Yerevan is one of the world’s leading showcases for Soviet architecture. The grand and imposing buildings are a fine example of modernism. The bustling centre of Yerevan is Republic Square with its colonnaded administrative buildings and musical fountains. Explore the priceless Armenian and Greek manuscripts at the Matenadaran Library, which is made from basalt. The History Museum of Armenia is especially interesting; built in the 1920s, and showcases many exhibits of artefacts from the region, including a shoe from 3500 BCE, thought to be the oldest in the world.
Flying from Los Angeles
One of the most important airports in the United States, Los Angeles International Airport (or LAX, as it is usually referred to), sits in southwestern Los Angeles. It is the fifth busiest airport in the world, servicing well over 70million passengers annually. Customers flying from Los Angeles with Qatar Airways will find that this airport, despite its massive size, is incredibly efficient. Staff go out of their way to make the customer experience as pleasant as possible, topped off with a warm American welcome. LAX is a major hub for international travellers, whether you’re visiting California for business or pleasure.
Transportation and parking
A free shuttle bus connects to the Aviation Station on the Green Line of the metro, providing a fast and efficient route between the centre of Los Angeles and the airport, taking around 40 minutes. LA traffic is notorious, so driving to the airport can take hours, depending on the conditions on H1 and interstates 405 and 105. If you are planning on taking a taxi during peak times, allow yourself plenty of time for your journey. LA is a city of drivers, so all public amenities are designed around the car. Consequently, car parking at the airport is plentiful, with around 8,000 spaces spread across eight parking lots. However, because of the busy nature of the location, it can still be difficult to get a space, especially during peak periods.
At the airport
Travellers flying from Los Angeles with Qatar Airways depart from Terminal 2. Be advised that there are nine terminals spread across a vast area, so ensure you arrive at the correct location. Allow plenty of time before your flight is due to depart, as while check-in is relatively quick, security checks can be lengthy and time consuming.
Facilities and amenities
Facilities are outstanding, but again they tend to be spread across the airport rather than confined to one particular area. Customers flying from T2 will find excellent shopping and retail outlets, offering everything from high-end luxury goods to regular travel accessories. Duty Free shops are located in T2 for international passengers who have cleared security. Food and drink is plentiful, supplied by fast food and on-the-go snack vendors, in addition to ‘TexMex’ and grills, restaurants and beverage stands. Wi-Fi is available throughout the airport, and conference and business facilities are available in T1, T6 and in nearby hotels.
Arriving in Yerevan
Affectionately known as The Pink City due to the colour of its stone buildings, Armenia’s capital is a city steeped in ancient history while throughout modern and energetic.
Book a flight to Yerevan with Qatar Airways and you’ll discover a vibrant, welcoming city that is rapidly establishing itself as a popular eastern European destination. It is also starting to attract serious commercial investment, making it an ideal destination for entrepreneurs looking for opportunities in a new market.
Tourist attractions
While the city may have been practically rebuilt from the ground up in the last century, its roots do stretch much further back. The Erebuni Fortress is currently being excavated and has revealed artefacts dating back over 3,000 years. It is the best-preserved fortress from the Urartian Period in Armenia, and a site of international importance. Guided tours take visitors around its walls, and are the best way to learn more about the fortress and the early history of the country.
Music is very important in Yerevan, and the city’s Opera House is one of its grandest civic buildings, housing not only the country’s opera, but also the national ballet. The two-sided building also contains the Khachaturian Concert Hall, making this the top destination for ballet, music, and cultural events in the city.
The Sculpture Park is tucked away north of the Opera House, and is a delightful collection of public art installations. The park is part of the Cafesjian Museum, which is in the Cascades. This Art Deco interpretation of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon is a huge white staircase up a hillside in the centre of the city, complete with waterfalls. At the top visitors can get a spectacular view of the city and nearby Mount Ararat.
