Jerevan - Yerevan

Jerevan (Armeens: Երեւան) is die hoofstad van die Republiek Armenië, een van die drie spilpunte van die Suid-Kaukasus en is die tuiste van meer as 'n miljoen mense - die grootste Armeense gemeenskap ter wêreld. In die Sowjet-jare het Jerevan massiewe rekonstruksie ondergaan, na aanleiding van die argitek Alexander Tamanyan om 'n 'perfekte stad' te maak - 'n Neo-klassieke stad met wye weë, wat lyk soos Parys, Wene en Saint Petersburg.

Sentraal-Jerevan is 'n ware juweel van vroeg Sowjet argitektuur. Dit is ook die tuiste van grootskaalse moderne en post-moderne wonderwerke wat meestal die resultaat is van die Sowjet-Armeense argitektoniese megalomania. In Sowjet-dae het Yerevan reeds bekend geword as die Pink City soveel as gevolg van die kleur van die tufaklip wat vir die bouwerk gebruik word, as vir die flambojante gees van haar jong bevolking.

Distrikte

Die meeste toeriste Jerevan is gekonsentreer in die middestad, wat baie kompak en maklik loopbaar is, met eindelose eet- en vermaakopsies. Die res van die stad is meestal slaap- of sakekwartiere, so 'n tipiese toeris sal nie veel aansporing hê om die sentrum te verlaat nie.

• Kentron, Sentrumstad, Middestad of Sentrum - is sentraal Yerevan, plaaslik bekend as Kentron of net Kaghak (wat 'die stad' beteken). Dit is die hart van Yerevan en inderdaad Armenië. Alhoewel Kentron se argitektuur uiteenlopend is, wat wissel van Belle Epoque tot Sowjetpaneelblokke, is die grootste deel van die sentrum volgens die Beaux-Arts-tradisie. Die middestad volg Tamanyan se plan vir 'n sirkelvormige stad met twee spilpunte - die Grand Republic Square, en die meer elegante en sagte Opera-distrik (Opera House, Freedom Square en die Swan Lake Park). Die twee word verbind met die Noordelike Laan wat pas vir voetgangers gebou is. Kentron is ook die tuiste van die Universiteitsstad, waar die kampusse van die Staatsuniversiteit, Mediese Universiteit, Ingenieurswese-universiteit, Landbou-universiteit, Ekonomie-universiteit, Pedagogiese en ander universiteite in een groot groep bymekaarkom. Feitlik al die museums, hotelle en gewilde eet- en drinkplekke is in Kentron, sodat die meeste besoekers waarskynlik nie veel daaraan sal waag nie.
• Barekamutyun - Wat beteken vriendskap, Barekamutyun is die gebied rondom die metrohalte met dieselfde naam. Hierdie sentrum is die tuiste van Hayastan Hanrakhanut (afdelingswinkel), wat meer 'n binnenshuise basaar is as 'n ware afdelingswinkel. Die middelpunt vertrek na Kievyan en nabygeleë Komitasstrate.
• Monument - Aan die bokant van die Cascade-trappe rus die groot monument vir die Sowjet-oorwinning in die Tweede Wêreldoorlog. Direk aangrensend is die Cafesjian Museum, met 'n groot versameling kontemporêre kuns, insluitend die beste glaskunsversameling ter wêreld. Buiten die monument is Victory Park, en die omgewing rondom staan ​​ook bekend as Monument.
• Erebuni - In hierdie distrik is die vestings van Erebuni, wat in 782 vC deur koning Argishti gestig is.
• Bangladesj - Moenie verwar word met die land in Asië nie! Nie veel om 'n toeris aan te bied nie, maar die naam is 'n verduideliking werd. Destyds was dit een van die verste nuwe distrikte wat in Yerevan gebou is, en as gevolg van die afstand het die inwoners dit vinnig Bangladesj begin noem, wat tot vandag toe vasgehou het. Die grootste buite-basaar van Jerevan is in hierdie distrik geleë.
• Nork ook nie distrik is die laaste Sowjet-projek vir residensiële uitbreiding van Jerevan. Dit bestaan ​​geheel en al uit gestandaardiseerde Sowjet-paneelblokke. Elke toeris steek egter hierdie distrik oor op pad na 'verpligte' Garni-tempel en Geghard-klooster (aangesien die snelweg na daardie rigting verbind is met die hoofweg van hierdie distrik). Die hoofattraksie in hierdie distrik is die standbeeld van Gay (of Hayk) Nahapet, die legendariese stigter van die land; hy word uitgebeeld as 'n gespierde halfnaakte man met 'n getrekte boog, maar die naam het niks met homoseksualiteit te doen nie (om hierdie interessante misverstand meestal te vermy, word die naam van die laan en standbeeld as Guy geromaniseer).

