Yerevan is a city with a proud and ancient history, which has reinvented itself since the Soviet era into a vibrant juxtaposition of east meets west, traditional and modern.

Yerevan ranks as one of the world’s top ten safest cities, and tourism is increasing each year. There are many historic attractions including temples, monasteries and cathedrals, while the biblical Mount Ararat is of particular interest to Christian tourists.

Yerevan is a centre for dance, music and cinema as well as the home of the Armenian carpet. It has been the capital since 1918, when the First Republic of Armenia was formed.

Sit out and enjoy the street cafés in the summer, marvel at the musical fountain in Republic Square, or just take a stroll under 19th century balconies, visit museums and historic libraries and elegant leafy streets.
