Yerevan's landmarks and attractions

Yerevan has had a turbulent history, experiencing cultural influences from Persia, Syria, Turkey. Until the 1990s, Armenia was part of the Soviet Union, which significantly impacted its culture and architecture – in Yerevan, you can still see numerous vestiges of the Soviet times. In the 21st century, the city, however, is experiencing rapid change, with sprouting cafes, restaurants, galleries and art centers. You will still find some of the remnants of the old city with its 19th century architecture.

• Make sure to visit the National Gallery of Armenia, the History Museum of Armenia and the Armenian Genocide Museum that revisits a tragic period in the history of Armenia.
• In Yerevan and vicinity, you will also find signs of a strong Christian presence – Armenia is one of the earliest adepts of Christianity – the country adopted Christianity in the 4th century – you can visit ruins of some of the churches from the 4th, 5th centuries just outside Yerevan. Though some of Yerevan's oldest Christian architecture was destroyed during the Soviet times, you will still find some beautiful churches in the city – like the 18th century Saint John the Baptist Church.
• Trace Yerevan's history back to the Bronze Age visiting the ruins of the fortress on Erebuni Fortress Hill. The local Erebuni museum has an extensive collection of artifacts, including a wine storage container that testifies to Armenia’s time-honored winemaking tradition, dating back to the Bronze Age. Brandy is yet another Armenian signature drink – get outside the city to visit the Ararat Brandy Factory and try the famous drink.
