12 Things To Do In Yerevan, Armenia
Planning a trip to Yerevan, Armenia? Here are 12 honest things to do…from Geghard Monastery and Garni Temple to Armenian pizza and the best market in the city.
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.
