Erevan - Yerevan

Erevan (Armensko: Երեւան) je glavno mesto Republike Slovenije Armenija, eno od treh vozlišč Južni Kavkaz v njem živi več kot milijon ljudi - največja armenska skupnost na svetu. V sovjetskih letih je bil Erevan masovno obnovljen po načrtu arhitekta Aleksandra Tamanyana, da bi naredil "popolno mesto" - neoklasično mesto s širokimi avenijami, ki Pariz, Dunaj in Saint Petersburg.

Osrednji Erevan je pravi dragulj zgodnjega obdobja Sovjetski arhitektura. Prav tako je dom številnih modernih in postmodernih čudes, ki so večinoma rezultat sovjetsko-armenske arhitekturne megalomanije. V sovjetskih dneh je Erevan že postal znan kot Pink City toliko zaradi barve lehnjakovega kamna, ki se uporablja za gradnjo, toliko kot razkošnega duha njenega mladega prebivalstva.

Okrožja

Večina turističnega Erevana je skoncentrirana v središču mesta, ki je zelo kompaktno in lahko dostopno, z neskončnimi restavracijami in možnostmi zabave. Preostali del mesta večinoma spi ali v poslovnih prostorih, zato običajen turist ne bo imel veliko spodbud za odhod iz centra.

• Kentron, Center City, Center mesta ali Downtown - je osrednji Erevan, lokalno znan kot Kentron ali samo Kaghak (kar pomeni "mesto"). To je srce Erevana in dejansko Armenije. Čeprav je arhitektura Kentrona raznolika, od Belle Epoque do sovjetskih blokov, je velika večina središča v tradiciji lepote. Središče mesta sledi načrtu Tamanyana za krožno mesto z dvema vozliščema - velikim Trgom republike in bolj elegantnim in mehkim opernim okrožjem (operna hiša, trg svobode in park Swan Lake). Oba sta povezana z na novo zgrajeno Severno avenijo, namenjeno samo pešcem. V Kentronu je tudi univerzitetno mesto, kjer se kampusi državne univerze, medicinske univerze, inženirske univerze, kmetijske univerze, ekonomske univerze, pedagoške in nekaterih drugih univerz združujejo v eno veliko skupino. Skoraj vsi muzeji, hoteli in priljubljeni kraji za jesti in pijačo so v Kentronu, zato se večina obiskovalcev verjetno ne bo preveč podala mimo njega.
• Barekamutyun - Kar pomeni prijateljstvo, je Barekamutyun območje okoli istoimenske podzemne postaje. V tem središču je dom Hayastan Hanrakhanut (veleblagovnica), ki je bolj notranji bazar kot dejanska veleblagovnica. Središče se odcepi do Kievyan in bližnjih ulic Komitas.
• Spomenik - Na vrhu kaskadnih stopnic stoji visok spomenik sovjetski zmagi v 2. svetovni vojni. Neposredno v bližini je muzej Cafesjian, v katerem je velika zbirka sodobne umetnosti, vključno z morda najboljšo zbirko steklenih umetniških del na svetu. Zunaj spomenika je park zmage, soseska okoli njega pa je znana tudi kot spomenik.
• Erebuni - V tem okrožju so ruševine trdnjave Erebuni, ki jo je leta 782 pred našim štetjem ustanovil kralj Argishti.
• Bangladeš - Ne gre zamenjati z državo v Aziji! Turistu ni veliko za ponuditi, vendar je to ime vredno razložiti. Takrat je bilo to eno najbolj oddaljenih novih okrožij, zgrajenih v Erevanu, zaradi oddaljenosti pa so ga domačini hitro začeli imenovati Bangladeš, ki se drži do danes. V tem okrožju se nahaja največji bazar na prostem v Erevanu.
• Niti Nork okrožje je zadnji sovjetski projekt širitve stanovanj v Erevanu. Sestavljen je v celoti iz standardiziranih sovjetskih blokov. Vsak turist pa prečka to okrožje na poti do "obveznega" templja Garni in samostana Geghard (saj je avtocesta v to smer povezana z glavno avenijo tega okrožja). Glavna atrakcija tega okrožja bi bil kip Gaya (ali Hayka) Nahapeta, legendarnega ustanovitelja države; upodobljen je kot mišičast polnag moški z napetim lokom, vendar ime nima nič skupnega s homoseksualnostjo (da bi se izognili temu zanimivemu nesporazumu, je ime drevoreda in kipa najpogosteje romanizirano kot Guy).

