Summer evenings in Yerevan are long. It doesn’t get dark until 10 pm, and sometimes, there’s even a breeze. It’s no wonder that Yerevan enjoys the night life at the outdoor cafes.

Music annd converstion waft up to nerby apartments, whose residents are comfortably part of the scene, without ever leaving home. Cafes are open late and the city doesn’t begin to sleep until the early morning hours.