Verstaan

Alhoewel die geskiedenis van Jerevan uit die Erebuni-vesting dateer, wat dit minstens 2800 jaar oud maak, is daar nog min oorblyfsels van die klein nedersetting wat die opgrawings by die Hrazdan-rivierkloof, Erebuni, Karmir Berd en Avan red. Hierdie terreine is opgegrawe en die artefakte wat gevind word, is vandag in museums. Omdat Jerevan op 'n strategies belangrike plek was, was dit 'n konstante oorlogstadium vir die mededinger van die Ottomaanse, Persiese en Russiese ryk. Dit is herhaaldelik verwoes deur daardie oorloë of natuurrampe (bv. 'N aardbewing in die 17de eeu het die stad byna heeltemal vernietig). Min geboue van die ou Erivan het tot in die huidige Jerevan oorleef.

Ten tye van die onafhanklikheid van Armenië in 1918, toe Jerevan die hoofstad van 'n onafhanklike Armenië gemaak is, was Jerevan 'n stad van net 20.000. Grootskaalse konstruksie het begin, wat 'n meer holistiese benadering gevolg het onder die nuwe stadsplan wat deur Alexander Tamanyan opgestel is. Die plan behels die sloping van baie van die wat bestaan, ten gunste van konsentriese sirkels, parke en hoër strukture. Hy het beplan dat Jerevan 'n metropool van 200 000 mense sou word.

Mense

Yerevan is 'n baie etniese homogene stad, hoewel daar klein Yezidi- en Molokan (Russiese) minderhede bestaan. Omdat die bevolking 'n eeu gelede nog net 20 000 inwoners was, is die oorgrote meerderheid van die Armeense immigrante van regoor die wêreld. Van die dorpe en dorpe van Armenië, van Tbilisi, wat die middelpunt van die Oosterse Armeense kultuur was voor 1918, van Wes-Armenië as oorlewendes van volksmoord, en selfs uit die Midde-Ooste en Europa in 'n groot immigrasiegolf na die Tweede Wêreldoorlog. . Sedert onafhanklikheid het die stad die hart van die hele Armeense wêreld geword, aangesien die verdelende kommunistiese regerings se afsterwe die diaspora, wat groter is as die bevolking van Armenië self, die stad as sy eie kon omhels.

Godsdiens

Baie besoekers sal verbaas wees om te weet dat Armenië nie net 'n uitvloeisel van die Christendom is nie Kaukasus, maar dit is die eerste land ter wêreld wat die Christendom as staatsgodsdiens aanvaar. Die koning het die Christendom in 301 nC tot staatsgodsdiens verklaar. Die Christendom word sedertdien in sy eie tradisies ononderbroke beoefen.

Die Armeense Apostoliese Kerk, of net Apostoliese Kerk, is die Nasionale Kerk van Armenië. Dit is baie tradisioneel; in praktyke (maar nie geskiedenis nie) is soortgelyk aan Ortodokse en Katolieke bewegings, en aan die Gereformeerde Kerke, bv. die Church of England. Terselfdertyd het die Armeense Apostoliese Kerk opvallend verskillende praktyke, soos om diereoffers toe te laat of om op 6 Januarie saam met Theophany Kersfees te vier.

Die oorgrote meerderheid Armeniërs identifiseer hulself as Apostoliese Christene en het hul eie Catholicos (godsdienstige leier, soos die pous vir katolieke). Vandag gaan die oorgrote meerderheid Armeense nie elke Sondag kerk toe nie, met besoeke rondom troues en doop, of af en toe kom hulle kers opsteek. Sowjet-herstrukturering van die stad het Jerevan met baie min kerke gelaat: alhoewel daar sedert die onafhanklikheid baie nuwe geboue is, en die oue is gerehabiliteer.

Die Protestantse (Evangeliese) Armeense is redelik min en hulle het net een kerk in Nar-Dos-straat.

Anglikaans (Episcopal) Christene vergader in die (Armeense Apostoliese) Surb Zoravor kerk vir die Sondag Eucharistie.

Ortodokse Christene hou een kerk in die Kanaker-distrik van Jerevan. 'N Nuwe, grootskaalse, ortodokse ortodokse katedraal van die Heilige Kruis word in aanbou in die distrik Yerevan Lake, sigbaar vanaf die snelweg vanaf die lughawe. Dit sal egter meestal 'n simboliese struktuur hê, aangesien die Ortodokse Christene baie min is.

Yezidi ('n godsdienstige en etniese minderheid in Armenië) word religieuse rituele, soos die meeste van daardie godsdiens, geheim gehou, en dus kan hul praktyke nie deur buitestaanders nagekom word nie. Die grootste Yezidi-tempel ter wêreld word in aanbou in 'n dorpie buite Jerevan.

