Arpi from Yerevan

About me Since you've reached this description, you might have guessed that I love traveling and writing. I'm also passionate about food. Food makes me happy. Why Yerevan Yerevan is all about its people, and similar to its people, Yerevan is full of contradictions, which makes it so unique... Where else can you find me online? Facebook

Prague Park Yerevan

Morning runs, night walks

""Prague Park" is a small park in Yerevan. It's a good place for sporty people -- I love to run here in the morning and chat with local elders..."

"Prague Park" is a small park located in Komitas street. If you have stopped nearby it's a nice place to walk around. There used to be a "Prague" hotel near the park and this is where its name comes from. This is a good place for sporty people, as you can run or have an evening walk here. In the mornings, you can observe older people doing exercises in groups, so you can join them, if you want. Also, it's a good playground for small children.  

During the summer season, I come here for running in the mornings and for walking in the evenings. I also love to sit and talk to local grandmas and grandpas about the good old Soviet days. If you are a Russian speaker, you can do that too. I also watch them play chess and Nardi (local board game).

Hraparak Metro

Soviet Gem

It truly is a Soviet masterpiece considering its unique design and build: it is part metro station, part cavern and, once upon a time, part cafe.

A 6000-year-old town in Yerevan!

"Shengavit" is an impressive 6000-year-old settlement which is preserved even better than Yerevan's old town! It was an accidental discovery in the 1930s.

Cross-stone Makers

Talking stones
