Welcome to Yerevan, one of the oldest and trendiest cities in the world, which has transformed over time while preserving its unique characteristics.

Start your journey in Yerevan's Republic Square and take in the stunning ornaments and decorations of the neoclassical buildings that surround the city center. Continue your walk to the Opera and Ballet Theater on Abovyan Street and take in the stunning architecture from the 19th century. From there, take a short stroll to Cascade Complex, where you can browse the outdoor collection of modern art before ascending the stairs to take in the breathtaking view of Yerevan with Mount Ararat in the background. Finally, if you still have time, stroll over to Victory Park to see the statue of Mother Armenia and capture some lovely panoramic pictures of Yerevan.

If you visit Yerevan's History Museum, you will see Yerevan's "Birth Certificate." Funny, but true! A cuneiform inscription was found within the city limits of Yerevan, stating the year of Yerevan's construction by Urartian King Argishti. The best way to prove this is to take a walk through Yerevan and look at the buildings, which serve as silent witnesses to both the past and the present.

When talking about Yerevan's age from the Urartian period, it would be a mistake to miss the Erebuni Fortress. Yerevan got its name from Erebuni, with the letter B changing to the letter V over time. On the territory of Erebuni Historical and Archaeological Museum-Reserve, you can observe the findings from the area exhibited in the museum building and tour Erebuni Fortress to admire the historical layers found thanks to archaeological excavations. To understand the connection between Erebuni and Yerevan and the overall bond with the Urartian Civilization, a visit to the Erebuni Fortress and museum is a must.