Moslems groei steeds in getalle sedert die ineenstorting van die Soviet Unie, aangevuur deur Iranse immigrasie. Daar is een moskee in Mashtotslaan.

Baie Christelike sektes is ook in Yerevan aanwesig, en hulle kom bymekaar in skole, sportklubs, konsertsale en dies meer.

Klimaat

Met 'n halfdroë klimaat ervaar Yerevan lang warm somers en koue sneeu-winters, albei met min neerslag. Die winter is nie 'n goeie tyd om Jerevan te besoek nie, as gevolg van ysige sypaadjies en rokerige restaurante, is enige ander tyd van die jaar 'n besoek werd. Die lente bied sagte maar soms nat weer, en baie groen heuwels en veldblomme. Die somer is baie warm, maar die lang, laat nagte by die kafees, en die vrugte en groente is ongelooflik. Die herfs is die gewildste, met perfekte weer, en wonderlike plaaslike vars kos.

Dit is die hoofpoort na Armenië, met direkte vlugte vanaf Athene, Beiroet, Berlyn, Dubai, Istanbul, Kiev, Minsk, Moskou, Parys, Praag, Katar, Riga, St Petersburg, Tbilisi, Teheran, Tel Aviv, Wene en Warskou. Geen binnelandse vlugte nie, aangesien die land te klein is.
  Die lughawe is klein, met relatief min vlugte, dus dit is eenvoudig om te navigeer. Gratis WiFi is beskikbaar in die vertrekterminal. By aankoms is daar 'n wisselkoers voor paspoortbeheer, en 'n ander in Arrivals: albei is 'n goeie waarde met slegs 'n spreiding van 3% tussen "koop" en "verkoop" vir die belangrikste geldeenhede, dieselfde as die middestadbeurse. Verskeie ordentlike kafees, kitsbanke, bank- en poskantore is almal beskikbaar op die 1ste en 2de verdieping van die lughawe. Daar is 'n toeriste-inligtingstoonbank en 'n aanraakskerminligtingstaander in Arrivals. (Oktober 2018 opgedateer)

Om daar / weg te kom:

• A pendelbussie het gereelde reise tussen die Zvartnots-lughawe en die Jerevan-sentrum. Busse ry elke halfuur 07: 00-22: 00 en elke uur 22: 30-07: 00. Die bushalte van die lughawe is voor die ingang van die terminale geleë. 'N Enkele kaartjie kos 300 dram. Die bus maak min stopplekke op pad waar passasiers kan aan- of afklim, bv. Frankrykplein, Pak Shuka en Yeritasardakan. Op pad terug na die lughawe is die stop by Yeritasardakan oorkant SAS-supermark of by Republic Square (in Abovyanstraat). Sien ook die amptenaar lughawe webwerf FAQ.
• A taxi kos 5 000 dram. Die amptelike verskaffer is 'Airport Services' (374 98 828200, 374 10 595900, 374 60 430000), en hulle het 'n besprekingstoonbank by Arrivals. Daar is ook mense wat u sal vra of u 'n taxi benodig wanneer u die terminale verlaat. Hulle bied dikwels 'n beter prys (ongeveer die helfte van die prys) aan as die amptelike taxi, aangesien hulle reeds 'n passasier afgelaai het en op soek is na moontlike tariewe - alhoewel u 'n bietjie verder sal moet stap om by hul taxi te kom. As hulle egter aan die einde iets meer wil vra as die ooreengekome prys, met 'n misverstand of iets anders, moet u die polisie absoluut weier en dreig om die polisie te skakel. Hulle aanvaar die ooreengekome prys. Kyk ook na die waarskuwing by # Met taxi's.
• gg en Yandex.Taxi (ritdiens-programme) bied mededingende en eerlike pryse, vanaf ongeveer 1 400 dram (Okt 2017).

Dit is 'n neoklassieke gebou, 'n klein weergawe van die Stalinistiese 'troukoek'-wolkekrabbers soos die Moskou-staatsuniversiteit, met 'n rooi ster wat uit sy spits blink. Die gebou, plein en standbeeld is indrukwekkend, maar met so min treine is die stasie dikwels spookagtig stil. Die stasie bevat die 'Museum of Railway Transport of Armenia'. (Oktober 2018 opgedateer)

Jerevan is die middelpunt van die klein Armenië binnelandse spoorstelsel, met dienste een keer per dag na Armavir (1 uur), Ararat (70 minute) en Gyumri (3 uur, plus 'n vinniger trein F-Su). Hierdie, plus die Tbilisi-trein, bedien ook tussenstasies soos Echmiadzin en Vanadzor, maar is selde 'n goeie manier om daarheen te kom. Passasierstreine na Sevan ry in die somer, maar Dilijan het nie tans treindienste nie. Sien die aanlyn rooster - roosters by stasies is slegs in Armeense skrif.

