erevanu, zbog zaleđenih pločnika i zadimljenih restorana, bilo koje drugo doba godine vrijedi posjetiti. Proljeće nudi blago, ali ponekad vlažno vrijeme, i puno zelenih brežuljaka i poljskog cvijeća. Ljeto je vrlo vruće, ali duge, kasne noći u kafićima i voće i povrće su nevjerojatni. Jesen je najpopularnija, sa savršenim vremenom i izvrsnom svježom hranom.

Avionom

• 40.14722244.3958331 Međunarodna zračna luka Zvartnots (EVN ^IATA, Զվարթնոց Միջազգային Օդակայան) (14 km zapadno od centra grada), ☏ 374 10 493000. Ovo je glavni ulaz u Armeniju, s izravnim letovima iz Atena, Bejrut, Berlin, Dubai, Istanbul, Kijev, Minsk, Moskva, Pariz, Prag, Katar, Riga, St. Petersburg, Tbilisi, Teheran, Tel Aviv, Beč i Varšava. Nema domaćih letova, jer je zemlja premala.
  Zračna luka je mala, s relativno malo letova, pa je navigacija u njoj jednostavna. Besplatni bežični pristup dostupan je u terminalu polaska. Po dolasku dolazi do razmjene valuta prije kontrole putovnica, zatim još jedna u Dolascima: obje su dobre vrijednosti sa samo 3% razlike između "kupnje" i "prodaje" za glavne valute, isto kao i razmjene u centru. Nekoliko pristojnih kafića, bankomata, poslovnica banaka i pošta dostupno je na 1. i 2. katu zračne luke. U mjestu Arrivals nalaze se turistički informativni pult i informativni štand s dodirnim zaslonom. (ažurirano listopada 2018)

Dolazak / odlazak:

• A mini bus ima redovita putovanja između zračne luke Zvartnots i centra Erevana. Autobusi idu svakih pola sata 07: 00-22: 00 i svaki sat 22: 30-07: 00. Autobusno stajalište zračne luke nalazi se ispred ulaza u terminal. Jedna karta košta 300 drama. Autobus na putu zaustavlja nekoliko mjesta gdje se putnici mogu ukrcati ili iskrcati, npr. France Square, Pak Shuka i Yeritasardakan. Na povratku do zračne luke stajalište u Yeritasardakanu nalazi se nasuprot supermarketa SAS ili na Trgu Republike (u ulici Abovyan). Vidi i službenu FAQ o web mjestu aerodroma.
• A taksi košta 5.000 drama. Službeni pružatelj usluga je "Zračne usluge" (374 98 828200, 374 10 595900, 374 60 430000), a oni imaju recepciju u Dolascima. Postoje i ljudi koji će vas prilikom izlaska s terminala pitati trebate li taksi. Često će ponuditi bolju cijenu (otprilike upola cijene) od službenog taksija, jer su već ostavili putnika i traže bilo kakvu povratnu kartu - premda ćete morati doći malo dalje da biste došli do njihova taksija. Međutim, ako vam na kraju pokušaju naplatiti nešto više od dogovorene cijene, tvrdeći nesporazum ili bilo što drugo, apsolutno odbijte i prijete da ćete nazvati policiju. Prihvatit će dogovorenu cijenu. Također pogledajte upozorenje na # Taksijem.
• gg i Yandex.Taksi (aplikacije za uslugu vožnje) nudi konkurentne i iskrene cijene, od oko 1.400 drama (listopad 2017.).

Vlakom

• 40.15527844.5080562 Željeznički kolodvor Erevan ("Kayaran" ili Երեւանի երկաթուղային կայարանի), Avenija Tigran Mets (Do metroa Sasuntsi David dolazi se podzemnom željeznicom). Ovo je neoklasična zgrada, mala verzija staljinističkih nebodera "vjenčana torta", poput Moskovskog državnog sveučilišta, s crvenom zvijezdom koja je svjetlucala s tornja. Zgrada, trg i kip su impresivni, ali s tako malo vlakova stanica je često sablasno tiha. Stanica uključuje 'Muzej željezničkog prijevoza Armenije'. (ažurirano listopada 2018)

Erevan je središte male Armenije domaće željeznički sustav, s uslugama jednom dnevno za Armavir (1 sat), Ararat (70 minuta) i Gyumri (3 sata, plus brži vlak F-Su). Oni, zajedno s vlakom u Tbilisiju, također služe srednjim stanicama kao što su Echmiadzin i Vanadzor, ali rijetko su dobar način da se tamo stigne. Putnički vlakovi za Sevan prometuju ljeti, ali Dilijan u ovom trenutku nema vlakove. Pogledajte internetski raspored - vozni red na stanicama samo je na armenskom pismu.

