It has the largest concentration of nineteenth-century architecture in Armenia in the Kumayri district, a very good social history museum, and a character quite unlike the capital. The train is three hours and costs \u20ac2.\r\nWhat happened in 1988? | An earthquake destroyed most of the city and killed tens of thousands across the region. Reconstruction took decades and some families were in temporary housing thirty years later. The city does not hide it, and the memorial on Vardanants Square is part of any visit.\r\nWhat is Kumayri? | The surviving pre-earthquake quarter: several hundred nineteenth-century black and orange tufa townhouses with carved balconies, still lived and worked in rather than preserved as a museum.\r\nTrain or marshrutka from Yerevan? | The train is three hours and \u20ac2 and goes through the countryside; the marshrutka is two hours and \u20ac3 and runs more often. Take the train if you have the time.\r\nIs it cheaper than Yerevan? | Noticeably. Beds \u20ac7 to \u20ac16, meals \u20ac4 to \u20ac8, beer at \u20ac1.20, and a day around \u20ac20 to \u20ac32.\r\nWhen should I visit? | May to October. Gyumri sits at 1,550 metres on an open plain and winter regularly drops below minus 15 with wind, which is a different proposition from the capital.\r\nCan I cross into Turkey from here? | No. The border is ten kilometres west and has been closed since 1993.