'N internasionaal oorslaap trein ry tussen Tbilisi en Jerevan, wat 11-12 uur neem - sien Tbilisi # Met die trein vir al die besonderhede.

Met die bus of marshrutka

Marshrutkas (oftewel 'n minibus of omskepte bestelbus) is die vernaamste vervoermiddel binne Armenië en internasionaal.

• 40.1724944.490673 Sentrale busstasie (Kilikia), Tsovakal Isakovi Ave, 6-gebou (2 km wes van die middestad op Admiral Isakov Ave. Neem vanaf die middestad bus 13 (vanaf Barekamutsun Metro), 23 (vanaf die treinstasie) of 15, 67 en 75 (vanaf Republic Square). 'N Taxi wat die meter gebruik, sou 500 dram wees.), ☏ 374 10 565370. Marshrutkas loop hiervandaan noord na Echmiadzin, Gyumri, Vanadzor en Tbilisi, oos na Stepanakert in Nagorno-Karabakh, en suidoos tot Sisian, Goris, Kapan en Meghri naby die grensoorgang na Iran. Plaaslike dienste is op die lughawe, die stad Zvartnots en Echmiadzin. (Oktober 2018 opgedateer)
• 40.23942244.5696044 Noordelike busstasie (Severny Avtovakzal) (5 km noord van die middestad op die pad na Sevan. Kom hier met bus 113 of 101 vanaf Komitas St., per bus 259 vanaf Mashtotslaan, per bus 261 vanaf Rossia Mall, per bus 46 vanaf die Mediese Universiteit (hoek van Abovyan- en Koryunstraat), of per taxi vir ~ 1 200 dram.). Noordelike dorpe soos Sevan en Dilijan word deur hierdie stasie bedien. Dit is nogal 'n uitweg, en as u Sevanvank en ander probeer bereik Sevan-meer kerke, is dit 'n verdere taxirit van Sevan af. Die stasiegebou is groot en leeg, 'n groot mausoleum vir die Sowjet-era (Oktober 2018 opgedateer)
• 40.198282844.56646365 Gai-busstasie, Gai Ave (3 km noordoos van die sentrum. Neem busse 22, 26, 36 of marshrutkas 9, 69, 73 vanaf die middestad.). Busse na Garni, Goght en Geghard hardloop hiervandaan. Dit is net 'n oop vierkant. (Oktober 2018 opgedateer)
• 40.1557544.506516 Suidelike busstasie (reg agter die treinstasie). Bedien bestemmings suid soos Khor Virap (bus 452, 467, 468 ... 300-400 dram), Artashat, Ararat en Vedi. (Augustus 2019 opgedateer)

Spesifieke bestemmings:

• Dilijan - Vanaf Dilijan om 08:00, 09:15, 11:00, 13:00 en 16:00.
• Tbilisi, Georgië - Sowat vyf of ses marshrutkas loop daagliks, neem 5-6 uur (via Vanadzor & Debed Canyon) en kos 6.500 dram of 35 lari. Hulle vertrek die oggend na 'n baie geskatte rooster en vertrek wanneer dit vol is of wanneer die bestuurder dit wil hê, met die laaste vertrek omstreeks 13:00. Verandering in Tbilisi vir bestemmings regoor Georgië, Turkye en (as u seker is van u welkom) Azerbeidjan - dit het geen direkte dienste meer na Jerevan nie.
• Iran - Daar is gereelde busse. U kan afgelaai word in Tabriz of Teheran. Kaartjies kan by Tatev Travel en ander plekke gekoop word.

Met die motor

Die gewone aanpak per pad is vanaf Tbilisi, Georgië. Volg snelweg 6/7 suid vir 'n uur na Sadakhlo / Bagratashen-grenspos, en hou dan aan op M6 en draai die pragtige Debed Canyon op (fantastiese staproetes en 'n fantastiese reeks kloosters, waarvan 'n paar UNESCO-wêrelderfenisgebiede is) tot by Vanadzor en dan oor die plato na Jerevan. Reckon 5 uur: die canyonpad word heeltemal herbou en verbreed. Dit is 'n baie beter pad na Alaverdi. (Net anderkant Bagratashen, vertak 'n ander pad oos, naby die grens met Azerbeidjan. Kry plaaslike advies voordat u hierdie pad probeer, want daar word soms geweer oor die grens gewissel.)

U kan ook tussen Georgië en Armenië by Gogavan / Guguti en Bavra / Ninotsminda ry: hierdie roetes is sonder probleme.

Die ander benadering kom van Iran, wat oorsteek by Nordooz / Agarak. Van daar af is dit ses uur se ry na Jerevan: interessante plekke langs die pad is Meghri, Kapan, Goris, en Sisian.

