Being an ancient country Armenia is so rich with cultural monuments that can offer different cultural tours to Armenia. They will give you the breathtaking feeling of finding yourself in one of the oldest civilizations of the world, where the oldest leather shoe has been found, where one of the oldest observatories is situated, some of the important routes of medieval great Silk Road are passing through Armenia and the world’s longest Arial Tramways can be experienced only during your holidays in Armenia.
The testimonials of our many holiday makers come to prove that Armenian mountains have magical positive energy on hikers and that the mountains can transfer the power and strength coming from the centuries. The majority of travelers after departure stated “…my feet still walk in your mountains and my mind is still in your hospitable land…” .
Due to the high mountain chains and deep gorges our country was able to resist attacks of centuries. Many of the sights are inaccessible for transportation and are passable for the travelers who come to do only So here are some privileges of a hiking tour: you feel authentic and pure nature, you visit the places where no man’s foot has been, you eat the locals’ food and the people in the regions are so animated by the newcomers and by the attention paid to them that they are ready to share the last peace of bread with you.

Let’s start virtual and pass through 3000 years old history beginning from Erebuni fortress dating back to 782 BC and ending up to our days. It is the meeting of the past and the future. History is written and stored in its monuments and memorials and in the memories of its older generations that are trying to pass the reminiscences onto the younger generation. In this already cosmopolitan city you can come across with 5 floor buildings remaining still from the Soviet times on the background of big modern buildings, you will of course shop around the modern supermarkets but still the flee market of Vernissage has its own charm and no tourist leaves Armenia without buying a nice souvenir or bargain from here.

So I did what I was asked to do so, fill the empty space and then I hired the first page gave me. And with the car, I lived my entire stay. So I could also visit some tourism in the city and also help my daughter, for example, take the groceries home. I spend a good time. Hopefully next time I’ll also be able to see their grandchildren even.

The building was designed by Joseph Reed who took inspiration from the Florence Cathedral for his eclectic design. He also created the Melbourne Town Hall and the State Library of Victoria. The main pavilions followed the architectural style of different European buildings in Normandy, Caen and Paris.

The construction started in 1979. The Royal Exhibition Building was meant to house the 1880-1881 Melbourne International Exhibition. It also hosted the Melbourne Centennial Exhibition that celebrated a hundred years since the settlement of Australia by Europeans. The first Australian Parliament also took place there in 1901 after the country was upgraded to Commonwealth status. The Victorian government used the exhibition building for the next 26 years.

For the most part of the 20th century the building was used for various needs. It housed basketball, weightlifting and wrestling competitions during the 1956 Summer Olympics. Later, it was used for industrial fairs, boat and car shows, dances, festivals as well as for public examinations. The municipal government considered demolishing the aging building to construct modern office buildings in the 1950s. The great ballroom was demolished in 1979. There was a certain public outcry and it was decided to keep the building.

The building was restored in the 1980s and was granted the Royal in its name by Princess Alexandra on one of her visits to New Zealand. The campaign for the building to be listed inn the World Heritage List was started in 1999 and brought results in 2004 making it the first building in Australian to have such a status.

You can visit the building by car. Car hire companies in Melbourne are Europcar, Budget, Thrifty, Ace, Apex, Avis and Hertz.
