The majestic Republic Square will give you a taste of the youthful atmosphere so distinctive of this capital. The nearby Vernissage Flea Market is also a good place to learn about economy, art and traditional crafts in Armenia. Walking under the shadow of the trees, visitors can find locally made ceramics, carved wooden goods, khachkars (Armenian stone carved crosses), jewelry, carpets, lace pieces, paintings, books, food and much more. Strolling through bustling Northern Avenue will offer another opportunity to enjoy a beautiful pedestrian street where locals love to spend the weekend having fun with their friends and families. It’s a good place to spot the trendiest bars and best traditional restaurants, too! Walking along the historical center you will also find the Opera House and hear about the world-renowned National Ballet of Armenia.