Dink nie eens daaraan om deur die land direk vanaf Turkye of van Azerbeidjan na Armenië te probeer oorsteek nie.

Kry rond

Op voet

Die middestad van Yerevan is kompak en maklik om te voet rond te kom. Hou egter u stap dop, want konstruksieterreine, slaggate en aggressiewe bestuurders is volop. Kruis die straat slegs op aangewese plekke en wees versigtig vir afgeleide of aggressiewe bestuurders wat nie die voetgangersreg gee nie.

Met die metro

Die metro stelsel in Jerevan is baie betroubaar en modern, en is in die vroeë 1980's gebou. Dit is die vinnigste weg in die stad, en op 100 dram, die goedkoopste behalwe om te loop. Kaartjies word nie uitgereik nie; u koop plastiekbewyse en gebruik dit om die toegangsdraai te gebruik. Maar dit word onderbenut, want die meeste burgers vind busse geriefliker.

Die metro is 'n enkele J-vormige lyn wat 12 km beslaan. Treine ry elke vyf minute van 06:30 tot 23:00: platformaanwysers tel op, vanaf 00:00 wanneer die vorige trein vertrek. Vanweë die ongelyke landskap van Jerevan is die stasies meestal baie diep, maar soms loop die lyn oorgrond. Soos met ander voormalige Sowjet-metro-stelsels, is stasies versierd versier, wat Armeense nasionale motiewe meng met die laat-Sowjet-argitektuur. Fotografie is nie toegelaat nie. Die planne om nog twee lyne te bou (soos 'n driehoek soos Boedapest), het tot dusver niks uitgemaak nie.

Die metro-stasies van noord na suid is:

• 40.19788944.4942331 Barekamutyun (dws "Vriendskap"), Maarskalk Baghramyan Ave (vir Nasionale Argief van Armenië, Yerevan Expo).  
• 40.19169444.5059442 Maarskalk Baghramyan, Maarskalk Baghramyan Ave (vir die Amerikaanse Universiteit van Armenië, die ambassade van die Verenigde Koninkryk, Lovers Park, die Nasionale Vergadering van Armenië, die Presidentepaleis).  
• 40.18694444.5211113 Yeritasardakan, Isahakyan St. (vir Abovian straat, Alexander Spendiarian Armeense Opera en Ballet Nasionale Akademiese Teater, Freedom Square (Azatutyan Hraparak), Komitas Kamermusiek Saal, Universiteit vir Argitektuur en Konstruksie, Mediese Universiteit).  
• 40.17851544.5156284 Hanrapetutyan Hraparak (Republiekplein), Republiekplein (vir Marriott-hotel in Armenië, Sentrale Bank, Erebuni Hotel, Regeringshuis, Geskiedenis Museum van Armenië, Nasionale Galery, Vernissage).  
• 40.171744.51335 Zoravar Andranik (Generaal Andranik), Tigran Mets Ave (vir Spartak (Armenië) Sportstadion, Ayrarat-mark, Luna Park, Saint Gregory-katedraal, Tashir Mall, landboubasaar en GOM-mark).

Deur marshrutka

Meer as honderd marshrutkasroetes kruis deur die stad en reis na die voorstede en verder (soos Georgië of Karabagh). Op 100 dram per rit in Yerevan is dit 'n winskopie. Die marshrutka's is dikwels oorvol, en u kan in die spitstyd staan, gebukkend sonder sitplek sit. Die roetenommer word prominent in die venster vertoon, saam met Armeense teks met die belangrikste bakens en strate van die roete. Die Opera (ՕՊԵՐԱ) is 'n maklike Armeense woord om op hierdie bordjies te herken, en is die hoofkruispunt van baie van die lyne. As u wil afklim, moet u 'kangnek' of 'ijnokh ka' sê vir die bestuurder om te hoor, of anders sê 'stop' in Engels. Die getalle van die marshrutkas word wel op die busstasies geskryf en op die webblad van die toeriste-inligting word die volledige lys met bestemmings aangedui. Betaal as u 'n marshrutka verlaat.

• Vervoer vir Armenië (Reisbeplanner). 'N Verbasende reisbeplanner-webwerf en nie-regeringsprojek wat deur vrywilligers bestuur word om openbare vervoer te verbeter, beide vir Jerevan sowel as die res van die land. Aangesien hierdie diens ook in Engels en Russies beskikbaar is, is hierdie webwerf nie net ideaal vir plaaslike inwoners nie, maar ook reisigers. Hulle het ook al die pryse beskikbaar. FB.

Met die bus of trolliebus

Jerevan het ook trollie- en gewone buslyne wat deur "Yergortrans" bestuur word. Die tarief is baie goedkoop (50 dram vir trollie en 100 dram vir gewone busse) en die voertuie is nie te druk nie. Betaal as u 'n bus verlaat.

