Discover Yerevan

Celebrated as the 'Pink City' due to its neoclassical buildings crafted from rosy volcanic tuff stone, Yerevan is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited capitals, founded in 782 BC—29 years older than Rome. Framed by the magnificent dual snow-capped peaks of Mount Ararat, Yerevan captivates travelers with its grand Republic Square singing fountains, the monumental art-filled Cascade Complex, lively open-air wine terraces on Saryan Street, rich jazz clubs, ancient manuscripts at the Matenadaran, and unforgettable day trips to medieval cliff-carved monasteries like Geghard and Khor Virap.
