Best Time To Visit Yerevan

Yerevan is Armenia’s capital. The Matenadaran library, housing thousands of ancient Greek and Armenian manuscripts, dominates its main avenue. Republic Square is the city’s core, with musical water fountains and colonnaded government buildings.

Also on Republic Square is the National Gallery, displaying European, Russian, Asian and Armenian artwork. To the north is the Cascade, a monumental grass-covered stone stairway. At its top is Victory Park, featuring an amusement park and cafes. To the west is the Blue Mosque, distinguished by its mosaic tiles. The Genocide Museum, on a western hill overlooking Mount Ararat, recounts the massacre of Armenians under Ottoman rule.