Checkout die Vervoer vir Armenië reisbeplanner, soos hierbo beskryf. Daar is ook Yerevan-roetes vir iPhone, wat u nie die presiese busskedule gee nie, maar al die bus-, trollie- en marshrutka-roetes het: app.

Met die taxi

'N Taxi oral in die sentrum is volop in die stad en kos nie meer as 600-1,000 dram nie. Byna alle taxi's met ondernemingsname aan die kante het meters, en pryse is geneig om mededingend te wees onder taxibedryf. Om 'n leë een op straat te vlag, hou net u arm uit en klop u hand in die lug. As hulle vry is, stop hulle. Huurmotors sonder 'n logo aan die kant is meer, en probeer om meer uit buitelanders te kry. Skakel 'n taxi van 'n groot onderneming, of gaan na die modernste motors wat gewoonlik 'n meter het, om te verhoed dat u weggeruk word. Sorg dat die bestuurder dit aanskakel as u begin, en herinner hom beleefd daaraan as hy dit "vergeet" het. As die taxi 'n meter het en die bestuurder dit nie aangeskakel het nie, kan passasier in die meeste gevalle nie vir die rit betaal nie. Dra 'n paar munte om te voorkom dat die bestuurders u vertel dat daar geen verandering aan is nie. Die standaardprys is 'n minimum van 500 dram vir die eerste 5 km en 100 dram vir elke verdere km. 'N Motor en bestuurder kan maklik gehuur word vir 'n daguitstappie buite Jerevan, teen US $ 20 plus brandstof.

Die ritdienste gg en Yandex.Taxi (die amptelike vennoot van Uber in Rusland en verskeie buurlande sedert 2018) bied mededingende en eerlike pryse. gg het 'n vaste tarief van 600 dram in die sentrum, maar u benodig 'n Armeense of Georgiese SIM-kaart om te registreer. Lyft en Bolt is nie beskikbaar nie.

Met die motor

Moontlik, maar grotendeels nutteloos - taxi's is so goedkoop. As u egter huurvliegtuie na die platteland huur, maar in die stad is, neem kennis van die plaaslike bestuursgewoontes. Die inwoners is nie aggressief nie (as u nie swart Mercedes-sportnutsvoertuie met Russiese bordjies tel nie - dit is heeltemal mal), maar ook nie tegemoetkomend nie. U sal kalm afgesny of verbygesteek word; berei u vooraf voor vir draaie en baanveranderings voor. Die polisie is baie deeglik; hulle patrolleer die sentrum voortdurend, met flikkerende ligte, maar geen sirenes nie, en slaan toe as hulle 'n oortreding sien (soos om 'n vaste lyn oor te steek). Verkeersopeenhopings kom voor omdat almal op die groen kruising na die kruising jaag, dan daar vassteek as die lig draai, en dan herhaal die dwarsverkeer dieselfde oefening. Parkeer in die sentrum word meestal betaal (behalwe nagte en naweke), maar nie besonder streng nie; daar is duidelike instruksies in Engels op die parkeerkolomme, maar doen jouself 'n guns en koop 'n weekkaartjie by die huuragentskap - teen slegs 1 000 dram, is dit 'n belaglike winskopie (jou nommer word dan in die databasis ingevoer en die metermeisies gaan na daarteen). Op sommige plekke en op sekere tye kan die parkeerplek aan die voorkant 'n premie hê; nabygeleë ondernemings gee dan 'n gedeelte van die pad vooraan op, en 'n semi-amptelike "assistent" in 'n weerkaatsende baadjie kan jou na 'n plek laat waai as hy sien dat jy van plan is om daar te parkeer. Aanvaar die aanbod; die betaling vir die dienste word nie verwag voordat u vertrek nie, en dan sal hy die 100 dram-muntstuk die verkeer aandurf en dit stop, sodat u veilig kan rugsteun en wegry.

Kerke

Kerke in Jerevan is van vroegoggend tot baie laat aand oop. Daar is nooit toegangsgeld gehef nie. As u daarin slaag om die priester te vind, kan u hom vra om u te seën en enige voorwerp (van nie-gewelddadige gebruik) wat aan u behoort (insluitend vriendskap en ander verhoudings).