Razumeti

Čeprav zgodovina Erevana sega v trdnjavo Erebuni, ki je bila stara vsaj 2800 let, je malo majhnega naselja, ki je rešilo izkopavanja v soteski reke Hrazdan, Erebuni, Karmir Berd in Avan. Ta najdišča so bila izkopana, najdeni predmeti pa so danes v muzejih. Biti na strateško pomembnem mestu je bil Erevan neprekinjena vojna faza za rivalske otomanske, perzijske in ruske imperije. Te vojne ali naravne nesreče so ga večkrat uničile (npr. Potres v 17. stoletju je mesto skoraj v celoti uničil). Nekaj ​​stavb starega Erivana je preživelo do današnjega Erevana.

V času neodvisnosti Armenije leta 1918, ko je Erevan postal glavno mesto neodvisne Armenije, je bil Erevan samo 20.000 mest. Začela se je obsežna gradnja, ki je v novem mestnem načrtu, ki ga je postavil Aleksander Tamanyan, zavzela bolj celosten pristop. Načrt je vključeval rušenje večine obstoječega v korist koncentričnih krogov, parkov in višjih struktur. Načrtoval je, da bo Erevan postal velemesto z 200.000 prebivalci.

Ljudje

Erevan je zelo etnično homogeno mesto, čeprav obstajajo majhne Yezidi in Molokan (ruske) manjšine. Ker je bilo v mestu pred stoletji le 20.000 prebivalcev, je velika večina Armencev priseljencev z vsega sveta. Iz armenskih vasi in mest, iz Tbilisija, ki je bil središče vzhodne armenske kulture pred 1918, iz Zahodne Armenije, ko so se prelivali preživeli genocidi, in celo z Bližnjega vzhoda in Evrope v velikem valu priseljevanja po drugi svetovni vojni . Od osamosvojitve je mesto postalo srce celotnega armenskega sveta, saj je razpad delitve komunističnih vlad dopustil diaspori, ki je bila številčnejša od samega prebivalstva Armenije, mesto sprejeti kot svoje.

Religija

Številni obiskovalci bodo presenečeni, ko bodo vedeli, da Armenija ni le izpad krščanstva v Kavkaz, vendar je prva država na svetu, ki je krščanstvo sprejela kot državno religijo. Kralj je leta 301 našega štetja razglasil krščanstvo za državno vero. Od takrat se v Armeniji krščanstvo neprekinjeno izvaja v lastnih tradicijah.

The Armenska apostolska cerkevali samo Apostolska cerkev, je Nacionalna cerkev Armenije. Zelo je tradicionalno; v praksah (ne pa v zgodovini) podoben pravoslavnim in katoliškim gibanjem ter reformiranim cerkvam, npr. angleška cerkev. Hkrati ima Armenska apostolska cerkev nekaj presenetljivo različnih praks, na primer dovoljevanje žrtev živali ali praznovanje božiča 6. januarja skupaj s Teofanijo.

Velika večina Armencev se opredeljuje kot apostolske kristjane in ima svoje Catholicos (verski vodja, kot papež za katoličane). Danes velika večina Armencev ne obiskuje cerkve vsako nedeljo, obiski se vrtijo okoli porok in krstov ali občasno popustijo, da prižgejo svečo. S sovjetskim prestrukturiranjem mesta je iz Erevana ostalo zelo malo cerkva: čeprav je bilo od osamosvojitve zgrajenih veliko novih in starih saniranih.

The Protestantski (evangeličanski) Armenci jih je precej malo in imajo samo eno cerkev na ulici Nar-Dos.

Anglikanski (škofovski) Kristjani se zbirajo v (armenski apostolski) cerkvi Surb Zoravor za nedeljsko evharistijo.

Pravoslavni kristjani vzdrževati eno cerkev v okrožju Kanaker v Jerevanu. V okrožju Jerevanskega jezera je v izgradnji nova obsežna pravoslavna katedrala svetega križa s čebulasto kupolo, ki je vidna z avtoceste, ki prihaja z letališča. Vendar bo imela ta večinoma simbolično strukturo, saj je pravoslavnih kristjanov zelo malo.

Yezidi (verska in etnična manjšina v Armeniji) verski rituali, kot večina te religije, ostanejo tajni, zato tujci ne morejo upoštevati njihovih praks. V vasi zunaj Erevana gradijo največji jezidski tempelj na svetu.

