    Yerevan, the capital of Armenia and one of the oldest cities in the world, was founded in 782 BC, making it 29 years older than Rome. Its story begins with the fortress of Erebuni, built by King Argishti I and today the ancient ruins coexist in harmony with modern buildings and lively streets. The city is poetically called the "pink" capital, since most of its buildings are made of volcanic tuff in warm shades of pink that glow beautifully at sunset.

    2. ARARAT Brandy Factory

    60-70 min Details: ARARAT Brandy Factory

    ARARAT brandy is not just a drink – it is Armenia captured in flavor: its sun, mountains and centuries-old traditions. Each glass feels like a journey into old Yerevan, where oak barrels guard the secrets of master distillers and amber liquid matures slowly in the soft shadows of the cellars.

    3. Megerian Carpet Factory-Museum

    40-50 min Details: Megerian Carpet Factory-Museum

    Carpets are far more than woven fabrics – they are chapters of history, where each motif carries the hidden voice of generations. In Armenia, the art of carpet weaving has long been one of the most vivid expressions of culture and worldview. Every ornament is a symbol, every thread a living memory, tying the present to the depth of centuries.

    4. Matenadaran – The Museum of Ancient Manuscripts

    70-80 min Details: Matenadaran – The Museum of Ancient Manuscripts

    On the northern slope of Mashtots Avenue rises the Matenadaran – guardian of Armenia's ancient wisdom and timeless secrets. Its very name, meaning "repository of manuscripts" in Classical Armenian, evokes an almost mythical treasury where each manuscript is a silent breath of the past. Here are preserved scrolls and codices once copied by the hands of monks in the glow of candlelight, passed down like sacred fire through generations. More than twenty thousand volumes and fragments open entire worlds to the reader from philosophical treatises and epic poems to medical manuals and celestial maps.

    Постакомиться с Ереваном нам помогали Асник и Маркос (водитель). Добротная экскурсия с доброжелательным отношением. Я в силу ряда причин довольно глубоко знаю историю армян, поэтому часто экскурсия проходила в форме диалога. Тем не менее, узнали много нового и интересного. Мне особенно приятно было увидеть памятник команде Арарат - чемпионом СССР 1973 года. Окунулся в детство.
    Спасибо всем за профессионализм и доброту.
