Armenian Market, Central marketplace in Yerevan, Armenia.
The Armenian Market is a covered marketplace in the city center organized into separate sections for fresh produce, dried fruits, nuts, and spices. Additional areas display handmade crafts and traditional textiles spread across multiple aisles and sections.
The marketplace began as Pak Shuka during the Soviet period and served as the main covered market for city residents. After independence it was renovated and has remained a central trading and craft location.
Artisans work openly in the market, showing how they make pottery, jewelry, and stone pieces using methods passed down through families. You can watch them work and understand how these crafts remain part of daily life in the city.
The market is easily reached on foot from the city center and operates with regular hours every day. Visitors can pay with cards at most stalls, though carrying some cash is also helpful since some vendors prefer it.
Vendors prepare lavash flatbread on site using traditional methods that UNESCO recognizes as part of Armenian cultural heritage. This ancient bread-making practice is visible and active at the market, giving visitors something special to witness.
