Vernissage

Vernissage is Yerevan’s well-known open-air market for Armenian art, crafts, souvenirs, and antiques, held near Republic Square. Visitors come to browse paintings, woodcarvings, ceramics, carpets, jewelry, and Soviet-era collectibles, often sold directly by local makers and dealers. It is a convenient place to get a sense of Armenia’s artistic traditions and everyday culture in one stop. Even if you are not shopping, the market offers a lively atmosphere and good people-watching, especially on weekends when the selection is usually widest.