Muslimani številčno naraščajo od propada EU Sovjetska zveza, ki ga je spodbujalo iransko priseljevanje. Na aveniji Mashtots je ena mošeja.

V Erevanu je prisotnih tudi veliko krščanskih sekt, ki se zbirajo v šolah, športnih klubih, koncertnih dvoranah in podobno.

Podnebje

Ob polsušnem podnebju ima Erevan dolga vroča poletja in hladne snežne zime, obe z malo padavinami. Zima ni primeren čas za obisk Erevana, zaradi ledenih pločnikov in zadimljenih restavracij je vreden ogleda kateri koli drug letni čas. Pomlad ponuja blago, a včasih mokro vreme ter veliko zelenih gričev in divjih cvetov. Poletje je zelo vroče, a dolge pozne noči v kavarnah ter sadje in zelenjava so neverjetni. Jesen je najbolj priljubljena s popolnim vremenom in odlično svežo hrano na kmetiji.

  Letališče je majhno, z relativno malo leti, zato je navigacija po njem preprosta. Brezplačen brezžični internet je na voljo v odhodnem terminalu. Ob prihodu je menjava valut pred kontrolo potnih listov, nato še ena v Prihodih: oba sta dobra, le 3-odstotni razmik med "nakup" in "prodaja" za glavne valute, enako kot menjave v središču mesta. V 1. in 2. nadstropju letališča je na voljo več spodobnih kavarn, bankomatov, bančnih in poštnih poslovalnic. V Prihodih sta informacijski pult za turiste in informacijsko stojalo na zaslonu na dotik. (posodobljeno oktober 2018)

Kako priti tja / stran:

• A avtobus ima redna potovanja med letališčem Zvartnots in centrom Erevana. Avtobusi vozijo vsake pol ure 07: 00-22: 00 in vsako uro 22: 30-07: 00. Letališko avtobusno postajališče se nahaja pred vhodom v terminal. Ena vozovnica stane 300 dramov. Avtobus na poti naredi nekaj postankov, kjer se lahko potniki vkrcajo ali izkrcajo, npr. France Square, Pak Shuka in Yeritasardakan. Na poti do letališča je postanek pri Yeritasardakanu nasproti supermarketa SAS ali na Trgu republike (na ulici Abovyan). Glej tudi uradno Pogosta vprašanja o spletni strani letališča.

Obstajajo tudi ljudje, ki vas bodo ob izhodu iz terminala vprašali, ali potrebujete taksi. Pogosto bodo ponudili ugodnejšo ceno (približno polovico cene) kot uradni taksi, saj so že spustili potnika in iščejo morebitno vozovnico nazaj - čeprav boste morali do njihove kabine še malo peš. Če pa vam na koncu poskušajo zaračunati kaj več od dogovorjene cene, če trdijo, da gre za nesporazum ali kaj drugega, absolutno zavrnite in zagrožite, da boste poklicali policijo.

To je neoklasična zgradba, manjša različica stalinističnih nebotičnikov z "poročno torto", kot je Moskovska državna univerza, z rdečo zvezdo, ki utripa iz njenega trna. Stavba, trg in kip so impresivni, toda s tako malo vlaki je postaja pogosto duhovno tiha. Postaja vključuje "Muzej železniškega prometa v Armeniji". (posodobljeno oktober 2018)

Erevan je središče malega Armenije domače železniški sistem, s prevozom enkrat na dan do Armavirja (1 h), Ararata (70 min) in Gyumrija (3 ure, plus hitrejši vlak F-Su).

Določene destinacije:

• Dilijan - iz Dilijana ob 8:00, 9:15, 11:00, 13:00 in 16:00.
• Tbilisi, Georgia - Vsak dan teče kakih pet ali šest marshrutk, ki trajajo 5-6 ur (preko Vanadzorja in kanjona Debed) in stanejo 6.500 dramov ali 35 larijev. Odpeljejo se zjutraj po zelo približnem voznem redu, ko se odpravijo, ko so polni ali ko voznik to želi, zadnji odhod pa okoli 13:00. Menjava v Tbilisiju za cilje po Gruziji, Turčiji in (če ste prepričani v svojo dobrodošlico) Azerbajdžanu - ti nimajo več neposrednih storitev do Erevana.
• Iran - Obstajajo redni avtobusi. Odložijo vas lahko v Tabrizu ali Teheranu. Vstopnice lahko kupite na Tatev Travel in drugje.