An međunarodna noćni vlak za spavanje vozi između Tbilisi i Erevan, uzimajući 11-12 sati - vidi Tbilisi # Vlakom za sve pojedinosti.

Autobusom ili marshrutkom

Marshrutkas (poznatiji kao minibus, odnosno preuređeni dostavni kombi) glavni su način prijevoza unutar Armenije i na međunarodnoj razini.

• 40.1724944.490673 Glavni autobusni kolodvor (Kilikia), Tsovakal Isakovi Ave, zgrada 6 (2 km zapadno od središta grada na aveniji Admirala Isakova. Od centra grada autobusom 13 (od metroa Barekamutsun), 23 (od željezničkog kolodvora) ili 15, 67 i 75 (od Trga Republike). Taksi koji koristi brojilo bio bi 500 drama.), ☏ 374 10 565370. Maršrutke odavde trče prema sjeveru Echmiadzin, Gyumri, Vanadzor i Tbilisi, istočno do Stepanakert u Nagorno-Karabah, i jugoistočno do Sisian, Goris, Kapan i Meghri u blizini graničnog prijelaza za Iran. Lokalne usluge prometuju prema zračnoj luci, gradu Zvartnotsu i Echmiadzinu. (ažurirano listopada 2018)
• 40.23942244.5696044 Sjeverni autobusni kolodvor (Severny Avtovakzal) (5 km sjeverno od centra grada na putu za Sevan. Dođite autobusom 113 ili 101 iz ulice Komitas, autobusom 259 iz avenije Mashtots, autobusom 261 iz trgovačkog centra Rossia, autobusom 46 s medicinskog sveučilišta (ugao ulice Abovyan i Koryun) ili taksijem za ~ 1.200 gutljaj.). Sjeverni gradovi poput Sevane i Dilijan služi ova stanica. To je sasvim izlaz, a ako pokušavate doći do Sevanvanka i drugih Jezero Sevan crkve, dalje su taksijem od Sevana. Zgrada kolodvora je ogromna i prazna, mauzolej u sovjetskoj eri (ažurirano listopada 2018)
• 40.198282844.56646365 Autobusni kolodvor Gai, Gai Ave (3 km sjeveroistočno od centra. Vozite se autobusima 22, 26, 36 ili marshrutkama 9, 69, 73 iz centra grada.). Autobusi za Garni, Goght i Geghard trče odavde. To je samo otvoreni trg. (ažurirano listopada 2018)
• 40.1557544.506516 Južni autobusni kolodvor (odmah iza željezničke stanice). Služi odredištima na jugu poput Khor Virapa (autobusi 452, 467, 468 ... 300-400 dram), Artashat, Ararat i Vedi. (ažurirano kolovoza 2019)

Određena odredišta:

• Dilijan - Iz Dilijana u 08:00, 09:15, 11:00, 13:00 i 16:00 sati.
• Tbilisi, Gruzija - Nekih pet ili šest marshrutki trči dnevno, uzimajući 5-6 sati (preko Vanadzora i kanjona Debed) i koštajući 6.500 drama ili 35 larija. Polaze ujutro prema vrlo približnom voznom redu, krećući kad su napunjeni ili kada to vozač želi, zadnji polazak oko 13:00. Promjena u Tbilisiju za odredišta širom Gruzije, Turske i (ako ste sigurni u svoju dobrodošlicu) Azerbejdžana - oni više nemaju direktne usluge do Erevana.
• Iran - Postoje redovni autobusi. Do vas mogu odvesti u Tabrizu ili Teheranu. Ulaznice se mogu kupiti u Tatev Travel-u i drugim mjestima.

Automobilom

Uobičajeni prilaz cestom je iz Tbilisija u Gruziji. Sledite autocestu 6/7 južno jedan sat do granične stanice Sadakhlo / Bagratashen, a zatim nastavite na M6 zavijajući se prema prekrasnom kanjonu Debed (izvrsno planinarenje i fantastičan niz samostana, od kojih su nekoliko mjesta koja su pod zaštitom UNESCO-a) do Vanadzora pa preko visoravan do Erevana. Računajte 5 sati: kanjon cesta se u potpunosti obnavlja i proširuje. Puno je bolja cesta nakon Alaverdija. (Neposredno iza Bagratashena, druga cesta graniči se istočno, blizu azerbejdžanske granice. Prije nego što pokušate ovu cestu potražite lokalni savjet, jer povremeno puška puca preko te granice.)

Između Gruzije i Armenije možete prijeći i kod Gogavana / Gugutija i Bavre / Ninotsminde: ove su rute bez problema.

Drugi pristup je iz Irana, prelazeći Nordooz / Agarak. Odatle je šest sati vožnje do Erevana: zanimljiva mjesta na putu su Meghri, Kapan, Goris, i Sisian.

