Journey Through Yerevan: Discover Armenia's Timeless Charm
Yerevan, a welcoming and sunny city, can showcase a lot of the intriguing, captivating, and enjoyable attractions in Armenia. Referred to as the "Pink City" due to pinkish-tinged volcanic stone (tufa), it holds the distinction of being one of the oldest cities globally, established even before Rome. So, what attractions can you visit during the Yerevan city tour by FREETOUR.com?
- Erebuni Fortress, an architectural complex that includes a palace and other religious and residential buildings. To visit it, you have to pay about $2-3 only. Archaeologists discovered halls and temples, dwellings and warehouses, 100 rooms with rich decoration, a square basalt pool from the Urartian period, fragments of frescoes with scenes of sacrifices to the gods, clay jugs with cuneiform writing, Mongolian silver coins, and an Urartian seal.
- Sevan, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Caucasus. Its water is transparent and clean because, according to legend, only stars and gods drank from it. In the event of its disappearance, the primary source of fresh water will also disappear. This lake gained its popularity thanks to clean air, beautiful nature, and a large number of nearby attractions. In the basin of Lake Sevan, the national park "Sevan" was created with four nature reserves and ten customers.
- The Armenian Genocide Museum, serving as a poignant reminder of the tragic events of the genocide. It sheds light on the suffering, loss, and struggles endured by the Armenian people. Situated on a hillside, this free-to-visit, two-story museum is predominantly underground, resembling a tomb in its design. Its flat roof provides sweeping views of the Ararat valley.
- The Cafesjian Center for the Arts, a free-for-admission art museum, built in 2009 and dedicated to the unique contemporary culture of Armenia. Here, you will experience a true spiritual retreat, contemplating objects of modern Armenian art and immersing yourself in the history of their creators.
- Sakharov Square, located in the central district of Kentron and named after the famous Soviet physicist and human rights activist, Academician Andrei Sakharov. Here you will enjoy stunning city panoramas and also learn about the history of Sakharov himself, one of the creators of the first Soviet hydrogen bomb.
