The Yerevan Vernissage is an open-air exhibition-market functioning on the weekends. It was formed during the 1980s by Armenian artists who started to display their art works in the square next to the Artists' Union of Armenia (the current Charles Aznavour Square). Others have used the park next to Komitas State Conservatory to show their works. Later, the Vernissage was moved to Martiros Saryan garden in front of the Opera House. The exhibition-market was gradually enlarged and finally moved to Aram and Buzand streets, starting with the Republic square metro station and ending up with the statue of Vardan Mamikonyan. However, painters are still using the Saryan park to show their painting works. It's particularly full of many different products on Saturdays and Sundays. In addition to carved wood and art works, traditional carpets, old collections of coins and medallions, books, jewellery, musical instruments, electronics and even pets are found in the market.

I was so happy to find this Clean Open Market so close to Republican Square , end of the Hatch Kar Park and almost across from Tufenkian Hotel. Open 7 days a week but Sat and Sunday you see much more Vendors. Opens around 9:00 am . A must to see at least twice on your trip. Book Vendors on the week ends and just more to look at. Hundreds of Vendors and everyone is so nice. Almost 90% Hand Crafted in Armenia . There is Paintings Carpets Dolls Wood Craved items chess boards Tavloo boards boxes hand made doilies embroidery hats T shirts lots of beautiful Jewelry--Antiques Glass ware etc etc so much to list. Also try the fresh Lahmajun( Armenian Pizza) they make there a small cafe in the open air market with the Armenian beer! You'll go back and always remember! This is a Great way to support small business and help inspire the community . A must to see .

One of the bests craft markets I’ve ever been to! It’s huge and worth taking some time to fully explore but it was a delight for all the stalls to be selling actual nice products - no sense of mass produced tat here! There’s such a wide range of items on offer with everything seeming to be of high quality. No pushy sellers either so you feel free to look around at your leisure. With the surrounding well-kept park it’s a great area and I’d recommend anyone visit when in the city.

Nardi is an old armenia game, our grand grand grandpa love to play that game. I was looking for a new set to introduce that very interesting game to my son. I found it at the boot named "Handle". They have a lovely models. Also they have different other products made from wood. However, if you are a tourist I will suggest to go with local or you will end overpaid. Also if going to by silver or gold or any stones you need to check those, to many fakes and liers.

Love this place. I was worried I'll see "made in china" products (like most tourist markets) but this market frequented by locals and tourists retained the local flavor a lot. I was able to meet and buy from the maker of a silk scarf painter, an old lady who put together some very unique magnets, and an artist who's painting moved my emotions. My suggestion, go through each stall, experience it one at a time and fins your treasure. Needs minimum 2 hours.

Wonderful market, but closes by 6 pm. You can bargain here. One of the best market for lafiel accessories. Wooden handicraft items, paintings are too good. Range of souvenirs for you and your friends. Also enjoy coffee and tea in cafe. The park, fountain and monuments add beauty to the market. People here are honest, but while bargaining only 500 AMD may be discounted. One of the most enjoyable place for shopping.