Z avtom

Običajni pristop po cesti je iz Tbilisija v Gruziji. Eno uro sledite avtocesti 6/7 do južne mejne postaje Sadakhlo / Bagratashen, nato pa nadaljujte po M6, ki se vije po čudovitem kanjonu Debed (čudovit pohodniški in fantastični niz samostanov, od katerih je nekaj Unescove svetovne dediščine) do Vanadzorja, nato čez planota do Erevana. Predvidevamo 5 ur: kanjonska cesta je popolnoma obnovljena in razširjena. Za Alaverdijem je veliko boljša cesta. (Tik za Bagratašenom se druga cesta odcepi proti vzhodu, blizu azerbajdžanske meje. Preden začnete poskusiti po tej cesti, poiščite nasvet, saj občasno pride do izmenjave strelov čez to mejo.)

Med Gruzijo in Armenijo lahko prečkate tudi v Gogavan / Guguti in Bavra / Ninotsminda: te poti so brez težav.

Drugi pristop je iz Irana, ki prečka Nordooz / Agarak. Od tam je šest ur vožnje do Erevana: zanimiva mesta na poti so Meghri, Kapan, Goris, in Sisian.

Sploh ne pomislite, da bi poskušali v Armenijo prečkati cesto neposredno iz Turčije ali iz Azerbajdžana.

Obiti

Peš

Središče Erevana je kompaktno in ga je enostavno prehoditi peš. Vendar bodite pozorni, saj je gradbišč, ​​jam in agresivnih voznikov na pretek. Ulico prečkajte samo na določenih mestih in bodite previdni pri motečih ali agresivnih voznikih, ki pešcem ne dajo prednosti.

Z metrojem

Metro sistem v Erevanu je dokaj zanesljiv in sodoben, saj je bil zgrajen v zgodnjih osemdesetih letih. To je najhitrejša pot po mestu in s 100 drami je najcenejša, razen hoje. Vstopnice se ne izdajo, kupite plastične žetone in jih uporabljate za upravljanje vstopnih vrtljajev. Vendar se premalo uporablja, saj je večina državljanov avtobusom bolj priročno.

Podzemna železnica je enojna proga v obliki črke J, ki pokriva 12 km. Vlaki vozijo vsakih pet minut od 06:30 do 23:00: kazalniki perona štejejo od 00:00, ko je prejšnji vlak odpeljal. Zaradi neenakomerne pokrajine Erevana so postaje večinoma zelo globoke, včasih pa proga teče nadzemno. Kot pri drugih nekdanjih sovjetskih sistemih podzemne železnice so tudi postaje natančno okrašene, tako da mešajo armenske nacionalne motive s pozno-sovjetsko arhitekturo. Fotografiranje ni dovoljeno. Načrti za gradnjo dveh nadaljnjih črt (ki tvorijo trikotnik, kot je Budimpešta) doslej niso uspeli.

Podzemne postaje od severa proti jugu so:

• 40.19788944.4942331 Barekamutyun (tj. "Prijateljstvo"), Ave. maršala Baghramyana (za Nacionalni arhiv Armenije, Yerevan Expo).  
• 40.19169444.5059442 Maršal Baghramyan, Ave. maršala Baghramyana (za ameriško univerzo v Armeniji, veleposlaništvo Združenega kraljestva, park zaljubljencev, narodni zbor Armenije, predsedniško palačo).  
• 40.18694444.5211113 Yeritasardakan, Isahakyan St (za Abovian street, Armensko nacionalno akademsko gledališče Aleksander Spendiarian, Trg svobode (Azatutyan Hraparak), Komorna glasbena dvorana Komitas, Univerza za arhitekturo in gradnjo, Medicinska univerza).

• 40.15517544.5072366 Sasuntsi David (David iz Sasuna), Sevan St (za nakupovalni center Yerevan, železniška postaja Erevan).  
• 40.140544.49817 Gortsaranayin (Tovarna), Ulica Bagratuniats blizu križišča Arshakuniats Arshakuniats Ave (za kemično tovarno Nairit).  
• 40.145344.48498 Šengavit, 9. sv (za minibus do Charbakh).  
• 40.15144.48359 Garegin Nzhdeh (Trg Garegin Nzhdeh), Trg Garegin Nzhdeh, (za stadion Mika, Jerevansko jezero).  

