12 Things To Do In Yerevan, Armenia
Armenia is a great, underrated country in the Caucasus region. Here are 12 things to do in Yerevan
Armenia doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves. Tucked into the South Caucasus between Georgia, Turkey, Iran, and Azerbaijan, it’s one of the oldest countries in the world and one of the most genuinely off-the-beaten-path destinations you can visit right now. Yerevan is a surprisingly modern, walkable city with great food, a buzzing cafe culture, and a warmth from locals that’s hard to find in more touristy destinations. If you’re looking for somewhere most people haven’t been yet…this is it. This guide covers everything you need to plan a real trip to Armenia.
When I showed up to Yerevan for the first time, my mind was blow. This country is awesome.

My Armenia Tour Review from the top tour company. I highly recommend them on your trip to Yerevan.
Uber is not the go-to app in Armenia. You will have to download Yandex Go.
Yerevan specifically…is an extremely walkable city.

I tried a bunch of restaurants in Armenia, but one stuck out the most. This is the best restaurant in Yerevan for travelers.
