TOURINFO-YEREVAN- Suitcase Magazine (January 2020) in an article by Olivia Morelli, suggested seven cities to visit in 2020. Yerevan is the first city suggested by the author to visit. The other six are Galway (Ireland), Salzburg (Austria), Portland (Oregon, USA), Arles (France), Tangier (Morocco) and Maastricht (Netherlands). 
Inhabited since the eighth century BCE, Armenia’s capital is brimming with a rich history and vibrant culture. Stroll through the city and you’ll encounter a mish-mash of architectural styles. Enter traditional pandoks (taverns) where locals play backgammon or pass through dalan archways that lead to courtyards lined by whimsical wooden balconies and quaint churches – between these historic relics lie Soviet-era buildings and modern structures. Spend days learning about Yerevan’s history at the Armenian Genocide Museum, where you can read about the massacre of Armenians under Ottoman rule, or get a culture-fix at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts. Later, saunter along tree-filled boulevards to find local fruit and vegetable markets or sip soorch (Armenian-style coffee) by the musical fountains in Republic Square.
SUITCASE Magazine (a quarterly print magazine) based in the United Kingdom, aims to inspire, helping people to discover different destinations, cultures, and acts as a bridge between cultures around the world.