• 40.18436944.5189781 Katoghike (Holy Mother of God Kathoghike Church, Սուրբ Աստվածածին Կաթողիկէ Եկեղեցի), hoek van Sayat-Nova Ave. en Abovian St. (Metro: Yeritasardakan 300 m). Die oudste kerk van Jerevan wat nog oorleef het. Dit is 'n klein struktuur wat in tipiese Armeense styl gebou is. Katoghike beteken "katedraal"; die rede vir die ongerymdheid is dat die hedendaagse kerk, wat dateer uit die XIII-eeu, geheel en al opgeneem is in die XVII-eeuse basiliek - maar dat die kerk in 1936 afgetrek is. In 2015 het die Katolieke die groot wit-en-pienk Surp ingewy. Anna-kerk wat nou aangrensend is aan Katoghike.  
• 40.21504844.5719652 Katoghike Tsiranavor Kerk van Avan (Ավանի Սուրբ Աստվածածին Կաթողիկե Եկեղեցի, Katoghike Tsiranavor kerk, later herdoop tot Surp Hovhannes) (in die distrik Avan). Dit is die stad se oudste kerk wat nog oorleef het, wat in die 6de eeu voltooi is.  
• 40.17194444.5166673 St Gregory die Illuminator-katedraal, Yervand Kochar St. (Metro: Zoravar Andranik). Voltooi in 2001 ter herdenking van die 1700-jarige bestaan ​​van Armenië as 'n Christelike nasie. Die heilige oorblyfsels van Sint Gregorius, die Armeense, is in 2001 deur die Vatikaan aan die Armeense kerk teruggegee en in hierdie katedraal geplaas. Die gebou is 'n megalomaniese oordrywing van die tradisionele Armeense kerkargitektuur. In teenstelling met alle ander kerke in Yerevan (en Armenië) is die katedraal vol lig en is daar geen kandelaarstand nie. Die kandelaarhuis is 'n aparte struktuur langsaan. Die kompleks is egter groot en sigbaar onvoltooid.  
• 40.1769844.5021484 Saint Sarkis-katedraal, Israyelyan straat (aan die grens van die middestad, aan 'n skilderagtige kloof van die Hrazdan-rivier, Metro: Yeritasardakan 2 km). Vanaf die Victory Bridge (of alternatiewelik die Brandy Factory-gebou) is daar 'n pragtige uitsig op die kerk en omgewing (strukture van verskillende skakerings wat in die onmiddellike nabyheid van die kerk tydens die Sowjetjare van gedwonge sekularisering gebou is). Die kerk is altyd stampvol. Gewoonlik is daar ook baie jongmense, want St Sargis (of St Sergius in Westerse kerke) is die beskermheilige van jongmense en van minnaars.  
• 40.1867544.541255 St Astvatsatsin van Nork (Holy Cross Church, Սուրբ Խաչ եկեղեցու), Nork-Marash (Նորք-Մարաշ) administratiewe distrik, naby Olimpos Opvoedkundige Kompleks (Die Jerevan-kabelbaan is die maklikste manier om die kerk te bereik. Die kabelbaan self is 'n besonderse ervaring. Die kerk is egter nie direk langs die kabelbaanstop nie, en u sal moontlik hulp aan die inwoners benodig. Die ingang van die kabelbaan is by die kruispad van Nalbandian- en Charentsstraat. Die kerk is in die Nork-distrik van Jerevan - die slapende kwart van rykes.). Dit is die replika van 'n pragtige 18de-eeuse St Holy Mother of God (Sb Astvatsatsin in Armeense) kerk wat tydens die Sowjetjare van gedwonge sekularisasie vernietig is. Vanweë die skielike dood van die weldoener is die kerkkompleks nooit voltooi nie.  
• 40.18526544.5036736 St John The Baptist Church (St Hovhannes Kerk), Saint Hovhanesstraat (Suidwes 500 m vanaf Metro Marshal Baghramyan, naby die hoofposkantoor).

