Almost at the center of Yerevan is Republic Square, which is considered the center of the city and is a vast and grand place that is bordered by the beautiful and elegant buildings, the dancing fountains, and the famous History Museum of Armenia. On the other hand, taking a walk on the Northern Avenue, which is filled with boutiques, eateries, and galleries, is another option for the tourists, or they can ascend the Cascades, which is a grand stairway providing the most beautiful view of Mount Ararat, the mythical symbol of Armenia.
Yerevan is a perfect stroll-around city. The main boulevards, which are planted with trees, the coffee shops in the open-air, and the buzzing markets like Vernissage all tell the story of the friendly and artistic side of the Armenian people. Those who are interested in history would love to visit Erebuni Fortress, which dates back to 782 BC or the serene Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex that stands as a moving tribute to the victims and a powerful reminder of the importance of resilience and remembrance.
Just when it gets dark, Yerevan flourishes with the music, the art, and the lavish gastronomic scene. Savour the traditional Armenian dishes such as khorovats (barbecue), dolma, and lavash bread, and enjoy them with wine or brandy that is produced locally—the latter being a source of national pride.
Yerevan not only speaks of the past with its old-world charm but also echoes the present with its youthful energy. This city greets every newcomer with hospitality, richness in culture, and the most amazing sights. If you're looking for history, hospitality, or just the sheer pleasure of discoveries, Yerevan will still afford you all that and more.