Nemojte ni pomisliti pokušati prijeći u Armeniju cestom izravno iz Turske ili iz Azerbejdžana.

Zaobiđi se

Pješice

Središte Erevana kompaktno je i lako ga je obići pješice. Pripazite, međutim, jer gradilišta, rupe i agresivni vozači obiluju. Prelazite ulicu samo na za to predviđenim mjestima i budite oprezni s rastresenim ili agresivnim vozačima koji ne daju prednost putu pješacima.

Podzemnom željeznicom

Metro sustav u Erevanu prilično je pouzdan i moderan, izgrađen je početkom 1980-ih. To je najbrži put oko grada, a sa 100 drama, najjeftiniji osim pješačenja. Ulaznice se ne izdaju, kupujete plastične tokene i pomoću njih upravljate ulaznim okretnicama. No, nedovoljno se koristi, jer je većini građana autobusi prikladniji.

Metro je jedna linija u obliku slova J koja pokriva 12 km. Vlakovi voze svakih pet minuta od 06:30 do 23:00: indikatori perona se broje, od 00:00 kada je krenuo prethodni vlak. Zbog neravnog krajolika Erevana, stanice su uglavnom vrlo duboke, ali ponekad linija prolazi preko zemlje. Kao i kod ostalih bivših sovjetskih sustava metroa, stanice su detaljno uređene, kombinirajući armenske nacionalne motive s kasnosovjetskom arhitekturom. Fotografiranje nije dopušteno. Planovi za izgradnju dviju daljnjih crta (tvoreći trokut, poput Budimpešte) zasad se nisu ništa postigli.

Stanice metroa od sjevera prema jugu su:

• 40.19788944.4942331 Barekamutyun (tj. "Prijateljstvo"), Ave. maršala Baghramyana (za Nacionalni arhiv Armenije, Yerevan Expo).  
• 40.19169444.5059442 Maršal Baghramyan, Ave. maršala Baghramyana (za Američko sveučilište u Armeniji, Veleposlanstvo UK, Park zaljubljenih, Nacionalna skupština Armenije, Predsjednička palača).

• 40.171744.51335 Zoravar Andranik (General Andranik), Tigran Mets Ave (za sportski stadion Spartak (Armenija), tržnicu Ayrarat, park Luna, katedralu Svetog Grgura, trgovački centar Tashir, poljoprivredni bazar i tržnicu GUM).  
• 40.15517544.5072366 Sasuntsi David (David od Sasuna), Sevan St. (za trgovački centar Yerevan, željeznički kolodvor Erevan).  
• 40.140544.49817 Gortsaranayin (Tvornica), Ulica Bagratuniats blizu križanja Arshakuniats Arshakuniats Ave (za kemijsku tvornicu Nairit).  
• 40.145344.48498 Šengavit, 9. sv (za minibus do Charbakh-a).  
• 40.15144.48359 Garegin Nzhdeh (Trg Garegin Nzhdeh), Trg Garegin Nzhdeh, (za stadion Mika, Jerevansko jezero).  

Marshrutka

Više od stotinu ruta maršrutki presijecaju grad i putuju u predgrađa i šire (poput Gruzije ili Karabagh-a). Na 100 drama vožnje Erevanom oni su povoljna ponuda. Maršrutke su često pretrpane, a tijekom špice možete se naći stojeći zgrbljeni bez sjedala. Broj rute prikazan je na istaknutom mjestu u prozoru, zajedno s armenskim tekstom s popisom glavnih znamenitosti i ulica rute. Opera (ՕՊԵՐԱ) je lako armensku riječ prepoznati na ovim znakovima i glavno je prijelazno mjesto mnogih linija. Kad želite sići, trebali biste reći "kangnek" ili "ijnokh ka" da bi vozač čuo, ili jednostavno recite "stop" na engleskom. Brojevi marshrutki ispisani su na autobusnim kolodvorima, a web stranica turističkih informacija sadrži cijeli popis s odredištima. Platite kad ostavljate marshrutku.

• Prijevoz za Armeniju (Planer putovanja). Nevjerojatna web stranica za planiranje putovanja i nevladin projekt koji volonteri vode za poboljšanje javnog prijevoza, kako za Erevan, tako i za ostatak zemlje. Budući da je ova usluga dostupna i na engleskom i ruskom jeziku, ova web stranica nije sjajna samo za lokalno stanovništvo već i za putnike. Također imaju na raspolaganju sve cijene. FB. (ažurirano u studenom 2019)

Autobusom ili trolejbusom

Erevan također ima trolejbuske i redovne autobusne linije kojima upravlja "Yergortrans". Cijena karte je vrlo jeftina (50 drama za kolica i 100 drama za redovni autobus), a vozila nisu pretrpana. Platite kad napuštate autobus.

