Yerevan

About Yerevan

Armenian brandy gives Yerevan a distinctive identity, alongside pink volcanic-stone buildings and views toward Mount Ararat in central Armenia.

The Cascade Complex, Matenadaran and Republic Square anchor cultural outings in Kentron, while Erebuni Fortress reaches into the city’s ancient past and Tsitsernakaberd offers a solemn place for reflection.

May through October brings the clearest setting for strolling between galleries, terraces and broad public squares. Yerevan’s welcoming streets pair Armenian dishes such as khorovats, dolma and lavash with cafés, craft shops and views of the surrounding mountains.
