Souvenirs and handcraft Armenia
© Copyright
Armenians are very skilled at stone- and woodwork, and you will find many objects sculpted in these two materials, as well as pieces of fine pottery. Armenian blankets, travelling rugs and carpets are internationally renowned. Before making any purchases, make sure that it is not a work of art, as customs checks are very strict. You should declare any cultural items. Should you not, they will be confiscated or very heavily taxed. Shops are open in the week (including Saturday) from 9.00am to 6.00pm.