Plaćanje Prijevoz za Armeniju planer putovanja, kako je gore opisano. Također, postoji Erevanske rute za iPhone, koji vam ne daje točan vozni red autobusa, ali ima sve autobuske, kolica i maršrutke rute: app.

Taksijem

Obilje u cijelom gradu, taksi bilo gdje u centru ne bi trebao koštati više od 600-1000 drama. Gotovo svi taksiji s nazivima tvrtki sa strane imaju brojila, a cijene imaju tendenciju biti konkurentne među taksi tvrtkama. Da biste prazan označili na ulici, samo ga ispružite i potapšajte po zraku, ako su slobodni, zaustavit će se. Taksiji bez logotipa sa strane obično naplaćuju više i možda pokušavaju izvući više od stranaca. Da ne biste bili otkinuti, nazovite taksi velike tvrtke ili se uputite prema onima najmodernijeg izgleda koji obično imaju metar. Obavezno ga uključite vozač kad započnete i uljudno ga podsjetite da to učini ako je to "zaboravio". Ako taksi ima brojilo, a vozač ga nije uključio, u većini slučajeva putnik ne može platiti putovanje. Nosite nekoliko novčića kako biste spriječili vozače da vam kažu da na njima nema promjene. Standardna cijena je minimalno 500 dram za prvih 5 km i 100 dram za svakih daljnjih km. Automobil i vozač lako se mogu unajmiti za jednodnevni izlet izvan Erevana, za samo 20 američkih dolara plus gorivo.

Usluge vožnje gg i Yandex.Taksi (službeni partner Ubera u Rusiji i nekoliko susjednih zemalja od 2018.) nude konkurentne i iskrene cijene. gg ima paušalnu cijenu od 600 drama u centru, ali za registraciju će vam trebati armenska ili gruzijska SIM kartica. Lyft i Bolt nisu dostupni.

Automobilom

Moguće, ali uglavnom besmisleno - taksiji su tako jeftini. Ako, pak, iznajmljujete za sporedne izlete, ali imate sjedište u gradu, imajte na umu lokalne vozačke navike. Stanovnici nisu agresivni (ako ne računate crne Mercedesove SUV-ove s ruskim tablicama - ovi su sasvim ludi), ali nisu ni susretljivi. Bit ćete mirno odsječeni ili sustignuti; unaprijed se pripremite za skretanje i promjenu trake. Policija je vrlo temeljita; neprestano patroliraju centrom, s bljeskajućim svjetlima, ali bez sirena, i nasrću kad vide prekršaj (kao što je prelazak pune crte). Prometne gužve nastaju jer svi navale na zeleno raskrižje, a tamo se zaglave dok se svjetlo okreće, a zatim promet na prijelazu ponavlja istu vježbu. Parkiranje u centru uglavnom se plaća (osim noći i vikenda), ali ne i posebno usko; na parkirnim stupcima postoje jasne upute na engleskom jeziku, ali učinite sebi uslugu i kupite tjednu kartu u agenciji za iznajmljivanje - sa samo 1.000 drama to je smiješna ponuda (vaš broj pločice tada se unosi u bazu podataka i provjeravaju spremačice protiv toga). Parkiranje uz rub mozda može biti povoljno ponegdje i u određeno vrijeme; obližnje ustanove tada zapovijedaju dijelovima ceste ispred, a polupomoćni "pomoćnik" u reflektirajućem prsluku možda bi vam mahao na mjestu ako vidi da namjeravate tamo parkirati. Prihvatite ponudu; plaćanje usluga ne očekuje se dok ne krenete, a zatim će za novčić od 100 dramatičnih mačaka izaći u promet i zaustaviti ga, omogućujući vam sigurno stvaranje sigurnosne kopije i odlazak.

Crkve

Crkve u Jerevanu otvorene su od ranog jutra do vrlo kasnih večernjih sati. Ne naplaćuje se ulaz. Ako uspijete pronaći svećenika, možete ga zamoliti da vas blagoslovi i bilo koji predmet (nenasilne upotrebe) koji vam pripada (uključujući prijateljstvo i druge odnose).