Avtor marshrutka

Več kot sto poti maršrutk prečka mesto in potuje v predmestja in širše (na primer v Gruzijo ali Karabah). S 100 drami vožnje v Erevanu so ugodni. Maršrutke so pogosto prenatrpane in v času prometnih konic se lahko znajdete stoječi, sključeni brez sedeža. Številka poti je na vidnem mestu prikazana v oknu, skupaj z armenskim besedilom, ki navaja glavne znamenitosti in ulice poti. Opera (ՕՊԵՐԱ) je enostavno armensko besedo, ki jo je mogoče prepoznati na teh znakih, in je glavno križišče številnih linij. Ko želite izstopiti, morate reči »kangnek« ali »ijnokh ka«, da voznik sliši, ali pa samo izgovoriti »stop« v angleščini. Številke marshrutk so zapisane na avtobusnih postajah, spletna stran turističnih informacij pa ima celoten seznam destinacij. Plačajte, ko zapustite marshrutko.

• Prevoz za Armenijo (Načrtovalec potovanj). Izjemno spletno mesto za načrtovanje potovanj in nevladni projekt, ki ga prostovoljci vodijo za izboljšanje javnega prevoza tako za Erevan kot tudi za preostalo državo. Ker je ta storitev na voljo tudi v angleščini in ruščini, to spletno mesto ni primerno samo za domačine, temveč tudi za popotnike. Na voljo imajo tudi vse cene. FB. (posodobljeno november 2019)

Z avtobusom ali trolejbusom

Erevan ima tudi trolejbusne in redne avtobusne linije, ki jih vozi "Yergortrans". Cena vozovnice je zelo poceni (50 dramov za voziček in 100 dramov za običajni avtobus), vozila pa niso prenatrpana. Plačajte ob odhodu iz avtobusa.

Na blagajni Prevoz za Armenijo načrtovalec potovanja, kot je opisano zgoraj. Tudi obstaja Erevanske poti za iPhone, ki vam ne določa natančnega voznega reda, ima pa vse avtobusne, vozičke in maršrutke: app.

S taksijem

Obilno po mestu, taksi kjer koli v središču ne bi smel stati več kot 600-1000 dram. Skoraj vsi taksiji z imeni podjetij na straneh imajo števce, cene pa so navadno konkurenčne med taksi podjetji. Če želite na ulici označiti prazno, preprosto iztegnite roko in jo potisnite v zrak, če bodo proste, se bodo ustavili. Taksiji brez logotipa na strani ponavadi zaračunavajo več in morda skušajo tujcem izvleči več. Če se želite izogniti raztrganju, pokličite taksi velikega podjetja ali pa se odpravite do najsodobnejših, ki imajo običajno meter. Prepričajte se, da ga voznik vklopi, ko začnete, in ga vljudno opozorite, če je na to "pozabil". Če ima taksi števec in ga voznik ni vklopil, v večini primerov potnik ne more plačati potovanja. S seboj imejte nekaj kovancev, da voznikom preprečite, da bi vam sporočili, da na njih nimajo sprememb. Standardna cena je najmanj 500 dramov za prvih 5 km in 100 dramov za vsakih nadaljnjih km. Avto in voznika lahko enostavno najamete za enodnevni izlet izven Erevana že za 20 USD in več goriva.

Storitve vožnje gg in Yandex.Taxi (uradni partner Uberja v Rusiji in več sosednjih državah od leta 2018) ponujajo konkurenčne in poštene cene. gg ima v centru pavšalno ceno 600 dramov, vendar boste za registracijo potrebovali armensko ali gruzijsko kartico SIM. Lyft in Bolt nista na voljo.

