Armenia Travel Diary

1. Etchmiadzin Cathedral Highlights: The famous spear of Longinus, known for piercing Christ's side, is on display here! (Note: It is located inside the museum, so you need to pay an additional fee to see it.) The dome inside is also beautifully decorated. However, the interior is not overwhelmingly ornate like Western art but rather solemn. Personally, it wasn't to my taste... 2. Yerevan Opera House Highlights: You can enjoy ballet and opera performances at very affordable prices! The seats are spacious and offer good visibility. However, the audience often uses their smartphones to take pictures during the performance, which makes it hard to focus. The etiquette is quite poor!! It felt like a reflection of the general manners.
