1. Yerevan (main sights)
150-180 min
Yerevan is the capital city of Armenia, a city, which is 29 years older than Rome! It dates back to 782 BC, when the fortress of Erebuni was built by king Argishti The First. Yerevan is often referred to as "The Pink City" for many buildings are made of pink tuff stone. The capital city is a major tourist destination thanks to its numerous landmarks, extensive nightlife, great museums and lovely parks. A walking tour is the best way to really get immersed in Yerevan's culture, history and cuisine. One of the truly magnificent sights is Republic Square with musical fountains: from early May till mid-autumn there is a fantastic singing-dancing fountains show, accompanied by some great music of various genres. Another sight not to be missed is Cascade Complex, offering absolutely breathtaking views from the top to the city. You can fully enjoy it at night, when Yerevan lights up.
2. Lusik Aguletsi house-museum
30-40 min
Honored Artist of the Republic of Armenia, owner of "Movses Khorenatsi" Medal, Lusik Aguletsi was a collector, writer, ethnology lover, a faithful supporter of traditions and the only woman at her time to preserve the old Armenian "fashion", as she would always go out in traditional costumes, called taraz... Aguletsi managed to save more than a thousand different elements of Armenian culture, spending almost all her lifetime on it. Thus, if you want to immerse in the energy of old Armenian customs and see what a typical Armenian place would look like, take the chance to visit the house-museum of Lusik Aguletsi in Yerevan. The interior will make you feel as if you are in a whole different world after the noisy city. Apart from this, the visitors will find there Lusik's personal belongings, such as ornamented belts, jewelry, dresses and traditional costumes, carpets, puppets, etc., most of which are handmade. The walls are decorated with her paintings – all wonderfully traditional.
