It can be frustrating and time-consuming to research your travel destination. We live and work in Yerevan and know it like a back of our hand. We are always happy when people come and visit our beautiful home city and want you to have as much information about Yerevan as possible. That is why we have put together an online Yerevan Travel Guide full of essential information for your trip.
Yerevan is the capital of Armenia. It is a very old city, but it has been scarred quite a bit by history. You will still find it the best place to start exploring Armenia, and there are many museums and parks in town. With Yerevan as your base you can easily visit Echmiadzin, the Holy See of the Armenian Church, the Hellenistic temple of Garni and Geghard monastery on daytrips.
Compared with the rest of the country, cultural life is great here. There is a wide choice of restaurants, hotels and bars and there are still quite a few good orchestras playing in Yerevan. People look very modern and while sipping an espresso in some of the hipper bars, you could think you were in San Francisco. The most important sight in town is probably the Erebuni Fortress, which dates from the 8th century BC. It is from the same period as the fortress in Van in East Turkey.