Z avtom

Mogoče, a v glavnem nesmiselno - taksiji so tako poceni. Če pa najemate za stranske izlete na podeželje, vendar imate sedež v mestu, upoštevajte lokalne vozniške navade. Prebivalci niso agresivni (če ne štejete črnih Mercedesovih terencev z ruskimi tablicami - ti so naravnost nori), a tudi ne ustrežljivi. Mirno vas bodo odrezali ali prehiteli; na ovinke in menjavo voznega pasu se pripravite vnaprej. Policija je zelo temeljita; ves čas patruljirajo po središču, z utripajočimi lučmi, vendar brez siren, in naskočijo, ko opazijo kršitev (na primer prečkanje trdne črte). Zastoji nastanejo, ker vsi prihitejo na križišče na zeleni, nato se tam zataknejo, ko se luč zavije, nato pa promet čez križišče ponovi isto vajo. Parkiranje v centru je večinoma plačljivo (razen ponoči in vikenda), vendar ne posebej tesno; na parkirnih stolpcih so jasna navodila v angleščini, vendar si naredite uslugo in kupite tedensko vozovnico pri agenciji za najem - pri samo 1.000 dramih je to smešno barantanje (številka vaše tablice se nato vnese v bazo podatkov in merilnice preverijo proti njemu). Parkiranje ob robnikih je ponekod in ob določenih urah morda premijsko; Bližnji obrati nato poveljujejo del ceste spredaj in pol-uradni videz "asistent" v odsevnem telovniku vas lahko mahne na mesto, če vidi, da nameravate tam parkirati. Sprejmite ponudbo; plačilo storitev ni pričakovati, dokler ne odidete, nato pa se bo za kovanec za 100 dram odpravil v promet in ga ustavil, kar vam bo omogočilo varno varnostno kopiranje in vožnjo.

Cerkve

Cerkve v Erevanu so odprte od zgodnjega jutra do zelo poznega večera. Vstopnina ni nikoli zaračunana. Če vam uspe najti duhovnika, ga lahko prosite, naj vas blagoslovi in ​​kateri koli predmet (nenasilne uporabe), ki vam pripada (vključno s prijateljstvom in drugimi odnosi).

• 40.18436944.5189781 Katoghike (Cerkev svete Matere Božje Kathoghike, Սուրբ Աստվածածին Կաթողիկէ Եկեղեցի), vogal avenije Sayat-Nova in Abovian St (Podzemna železnica: Yeritasardakan 300 m). Najstarejša preživela cerkev v Erevanu. Gre za majhno zgradbo, zgrajeno v tipičnem armenskem slogu. Katoghike pomeni "katedrala"; razlog za neskladnost je v tem, da je današnja cerkev iz XIII. stoletja v celoti vključena v baziliko XVII. stoletja, vendar je bila ta porušena leta 1936. Leta 2015 so katolikosi posvetili veliko belo-roza Surp Cerkev Anna, ki je zdaj v bližini Katoghike.  
• 40.21504844.5719652 Cerkev Katoghike Tsiranavor v Avanu (Ավանի Սուրբ Աստվածածին Կաթողիկե Եկեղեցի, cerkev Katoghike Tsiranavor, kasneje preimenovana v Surp Hovhannes) (v okrožju Avan). To je najstarejša ohranjena cerkev v mestu, ki je bila dokončana v 6. stoletju.  
• 40.17194444.5166673 Katedrala sv. Gregorja Prosvetlitelja, Yervand Kochar St. (Metro: Zoravar Andranik). Dokončano leta 2001 v počastitev 1700-letnice Armenije kot krščanske države. Svete relikvije svetega Gregorja Armenskega je Vatikan leta 2001 Armenski cerkvi vrnil in postavil v to katedralo. Stavba je megalomansko pretiravanje tradicionalne armenske cerkvene arhitekture. V nasprotju z vsemi drugimi cerkvami v Erevanu (in Armeniji) je katedrala polna svetlobe in nima nobenega stojala za sveče. Svečnica je ločena zgradba v soseščini. Vendar je kompleks močno in vidno nedokončan.  
• 40.1769844.5021484 Katedrala svetega Sarkisa, Ulica Israyelyan (na meji mestnega središča, na slikoviti soteski reke Hrazdan, Metro: Yeritasardakan 2 km). Z mostu Zmage (ali zgradbe Tovarne žganja) je čudovit pogled na cerkev in okolico (zgradbe različnih odtenkov, zgrajene v neposredni bližini cerkve v času sovjetske prisilne sekularizacije). V cerkvi je vedno gneča. Običajno je tudi veliko mladih, saj je sv. Sargis (ali sv. Sergije v zahodnih cerkvah) zavetnik mladih in zaljubljencev.  
• 40.1867544.541255 St Astvatsatsin iz Norka (Cerkev svetega križa, Սուրբ Խաչ եկեղեցու), Upravno okrožje Nork-Marash (Նորք-Մարաշ), blizu izobraževalnega kompleksa Olimpos (Najprimernejši način za dosego cerkve je erevanska vzpenjača. Vzpenjača sama je posebno doživetje. Vendar cerkev ni tik ob postajališču vzpenjače, zato boste na koncu morda potrebovali pomoč domačinov. Vhod v vzpenjačo je na križišču ulic Nalbandian in Charents. Cerkev je v okrožju Nork v Jerevanu - spalni četrti bogatih.). To je kopija čudovite cerkve sv. Matere božje iz 18. stoletja (Sb Astvatsatsin v armenščini), uničene v sovjetskih letih prisilne sekularizacije. Zaradi nenadne smrti dobrotnika cerkveni kompleks ni bil nikoli dokončan.  
• 40.18526544.5036736 Cerkev sv. Janeza Krstnika (Cerkev sv. Hovhannesa), Ulica Saint Hovhanes (Jugozahod 500 m od podzemne železnice Baghramyan, blizu glavne pošte).  