• 40.18436944.5189781 Katoghike (Crkva Svete Majke Božje Kathoghike, Սուրբ Աստվածածին Կաթողիկէ Եկեղեցի), kut Avenije Sayat-Nova i Abovian St (Metro: Yeritasardakan 300 m). Najstarija preživjela crkva u Erevanu. To je sićušna građevina izrađena u tipičnom armenskom stilu. Katoghike znači "katedrala"; razlog neskladnosti je taj što je današnja crkva, koja datira iz XIII. stoljeća, bila cjelovito ugrađena u baziliku iz XVII. stoljeća - ali ona je srušena 1936. 2015. godine, Catholicos je posvetio veliki bijelo-ružičasti Surp Anna crkva koja se sada nalazi uz Katoghike.  
• 40.21504844.5719652 Crkva Katoghike Tsiranavor u Avanu (Ավանի Սուրբ Աստվածածին Կաթողիկե Եկեղեցի, crkva Katoghike Tsiranavor, kasnije preimenovana u Surp Hovhannes) (u okrugu Avan). Ovo je najstarija sačuvana gradska crkva koja je dovršena u 6. stoljeću.  
• 40.17194444.5166673 Katedrala svetog Grgura Prosvjetitelja, Yervand Kochar St. (Metro: Zoravar Andranik). Dovršeno 2001. godine u spomen na 1700. obljetnicu Armenije kao kršćanske nacije. Svete relikvije svetog Grgura Armenskog Vatikan je vratio Armenskoj crkvi 2001. godine i stavio ih u ovu katedralu. Zgrada je megalomansko pretjerivanje tradicionalne armenske crkvene arhitekture. Za razliku od svih ostalih crkava u Erevanu (i Armeniji), katedrala je puna svjetlosti i nema postolje za svijeće. Svijećnica je zasebna građevina u susjedstvu. Međutim, kompleks je uvelike i vidljivo nedovršen.  
• 40.1769844.5021484 Katedrala Svetog Sarkisa, Ulica Israyelyan (na granici centra grada, na slikovitom klancu rijeke Raždan, metro: Yeritasardakan 2 km). S Mosta pobjede (ili alternativno s zgrade Tvornice rakije) pruža se prekrasan pogled na crkvu i okolicu (građevine različitih nijansi izgrađene u neposrednoj blizini crkve tijekom sovjetskih godina prisilne sekularizacije). U crkvi je uvijek gužva. Obično ima i mnogo mladih ljudi jer je Sveti Sargij (ili Sveti Sergije u zapadnim crkvama) zaštitnik mladih i ljubavnika.  
• 40.1867544.541255 Sveti Astvatsatsin iz Norka (Crkva Svetog Križa, Սուրբ Խաչ եկեղեցու), Nork-Marash (Նորք-Մարաշ) upravni okrug, u blizini obrazovnog kompleksa Olimpos (Najprikladniji način za doći do crkve je pomoću uspinjače iz Erevana. Sama uspinjača poseban je doživljaj. Međutim, crkva nije odmah pored uspinjače, pa će vam na kraju trebati pomoć lokalnog stanovništva. Ulaz u uspinjaču nalazi se na križanju ulica Nalbandian i Charents. Crkva se nalazi u jerevanskoj četvrti Nork - uspavanoj četvrti bogatih.). Ovo je replika prekrasne crkve Svete Majke Božje iz 18. stoljeća (Sb Astvatsatsin na armenskom) uništene tijekom sovjetskih godina prisilne sekularizacije. Zbog iznenadne smrti dobročinitelja, crkveni kompleks nikada nije završen.  
• 40.18526544.5036736 Crkva sv. Ivana Krstitelja (Crkva sv. Hovhannesa), Ulica svetog Hovhanesa (Jugozapadno 500 m od metroa Marshala Baghramyana, u blizini glavne pošte).  

