🏛️To Yerevan, the unknown jewel of Europe🌄A city full of history and cafe culture🇦🇲✨

Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, is a city that awakens the sensibilities of travelers, unlike the famous tourist destinations in Europe. It is a hidden gem known only to those in the know, where history dating back to the prehistoric era, modern, stylish cafes, and kind people coexist. ⸻ 🏛️1. The magnificent cityscape of Yerevan as seen from the Cascade Complex Yerevan's landmark, the Cascade Complex, is a mysterious space where a large staircase and art are fused together. If you climb to the top, you will be greeted by a spectacular view of the city and Mount Ararat (the sacred mountain of the Armenians) towering above it! 📷Photo spot: The contrast of the modern sculpture halfway up the stairs and Mount Ararat ⏰Recommended time: The lighting from dusk to night is also fantastic✨ ☕2. The cafe culture is hot! A "cafe town" that rivals Europe Yerevan's cafes offer a wide range of coffee, from hand-dripped to traditional Armenian coffee, and the design is super stylish! The ultimate luxury is to relax in a space where new and old mix, where nomad workers and young artists gather. 🍰Recommended: Pomegranate cake, local sweets made with dried fruits 📍Popular areas: Along Northern Avenue, around Tumanyan Street 🧿3. Time to touch the "soul" of Armenia, where faith and scenery overlap Two holy sites that can be reached from Yerevan on a day trip, Khor Virap Monastery and Echmiadzin Cathedral, are not just tourist spots. Each of them conveys the deep history and spirit of Armenia, and is a place that you can truly "feel with your heart". ⛪ Khor Virap Monastery The monastery, standing with the snow-capped Mount Ararat in the background, is moving in a way that cannot be conveyed in a photograph. This is an important place where Armenia adopted Christianity as its state religion. If you go down into the dungeon, you will be able to feel the strength of the faith that has continued for 2000 years. 📸Recommended: Visit at sunrise, as Mount Ararat looks divine and is a spectacular sight! ⛪ Echmiadzin Cathedral This place, said to be the oldest Christian cathedral in the world, is the perfect word to describe it. A powerful energy of prayer flows through the silence, enveloping visitors. You can also see holy relics and historical ornaments at the museum on the premises. 👣Both can be visited from Yerevan in half a day. 🚗We recommend taking a taxi or taking a tour to get around efficiently. If there is a part of Europe you have not yet visited, it may be Yerevan. This city, where old and new overlap, is a place that captivates even the most experienced travelers 🇦🇲🧳 #Armenia #Yerevan #Cascade Complex #Khor Virap Monastery #Echmiadzin Cathedral #Eastern Europe Travel #trip
