[Vernissage Market | Yerevan "Walking through the open-air gallery, Armenian handicrafts"]

[Vernissage Market | Yerevan "Walking through an open-air gallery, Armenian handicrafts"] — A stroll through a market filled with tradition and stories, savored under natural light — This open market stretches for several hundred meters along Aram Buzand Street near Republic Square in the center of Yerevan, and began as a place where artists gathered in the 1980s. Now, with a wide variety of items such as paintings, carpets, accessories, antiques, and folk crafts, it is a treasure trove of art that is fun to walk through . ⸻ 📍 [Location & Atmosphere] - Right next to the Republic Square subway station! A 350-600m outdoor gallery walk connecting Hanrapetutyun and Khanjyan Streets . - Although the roof is only partial, the view of the light shining on a sunny afternoon is like an outdoor art museum. 📅 [Business hours] - Open every day from 10am to 6pm. ・The number of stalls increases especially on weekends and Sundays, making it the most lively place! Weekdays are perfect for a leisurely stroll. ⸻ ✨Recommended points • A wide variety of handmade crafts by local artisans: hand-woven carpets, wooden chess, mini Lakhachkar stone monuments, dyed and woven scarves, silverwork, etc. • Soviet-era treasures are also found here and there: old radios, cameras, medals, vintage tableware, etc. • Artworks and paintings are in a separate area. Even under the blue sky, it has a museum-like atmosphere! • Price negotiations are OK! It's also fun to talk to the shop staff, and the charm is that you can hear about the culture and stories. ⸻ 🎒Tips and advice • There is a wide range of items, from small items to carpets, so check your budget and suitcase capacity in advance. • Negotiate politely. Ask with a smile, "Can I get a little discount?" to have fun and save money♪ • Cash is recommended. For expensive items, ask for a certificate or quality check! • If you get tired of walking, we recommend taking a break at Republic Square or a nearby cafe while looking at the artwork you bought. #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Armenia #Yerevan
