The most interesting and beautiful tourist sites in Yerevan
Photos, reviews, descriptions, and links to maps
Yerevan is home to more than a third of Armenia’s population. The city is the cultural, economic and political centre of the country. If we consider 782 BC (when the Erebuni fortress was founded) as the date of Yerevan’s foundation, it turns out that the Armenian capital is older than Rome. There are no magnificent palaces and monumental baroque facades, but there is a unique charm of streets, parks and small squares.
It took Yerevan a long time to recover from the devastating events of the 1990s. Years of decline and lack of funding have left many buildings and entire neighbourhoods in need of renovation. However, today we can see that the city is reviving, turning into a beautiful and attractive place for tourists, where there are many worthy attractions.
A pedestrian street stretching 1.5 kilometres from Place de la Republique to Place de l’Opera. The avenue was laid out on the site where private houses used to be located. The government bought the territory from the population and started construction only in 2001, although the project was conceived by A.O. Tomanian in the early 20th century. The first part of the avenue was opened in 2006, the second and third parts – in 2007. Along the street there are office buildings, elite residential property, restaurants and shops.