Mejniki

• 40.14064744.5379497 Trdnjava Erebuni, Erebuni St. (Էրեբունի փող), 38 (Podzemna železnica: Sasuntsi David 2 km), ☏ 374 10 432661. Izkopavanja, rekreacije in muzej skoraj 3000 let stare trdnjave, ki je ustanovila Erevan. Dokaj dobro (in morda najbolje) ohranjena trdnjava urarskega obdobja v Armeniji. 1.000 dram.  
• 40.17752544.5125728 Trg republike (Armenščina: Հանրապետության Հրապարակ ruščina: Площадь Республики) (Metro: Trg republike). Glavni mestni trg je čudovit primer sovjetske javne arhitekture. Zgodnje stavbe (vladne hiše, ministrstvo za komunikacije in hotel Marriott) so neoklasicistične z armenskimi namigi. Poznejše stavbe (zunanje ministrstvo in umetniška galerija) so modernistične imitacije.
  Na trgu je Pojoči vodnjaki izvedite večino večerov od aprila do oktobra, plešite in penite ob klasični in sodobni glasbi. Oktobra 2018 je mesto objokovalo minevanje Charlesa Aznavourja z improviziranimi svetišči, slikami in zvočnimi posnetki tu in drugod: Pojoči fontani so na njegove najbolj znane melodije zaplesali skoraj enako, kot prej na Rossinijeve ali Sinatre. (posodobljeno oktober 2018)
• 40.18222244.5147229 Severna avenija (Podzemna železnica: Hanrapetutyan Hraparak (Trg republike)). Tega sprehajališča, ki ga je bilo nemogoče zamuditi, je bilo odprto leta 2008 in je povezalo Opera s Trgom republike, dvema vozliščema v osrednjem Erevanu. To je postmoderni odziv na sovjetsko jerevansko arhitekturo po drugi svetovni vojni. Nastaja kot nakupovalno okrožje, skupaj s avenijo Sayat-Nova, Terian st., Tumanian st. in Abovian st.  
• 40.185344.520710 Abovian street (Աբովյան Փողոց), Okrožje Kentron (Podzemna železnica: Yeritasardakan). V njem živi zelo malo preostalih struktur republikanske Armenije iz obdobja Belle Époque. Nekaj ​​draguljev secesije, zgodnje moderne (konstruktivistični in podobno) in mavrskega preporodnega sloga je mogoče najti na dvoriščih abovijskih, nabandijskih in harapetutijskih ulic. Najpogosteje so zaradi zanemarjanja v zelo slabem stanju. Hanrapetucijanska sv. boste morda deležni posebne pozornosti, če niste časovno omejeni. 
• 40.1853644.5152211 Trg svobode (ali gledališča). Na severni strani trga je operna hiša, sledi ji park poln kavarn na prostem, z juga meji na Severno avenijo, na vzhodu pa se trg počasi spreminja v park z Labodjim jezerom.  
• 40.182544.50972212 Mashtots avenija, Mashtots Ave (v središču). To je 8-pasovna avtocesta v mestu, ki nekako ob strani prilagaja tudi cone za pešce (rezultat standardnega sovjetskega načrtovanja glavnih "prospektov"). Zaradi gostega prometa (večinoma neorganiziranega javnega prevoza) je pretirano hrupno, toda deli v bližini Opere so priljubljeno mesto za druženje domačinov. Na aveniji so tri stavbe, ki so vredne pozornosti - Matenadaran, pokrita tržnica (notranjost je danes sodoben supermarket in nakupovalno središče, vendar je ohranjena izredno okrašena zunanja zunanjost) in Modra mošeja.  
• 40.1920744.5211313 Matenadaran. V njem je največja svetovna zbirka armenskih osvetljenih rokopisov in ena največjih tovrstnih zbirk na svetu. V razstavni sobi je vzorčenih nekaj najboljših del, dodatni stroški vodenega ogleda pa se splačajo. Stavba je vkopana v hrib in lahko prenese jedrski napad. Beli kamniti kip spredaj je Mesrop Mashtots, ki armensko abecedo, svoj izum, uči zanosnega učenca (Koryun, prvi armenski zgodovinar in biograf) in gleda navzdol na ulico s svojim imenom.  
• 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.