Orijentiri

• 40.14064744.5379497 Tvrđava Erebuni, Erebuni St. (Էրեբունի փող), 38 (Podzemna željeznica: Sasuntsi David 2 km), ☏ 374 10 432661. Iskapanja, rekreacije i muzej gotovo 3000 godina stare tvrđave koja je uspostavila Erevan. Prilično dobro (i možda najbolje) očuvana tvrđava Urartijskog razdoblja u Armeniji. 1.000 drama.  
• 40.17752544.5125728 Trg Republike (Armenski: Հանրապետության Հրապարակ Ruski: Ploŝadʹ Respubliki) (Metro: Trg Republike). Glavni gradski trg sjajan je primjer sovjetske javne arhitekture. Rane zgrade (domovi vlade, Ministarstvo komunikacija i hotel Marriott) neoklasicistične su s armenskim naznakama. Kasnije zgrade (Ministarstvo vanjskih poslova i Umjetnička galerija) moderne su imitacije.
  Unutar trga, Pjevaju fontane izvode većinu večeri od travnja do listopada, plešući i pjenušajući uz klasičnu i suvremenu glazbu. U listopadu 2018. grad je oplakivao prolazak Charlesa Aznavura improviziranim svetištima, slikama i zvučnim zapisima ovdje i drugdje: Pjevajuće fontane plesale su gotovo jednako kao i njegove najpoznatije melodije kao i prije s Rossinijevom ili Sinatrinom. (ažurirano listopada 2018)
• 40.18222244.5147229 Sjeverna avenija (Metro: Hanrapetutyan Hraparak (Trg Republike)). Nemoguće propustiti, ova pješačka avenija otvorena je 2008. godine povezujući Operu s Trgom Republike, dva središta središnjeg Erevana. To je postmoderni odgovor na sovjetsku arhitekturu Erevana nakon Drugog svjetskog rata. Nastaje kao trgovačka četvrt, zajedno s avenijom Sayat-Nova, Terian st., Tumanian st. i Abovian sv.  
• 40.185344.520710 Ulica Abovian (Աբովյան Փողոց), Okrug Kentron (Metro: Yeritasardakan). Dom je vrlo malo preostalih struktura iz razdoblja Belle Époque u republikanskoj Armeniji. Neke dragulje secesije, rane moderne (konstruktivistički i slično) i maurskog preporoda mogu se naći u dvorištima ulica Abovian, Nalbandian i Hanrapetutian. Najčešće su u vrlo lošem stanju zbog zanemarivanja. Hanrapetutian sv. možda ćete dobiti posebnu pažnju ako niste vremenski ograničeni. 
• 40.1853644.5152211 Trg slobode (ili kazališni). Na sjevernoj strani trga nalazi se Opera, a slijedi park pun kafića na otvorenom, s juga graniči sa Sjevernom avenijom, a na istoku se trg polako pretvara u park s Labuđim jezerom.  
• 40.182544.50972212 Mashtots avenija, Mashtots Ave (u centru). To je gradska autocesta s 8 traka koja na neki način također prima pješačke zone sa strane (rezultat standardnog sovjetskog planiranja glavnih "Prospekta"). Pretjerano je bučno zbog gustog prometa (uglavnom neorganiziranog javnog prijevoza), ali dijelovi u blizini Opere omiljeno su mjesto za druženje mještana. Na aveniji postoje tri zgrade na koje vrijedi obratiti pažnju - Matenadaran, natkrivena tržnica (unutrašnjost je danas moderan supermarket i tržni centar, ali je visoko uređena originalna vanjska strana preživjela) i Plava džamija.  
• 40.1920744.5211313 Matenadaran. U njoj se nalazi najveća svjetska zbirka armenskih osvijetljenih rukopisa i jedna od najvećih takvih zbirki bilo koje vrste na svijetu. Izložbena soba sadrži uzorke nekih od najboljih djela, a dodatni trošak razgleda se vodi. Zgrada je ukopana u brdo i može podnijeti nuklearni napad. Kip od bijelog kamena nalazi se Mesropa Mashtotsa, koji podučava armensku abecedu, svoj izum, zanesenom učeniku (Koryun, prvi armenski povjesničar i biograf) i gleda dolje na ulicu svog imena.  
• 40.178144.505614 Blue Mosque, 12 Mesrop Mashtots Ave (: Hanrapetutyan Hraparak). An 18th-century Shia Islamic Mosque, one of the extreme few surviving structures of a once (before Soviet secularisation) prospering Muslim community of Yerevan.  
• 40.19137544.51552215 Cascades, Sculpture Park and Cafesjian Museum (Cafesjian Centre for the Arts), 10 Tamanyan Street, ☏ 374 10 541932. Tu-Th 10:00-17:00, F-Su 10:00-20:00. The Sculpture Park is a small green zone in the immediate North of the Opera. Sculptures from Botero and other artists of international fame decorate the park. The park is part of Cafesjian Museum - the Armenian version of Guggenheim. The main part of the museum is in the Cascades - an Art Deco version of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon stretching nearly the height of the Empire State Building. It's a massive white stairway up a hillside of central Yerevan, decorated with green stretches, fountains and waterfalls. Higher level of the Cascades give a spectacular view of Mount Ararat and panorama of central Yerevan with its hilariously multi-colour roofs. The first floor and the bookstore of the museum as well as the indoor escalators to the top of the Cascades are free of charge. Adults 1,000 dram, children under 12 - free. (ažurirano travnja 2015)
• 40.15526144.50898416 Train Station and Sasuntsi David Statue (Kayaran or David of Sassoun Square), 71 Tigran Mets Ave (Metro to Sasuntsi David station). Beautiful square and train station with Soviet classical architecture, and one of Armenia's most famous monuments - the soaring statue of Sasuntsi David (David of Sasun), which is often used as a symbol of the city.