• 40.14064744.5379497 Erebuni-vesting, Erebuni St. (Էրեբունի փող), 38 (Metro: Sasuntsi David 2 km), ☏ 374 10 432661. Die opgrawings, ontspanning en museum van die byna 3000 jaar oue vesting wat Jerevan gevestig het. Redelik goed (en miskien die bes bewaarde) vesting van die Urartiese tydperk in Armenië. 1 000 dram.  
• 40.17752544.5125728 Republiekplein (Armeens: Հանրապետության Հրապարակ Russies: Площадь Республики) (Metro: Republiekplein). Die stad se hoofplein is 'n uitstekende voorbeeld van die Sowjet-openbare argitektuur. Die vroeë geboue (die regeringshuise, die ministerie van kommunikasie en die Marriott-hotel) is neoklassiek met Armeense wenke. Die latere geboue (die ministerie van buitelandse sake en kunsgalery) is modernistiese nabootsings.
  Binne die vierkant is die Singende fonteine voer die meeste aande April-Oktober uit, dans en skuim na klassieke en kontemporêre musiek. In Oktober 2018 betreur die stad die heengaan van Charles Aznavour met geïmproviseerde heiligdomme, beelde en klankspore hier en elders: die Singing Fountains het omtrent dieselfde gedans op sy bekendste wysies as wat hulle vroeër op Rossini's of Sinatra's gedoen het. (Oktober 2018 opgedateer)
• 40.18222244.5147229 Noordelike Laan (Metro: Hanrapetutyan Hraparak (Republiekplein)). Dit is onmoontlik om te mis, en hierdie voetgangerlaan is in 2008 geopen en verbind Opera met Republic Square, die twee spilpunte in die middestad van Jerevan. Dit is 'n post-moderne reaksie op die Sowjet-Jerevan-argitektuur na die Tweede Wêreldoorlog. Dit kom na vore as die winkelgebied, saam met Sayat-Nova ave., Terian st., Tumanian st. en Aboviaanse st.  
• 40.185344.520710 Aboviese straat (Աբովյան Փողոց), Distrik Kentron (Metro: Yeritasardakan). Dit is die tuiste van baie min oorblywende strukture van die Belle Époque-periode van Republikeinse Armenië. Sommige juwele van Art Nouveau, vroegmoderne (konstruktivistiese en soortgelyke) en Moorse herlewingstyl kan gevind word in die agterplase van Aboviaanse, Nalbandiaanse en Hanrapetutiese strate. Hulle is meestal in 'n baie slegte toestand as gevolg van verwaarlosing. Hanrapetutian St. kan 'n spesiale aandag kry as u nie tyd beperk nie. 
• 40.1853644.5152211 Vryheidsplein (of teater). Aan die noordekant van die plein is die Opera House, gevolg deur 'n park vol opelugkafees aan die oostkant, vanaf die suide grens dit aan die Noordelike Laan, en aan die oostekant verander die plein stadig in 'n park met Swan Lake.  
• 40.182544.50972212 Mashtots-laan, Mashtots Ave (in die sentrum). Dit is die 8-baan-snelweg van die stad wat op die een of ander manier ook voetgangersones aan die kante huisves (gevolg van die standaard Sowjet-beplanning van hoofprospekte). Dit is te lawaaierig vanweë die druk verkeer (meestal ongeorganiseerde openbare vervoer), maar die dele naby The Opera is 'n gunsteling kuierplek vir die plaaslike bevolking. There are three buildings on the avenue which are well worth attention - Matenadaran, the covered market (the interior is now a modern supermarket and mall, but the highly-decorated original exterior survives) and Blue Mosque.  
• 40.1920744.5211313 Matenadaran. Houses the world's largest collection of Armenian illuminated manuscripts, and one of the largest such collections of any kind in the world. A display room has a sampling of some of the finest works, and the additional cost of the guided tour is worthwhile. The building is dug into the hill and can withstand a nuclear attack. The white stone statue in front is of Mesrop Mashtots, teaching the Armenian alphabet, his invention, to a rapt disciple (Koryun, Armenia's first historian and biographer), and looking down at the street of his name.  
• 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 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. (April 2015 opgedateer)

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.

• Golden Apricot. A fairly well-established international film festival, usually held in July. Armenians take pride in it.

Reisroetes

Most of the sights in Yerevan are concentrated in the centre, which is very walkable. Spending a few days visiting the major sights should be enough time, and try to get in a trip to Vernissage flea market on the weekend. Also there are number of day trips can be done from Yerevan.

Diaspora Armenians may obtain a residency permit to live and work in Armenia without a problem. 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!

Geldeenheid

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.

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 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.

Drink

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.

• 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.

Cafés

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.

• 40.17480844.5122713 Mirzoyan Library, 10 Mher Mkrtchyan (Petros Adamyan) (Hard to spot inside the courtyard at 10 Mkrtchyan/Adamyan).

Bly veilig

Jerevan is oor die algemeen veiliger as baie Wes-Europese stede, en misdaad en straatgeweld bestaan ​​amper nie. Nietemin, soos in die meeste stede van sy grootte, op druk plekke en vervoer pasop vir sakkerollers.

Die verkeer kan taai wees, dus let op as u die straat oorsteek, veral in nie-aangewese gebiede. Daar is ongeveer 3 000 dram-boetes om te loop.

Bly gesond

Rook kan die nasionale tydverdryf blyk te wees, en inderdaad het Armenië een van die hoogste rookgeld in die hele Europa. Om rook te vermy, hou u by restaurante met sitplek buite, laat u taxibestuurder weet dat dit nie reg is om te rook nie (dit is nie veronderstel om dit te doen nie). Daar is 'n aantal goeie nie-rook-opsies, waarvan baie op hierdie kaart van rookvrye plekke in Jerevan. Die regering het aangekondig dat rook in restaurante en kafees vanaf November 2018 verbied sal word, hoewel wetgewing nog nie aanvaar is nie.
