The market will be open right up to around after Armenian Christmas which falls on the 6th of January.

Check out the stalls and celebrate your end of year at a classic European style Christmas market with an Armenian twist.

The sellers have a whole plethora of goodies and treats to tickle your fancy.

Get some warm gluhwein and have a boozy walk down central Yerevan.

There’s even a chill-out spot that’s been constructed where people have been spotted sipping away at the seasonal beverage.

Many stalls are also selling festive knick knacks that would be ideal for decorating your humble abode. Be it baubles or other ornaments, you can search through the stalls to your heart’s content and find that perfect touch to complete your home decorations.