The early periods are amply annotated, but the English (and Russian) tags thin out considerably by mid-XIX century, reappear in the exhibit dedicated to the Great Catastrophe of 1915 (though it's very disturbing even without a single word), and are missing completely for the Soviet era, so if you're interested in the more modern history of the country and don't speak Armenian, a guided tour may be advisable. A "strictly no photography" policy applies. 1,000 dram, usual discounts apply. (ažurirano u svibnju 2018)

That's usually a huge event, with central Yerevan being pedestrian only: many stages all over the city for theatrical or music (usually thematic - ethnic minorities, folk, jazz, rock, pop and classics) performances with a culmination on Republic Square. The festival is centered around the Erebuni fortress, since it is the cradle of Yerevan. It is hard though to find out the exact dates for the festival. 2019 was year 2801, and 2020 is year 2802.

A 10-year visa/permit for US$350 is available, or for those with the right paperwork, citizenship can be had for free.

Volunteering in Armenia may be a suitable for those wanting the experience. Armenian Volunteer Corps can organize a volunteer placement and visa for you.

For those of ethnic Armenian descent, there are programs such as Birthright Armenia, which will pay for your trip if you participate in their program.

Souvenirs

• Armenian brandy (locally called Cognac as well) is considered one of the world's finest brandies and is accordingly a popular gift to take home for tourists. It was actually Winston Churchill's brandy of choice. There are many stores within central Yerevan centre devoted solely to brandy from the Ararat Cognac Factory; the airport is also a good place to stock up at duty free. As a rule, the more aged the brandy, the more refined the taste and the more expensive. But regardless the series of brandy, in Yerevan it will be an excellent value.
• Armenian rugs, new and old are popular. New carpets can be purchased at the Mergeryan Rug Factory for a good price. More upscale is the international brand “Tufenkian Carpets”, with a shop on Tumanyan near Abovyan. Both will add your name or inscription request into an existing rug, or do a custom rug for you. There is no problem with exporting these. Old rugs are found in stores all over town, or in Vernissage. Be sure the seller obtains an export certificate from the ministry of culture for you – or you’re taking a chance that it may be confiscated. Negotiate to have the certificate delivered to you as part of the purchase price, and buy your rug a week before you go to give them time to obtain this certificate. New rugs do not require certification, but keep your factory certificate as proof that it is new.
• More fragile, but maybe worth the effort are some of the more exotic jams and preserves made in Armenia. From walnut preserves, to “Sea Buckthorne” (Chichkhan), virtually everything that grows in Armenia is canned!
• L'atelier Restaurant Salon Imperial Russian Antiques, Mashtots 37 (near Opera).

Currency

Exchange kiosks at Zvartnots Airport have only a 3% spread between "buy" and "sell" for major currencies, so these are very good value, and downtown is similar. (Western high-street exchanges have about 15% spread, and airports 30% or worse.) However, for less common currencies e.g. Turkish lira the spread is much wider: exchange only the minimum at the airport then shop around for better rates downtown. Stores and restaurants will frequently accept US dollars, euros or western credit cards.

Cash in Armenian dram can be withdrawn from numerous ATMs in the city, but you may have to try several machines before getting money. You can also withdraw money from your card at a bank, but it may take visits to several before you find one that will let you do so.

Khinkali (sturdy soup dumplings, similar to xiao long bao that came to Caucasus over the Silk Road) with meat or cheese filling is the name of the game here. You can have them boiled or fried; they are priced per dumpling, and 6-8 should be enough for an average appetite. If you try using knife and fork, you'll end up with a pool of soup on your plate; grab the dumpling by the bunched top, bite out a notch in the side and slurp in the liquid, then eat the rest (tops are not for eating, and the dough in them may even come out undercooked). Appetizers (soups, salads and a variety of homemade pickles) are delightful too. There are two bronze figures at the entrance welcoming you to step down, and a giddily over-the-top interior in plush and chintz, with televisions playing Armenian music programs of the Soviet era. from 1,500 dram.

You'll have to rub shoulders with an occasional government function, a wedding shower or a busful of tourists, but the food is the real thing. Do not be scared by the names of the dishes - the more unpronounceable, the tastier (tzhvzhik, for example, is fegata alla veneziana, offal with fried onions - delicious!), and the English menu has helpful descriptions and pictures. You can go as high as 15,000 dram for an entire baked veal shoulder, but most (and best) mains are in the 2,000-4,000 dram range. Do not miss putuk, lamb soup in an individual crock sealed with baked dough, and tolma (any one) is almost like homemade. A very good native wine selection. Live music from 19:30 daily, but the place is so big that getting a quieter nook is not a problem. Three more (smaller) branches in the city - Amiryan 5, Paronyan 7 and Khorenatsi 29.

Piće

Armenia is a place to drink, with no prohibition against drinking in public. Cafés, bars, restaurants, clubs and the countryside on a picnic are all popular places for vodka, the usual drink of choice, with wine, beer, champagne and brandy all popular as well. Most restaurants only sell pilsner-style beers, of middling quality, but some brew pubs and craft beer outlets can be found. Restaurant wine is usually very good.

