Sobre esta Tip
For handmade gifts without haggling, try Dalan, a shop and gallery on Abovyan Street selling wood, ceramic, leather, textile and metal pieces by Armenian artists. Shops have set prices, so keep bargaining for open-air markets. If origin matters to you, ask staff who made the piece, because a guide notes that not every item is local. Look for named makers and ask staff to wrap fragile items.
