YEREVAN, ARMENIA is so much more than just another capital. Most people only know 1 or 2 things about Armenia, and neither are very useful in understanding what it’s actually like to spend time in the city today.
I enjoyed Yerevan so much that I actually ended up extending my stay. Between the incredible people, the art, the culture, and the food, there was so much for me to consistently be entertained.
The country has faced a great deal of adversity over the years, most notably through the Armenian Genocide. But the best part of my visit was seeing how the people are so hospitable to foreigners, even despite everything that they’ve gone through in the past. It was super inspiring and made me love the city even more.

You watched my video, and I don't take it for granted! Thank you! The algorithm really loves when people watch more than one video. Would you watch another? Here, I'll make it easy for you by suggesting some of my favorites… (Also be sure to subscribe, several more videos from the Caucasus coming soon!!)

Every single aspect of Armenia is beautiful: people, generosity, culture, architecture, infrastructure, music and arts, museums, churches, weather and scenery, food, wine, brandy, nightlife, parks, mountains, lakes, villages, cleanliness, abundance, etc. There isn’t one single thing that isn’t nice. Really.
I enjoy your travel videos, but, 24 hours into my visit to Yerevan, I profoundly disagree with you about the people of Armenia. I've been to nearly 50 countries and my first impression is that this might be the least friendly country I've visited. And it's not even close. (And I found France warm and welcoming and many people I know disagree with me on that.) Maybe the people of Georgia spoiled me with their incredible, over-the-top warmth and welcoming attitude. But the Armenian people (in Yerevan at least) are grumpy and cold and unwelcoming. This is a city without "good mornings," without smiles, and without any efforts at making anyone feel welcome. Yerevan is the anti-Tbilisi. Your experience, obviously, was quite different. QUITE different. And I'm glad for you that it was. The city of Yerevan is beautiful, however.
Truly a great video
Iove from México to Armenia
Please be informed that there is both bus and plane to get from Tbilisi to Yerevan. ))
Her zaman Ağrı Dağı'na bakacak ama asla sahip olamayacaksınız

Bende oradan yeni geldim ilk defa gittim çok beğendim.video için teşekkürler
The name of the minivan company, pls? (From tbilisi to yerevan)
❤❤❤
Thank you for this short but very informative video. Armenia is a unique country with its ups and downs with their neighboring countries. We love the people, the food, and of course, the beautiful historic churches all around ❤💙💛
Im Armanian Yerevan is not worth leaving Yerevan is so beautiful im shocked of you managed to fit ALL of this information in a short amount of time
Many things this guy tells are not true. Yes, there are trains from Tblisi to Yereven, every two days. I took it two times. All this is child talk. He said he stayed obe week in Armenia or in Yerevan. He is kidding, in one week you cannot know anything. But he made a video. Modern times…
❤💙🧡
The capital is nice but too expensive to live for most locals especially people from provinces. Provinces however are more beautiful and the air, water quality is better, people are also friendlier in provinces.
Ставьте лайки и комментарии под любым видео, связанным с Арменией. Под любым (созданным армянином, русским, греком и т. д.). Главное, чтобы оно (видео) было положительным для Армении. Этим мы все вместе будем способствовать продвижению Армении как бренда! Спасибо! Большая просьба к вам, дорогие мои соотечественники, оставляйте, пожалуйста, негативные (плохие, провокационные) комментарии в адрес Армении и армян без внимания. Ответа достоин только равный! Спасибо автору за работу!
Nice video ,we are in yerevan now.we just got out of iran and the two countries couldn't be more different. I love yerevan.
Welcome to our country! We are glad to see people from all over the world.
A great insight into a country so often misunderstood. I'm on my way!!!!!!
We South Asian and Persian Muslims love this country for its friendships with us. 🇦🇿 supports Israel and you guys support palestine.
I love Armenia 🇦🇲 ❤️
A safe country for families and Christians. The main reason is that there are few illegal immigrants from third world countries.
What an AMAZING video!!As a diasporean armenian I MUST say you showed our country in a smart, and engaging way. Ild like to subtitle it to Brazilian Portuguese and showcase in Brazilian TV, seeking for your consent. Too bad I did not see this before you came to Sao Paulo !
Don't talk rubbish, I've just arrived at Yerevan by overnight sleeper train
Botero in Yerevan? I've got to get there.
Huh? I served in the Peace Corps in Armenia 🇦🇲! I took the night train, from Tbilisi to Yerevan. It takes 10 hr 35 min and arrives in Yerevan very early. So, make sure you can drop off your luggage, before check in, at wherever you’re staying, and then go get breakfast! Note: the train station is very near the metro station. There’s an underground tunnel to get you from one to the other. You’ll probably need some Armenia money for the fare, to Republic Square, as you’ll need to buy a token. There are taxis outside of the train station. You can also use UBER or a local ride share app. It’s a 40 minute walk from the front of the train station to Republic Square.
DNA results didn’t show that the Kardashians are Armenian