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. (posodobljeno april 2015)

If you would like to move along the timeline then start at the top of the building. 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. (posodobljeno maj 2018)

• Yerevan Birthday (Erebuni Yerevan). Yerevan's birthday is celebrated on the second Saturday of October. 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.

Spominki

• 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).

Valuta

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.

• 40.18319344.5160531 Tumanyan Khinkali, Tumanyan 21 (west of Abovyan) (next to Mer Tagh (above)). 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.

Pijte

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.

Kavarne

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.

Spi

Erevan je na splošno varnejši od mnogih zahodnoevropskih mest, kriminala in uličnega nasilja pa skorajda ni. Kljub temu pa se, tako kot v večini mest svoje velikosti, v prenatrpanih krajih in prometu pazite žeparjev.

Promet je lahko precej močan, zato bodite zelo pozorni pri prečkanju ulice, zlasti na neopredeljenem območju. Za jaywalking je treba plačati približno 3000 dramov.

Ostani zdrav

Kajenje morda se zdi, da je to nacionalna zabava in dejansko ima Armenija eno najvišjih stopenj kajenja v vsej Evropi. Da se izognete dimu, se držite restavracij s sedeži na prostem, dajte taksistu vedeti, da ne sme kaditi (ne bi smeli). Obstaja več dobrih možnosti za nekadilce, od katerih jih je veliko na voljo ta zemljevid krajev za nekadilce v Erevanu. Vlada je napovedala, da bo kajenje v restavracijah in kavarnah prepovedano novembra 2018, čeprav zakonodaja še vedno ni sprejeta.

Enostavni enodnevni izleti

Številne vrhunske znamenitosti Armenije se nahajajo blizu Erevana in so enostavni enodnevni izleti, čeprav boste potrebovali svoj prevoz za več:

• Garni, 15 km vzhodno od Erevana, ima helenistični tempelj in versko-kraljevski kompleks na vrhu kanjona.
• Na stran kanjona je vklesan samostan Geghard, oddaljen 5 km.
• Gozdni državni rezervat Khosrov je v gorah nad Geghardom. Več samostanov, jam in starodavne trdnjave Kakavaberd.
• Echmiadzin (zdaj se imenuje Vagharshapat), 15 km zahodno od Erevana, je Canterbury v Armeniji, s samostanom in katedralo. 3 km vzhodno so ruševine katedrale Zvartnots.
• Ashtarak 15 km severozahodno je nad sotesko Kasagh katedrala sv. Hovhannes Karapet.
• Artashat 20 km južno je samostan Khor Virap. Z avtobusom 452, 467, 468 se od Južne avtobusne postaje odpeljete do mesta Khor Virap; 300-400 dram.
• Armash, 60 km jugovzhodno, ima ribje lagune, ki so postale pomemben življenjski prostor ptic. Nasprotuje zaprtim mejam s Turčijo in Nakhčivanom, zato pričakujte uradni sum. Za vstop je obvezen osebni dokument s fotografijo.

Nadalje ven, primernejši za nočne izlete (na voljo je veliko izletov):

• Okoli gore Aragats sta grad in cerkev Amberd.
• Samostan Noravank, kanjon Noravank in vinska dežela Areni so oddaljeni 80 km jugovzhodno.
• Na severu okoli jezera Sevan so samostani Tsakhkadzor, Sevanavank in Hayravank, pokopališče Noratus Khachkar in Dilijan staro mestno jedro.
• Jermuk, Samostan Sisian in Tatev sta še naprej po cesti jugovzhodno.

Onkraj Armenije

• Artsakh ali Gorski Karabah je dejansko ločena republika, ki ni mednarodno priznana. Edini vhod in izhod je po cesti iz Armenije.
• Očitni naslednji cilj je Tbilisi. Na poti poskusite videti kanjon in samostane naokoli Alaverdi.
