Yerevan Travel Guide: 240 reviews and 483 photos
I have been living in Yerevan since my birth. All my life has passed here. And wherever I go I come back to my lovely birthplace with pleasure, again and again understanding that EAST OR WEST, HOME IS BEST!
The history of Yerevan dates back to the 8th century BC, with the founding of the Urartian fortress of Erebuni in 782 BC.
Currently it's the capital of the Republic of Armenia, a city with more than 1 mln population. It's an open air museum with numerous churches, monuments, buildings and museums.
The Republic Square is the heart of the city where the museum of Armenia history is located.
When in Yerevan, it is a must to visit the Matenadaran, one of the biggest repositories of ancient manuscripts.

Wonderful page, Narunj! I wish I could try some Armenian cognac. Would love to visit Yerevan someday!
Barev Narunj! Your homecity looks charming... It's a pity that many Europeans don't consider Armenians as Europeans. I'd love to learn your language one day. The 10,000 drams banknote is very beautiful!
hi Narunj,,Have just return from your country, loved every day spent there, and every night, loved the food and atmosphere at Our Village restaurant, and loved the Vernissage,will be back as soon as winter is finished
great hometown tips!
This is one of the wonderful things about VT, I get to find links to places that I may otherwise never hear of. You come from a beautiful city that you are understandably very proud of.
Lots of helpful and interesting information here. Your home city looks like a great place.
useful and interesting info - very well written
Congrats on your pages :) You have a beautiful country which I hope to visit again soon.
