There is no one in the world who doesn\u2019t love to travel. Some prefer discovering new cities and countries, conquering the highest mountains, or descending into dangerous canyons. Many of us enjoy sitting by the fire, feeling its warmth, and socializing with people, while others prefer photographing places of cultural and historical significance.<\/em><\/p>

Different tastes and preferences exist, but what unites us all is one thing\u2014the love of travel, including in the winter season. And if you enjoy traveling and want to spice up your holidays with extreme and winter sports, I can suggest several options for such a journey in Armenia.<\/em><\/p>

Winter in Armenia begins at the end of November or the beginning of December. It does not last long, and the weather is generally mild rather than harsh, sometimes snowy. In Yerevan, the average daily temperature in December ranges from +5\u00b0C to -5\u00b0C. I suggest starting your journey from the capital, Yerevan; the options here are diverse, and I assure you that you will find something suitable for yourself or your family.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In recent years, various Christmas markets have become very popular. One of the largest takes place at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concert Complex in Yerevan until New Year\u2019s Eve. Representatives from almost every field gather there, making it a great opportunity to discover dozens of Armenian initiatives under one roof. The selection is wide\u2014first take a walk around, then start shopping.<\/p>

Another market is located right in the heart of the capital, in Republic Square. I recommend visiting it in the evening: dress warmly, grab a takeaway hot drink, and start your walk from Abovyan Street. As the lights turn on, you will find yourself in a fairytale world. This year, Yerevan is especially magical for the holidays. Enjoy the rich decorations, the magnificent Christmas tree, and the wooden huts where you can buy Armenian products or taste mulled wine made from Armenian wine, all accompanied by music.<\/p>

Continue your walk toward the skating rink and attractions in the square, which operate daily from 13:00 to 22:00. Then walk down Amiryan Street toward Mashtots Avenue\u2014you will be treated to a beautiful view.<\/p>

If you want to make New Year\u2019s Eve truly magical, for the first time in Armenia an Opera Ball will take place\u2014a unique festive event in an exclusive format. Welcome the New Year at the National Opera and Ballet Theatre of Armenia, with a concert program featuring theater and guest performers, waltzes with audience participation, and hospitality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

On another day, visit Yerevan Park, the largest theme park in the region. Go ice skating\u2014this is the best choice if you are traveling with children. It is an unforgettable experience for both kids and adults.<\/p>

You can also skate at Swan Lake near the Opera. By the way, years ago when Kim Kardashian first visited Armenia, her husband, the famous rapper Kanye West, had an unplanned performance here, and at the end he jumped into the water\u2014hundreds of fans repeated his act.<\/p>

During the New Year holidays, many museums in Yerevan will be open for visitors\u2014you just need to choose and go. Visit clubs, listen to talented musicians, and of course don\u2019t forget about food: ghapama, khash, various traditional soups, and sweets like gata, baklava, and halva.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