You can drink in a car, as long as you’re not driving. Drivers cannot have a drop of alcohol in them, with zero being the legal threshold – and the penalties for violating this are stiff.

Places for a drink

The most popular places to drink in the summer tend to be outdoor cafés and café/restaurants. The cafés by the Opera and Republic Square are always packed.

The following bars are popular spots with visitors.

• 40.18515544.5093821 Calumet, 56a Pushkin St, ☏ 374 94 359229. Bohemian, friendly, alternative crowd. Insanely smokey (seriously).

Drinks to try

• Cognac – see the buy section above.
• Homemade fruit vodkas – these are not flavoured from fruit like most of the western vodkas but made from pure fruit. The most popular is the Tutti Oghi (Mulberry Vodka), but just as impressive if you can find them are the Cornelian Cherry (Hon), Pear, Apricot and Peach.
• Wine – Areni grapes are only grown in Armenia, which is in the oldest grape and wine producing part of the world. Old Yerevan is the best brand.
• Compote – if you can get it, this usually home made fruit juice is fantastic. Ask locals, and if some of them have it at home, they will drag you in to try.
• Tan – blended plain yoghurt with water and a dash of salt, this drink is often an acquired taste, and very refreshing. You can sometimes find bottled fizzy tan, which is an even more acquired taste.

Kafići

Yerevan has a serious café culture, and it can be hard to tell where one outdoor café ends and the next begins as they run into each other.

Ostati siguran

Erevan je općenito sigurniji od mnogih zapadnoeuropskih gradova, a kriminala i uličnog nasilja gotovo i nema. Ipak, kao i u većini gradova njegove veličine, na mjestima s puno ljudi i u prometu pazite se džeparoša.

Promet može biti prilično gust, pa obratite posebnu pažnju prilikom prelaska ulice, posebno na neodređenom području. Za pješačenje šeta se oko 3.000 drama.

Ostati zdrav

Pušenje može se činiti nacionalnom razonodom, i zaista, Armenija ima jednu od najviših stopa pušenja u cijeloj Europi. Da biste izbjegli dim, držite se restorana s vanjskim sjedalima, neka vaš taksist zna da nije u redu pušiti (ne bi trebali). Postoji niz dobrih opcija za nepušače, od kojih se mnoge mogu naći na ova karta mjesta za nepušače u Erevanu. Vlada je najavila da će pušenje u restoranima i kafićima biti zabranjeno od studenog 2018., iako zakon još uvijek nije usvojen.

Jednostavni jednodnevni izleti

Mnoge vrhunske znamenitosti Armenije skupljene su blizu Erevana i lagani su jednodnevni izleti, iako će vam trebati vlastiti prijevoz za nekoliko:

• Garni, 15 km istočno od Erevana, ima helenistički hram i vjerski / kraljevski kompleks, smješten na vrhu kanjona.
• Samostan Geghard, 5 km dalje, urezan je na stranu kanjona.
• Državni rezervat šuma Khosrov nalazi se u planinama iznad Gegharda. Nekoliko samostana, špilja i drevna tvrđava Kakavaberd.
• Echmiadzin (danas se zove Vagharshapat), 15 km zapadno od Erevana, nalazi se Canterbury iz Armenije, sa samostanom i katedralom. 3 km istočno nalaze se ruševine katedrale Zvartnots.
• Aštarak 15 km sjeverozapadno ima katedralu Sv. Hovhannes Karapet smještenu iznad klisure Kasagh.
• Artashat 20 km južno nalazi se samostan Khor Virap. Vozite se autobusima 452, 467, 468 od Južnog autobusnog kolodvora za Khor Virap; 300-400 dram.
• Armash, 60 km jugoistočno, ima riblje lagune koje su postale važno stanište ptica. Suprotstavlja se zatvorenim granicama s Turskom i Nakhčivanom, pa očekujte službenu sumnju. Osobni dokument s fotografijom obavezan je za ulazak

Dalje van, prikladniji za noćna putovanja (na raspolaganju je puno tura):

• Oko planine Aragats nalaze se dvorac Amberd i crkva.
• Samostan Noravank, kanjon Noravank i Vinska zemlja Areni udaljeni su 80 km jugoistočno.
• Na sjeveru oko jezera Sevane su samostani Tsakhkadzor, Sevanavank i Hayravank, groblje Noratus Khachkar i Dilijan stari Grad.
• Jermuk, Samostan Sisian i Tatev nalaze se dalje cestom jugoistočno.

Iza Armenije

• Artsah ili Nagorno-Karabah je de facto odvojena republika, a nije međunarodno priznata. Jedini put ulaska i izlaska je cestom iz Armenije.
• Očito je sljedeće odredište Tbilisi. Usput pokušajte razgledati kanjon i samostane uokolo Alaverdi.
