During
the previous months we have managed to talk about different regions, towns and
villages in Armenia. However, we never had the chance to talk about the biggest
city and the capital of Armenia – Yerevan.
Yerevan
is the center of Armenia in all senses. It is the most developed, most
populated (34% of total population) and the busiest city in Armenia.
It
is a pride to mention that Yerevan is among the oldest continuously inhabited
cities in the world (since 800 BC). The remnants of old Yerevan (Erebuni) can
be found in Erebuni museum. Unfortunately few of the ancient buildings have
been preserved in the city center, which is today more like other European
cities with modern buildings.
The
center of Yerevan is the most “popular” part for tourists. Most of the hotels, museums, theaters, cafes, parks and other recreations are located there.
The
other parts of the city are not that developed. In some places even the roads
are not in good shape, and the contrast can easily be noticed. No doubt, Yerevan
is a unique city with its unique colors, unique air, sky, sun and unique faces.
It is surely one of the must-see places once you visit Armenia. It is the heart
of the country, the place where you can experience the unique part of Armenia.
In other words – Armenia is not Armenia without Yerevan.
