I had the most enchanting experience at Republic Square Armenia. The stunning architecture and vibrant atmosphere truly captivated me. From savoring delicious local cuisine at nearby cafes to witnessing the mesmerizing dancing fountains, this place is a gem that combines culture, history, and modernity in a perfect blend. A must-visit destination that left me in awe!
Fascinating 'Rock' Monastery. The rock chambers were well preserved. Beautiful carvings on the rock walls and the ceiling. The designs on Cross Rocks were intricate. Unfortunate that the dome of the church was under restoration.
Beautiful complex with many sculptures and nice views! It has an escalator inside so that you don't have to walk up and it is free and openly accessible to the public! A really nice place and a must visit if you are in Yerevan. I do recommend it!
The dazzling lights and mesmerizing water display are a sight to behold. It's a great way to spend an evening with friends or family, and the good vibes are infectious. I highly recommend it!
Love this place in Yerevan, specially if you search for nice presents. There is a big selection of hand-made souvenirs. I like the silver jeweleries and there is always something unique to find for yourself. The markt has also beautiful paintings and traditional carpets.
Beautiful Persian architectural marvel. The environment inside was quite and tranquil.
They have nice library, Persian souvenir store and art gallery inside the compound.

Very very beautiful. There were also vendors and musicians outside the monastery. Large parking but steep hill to walk up to the monastery. Very much worth it! You can buy candles on location to light up in church.
If you’re into printing or Bible studies, this is the place to go in Yeran
Lots of children driving around.
Breathtaking views are only one of the many offerings this unique location has. There’s also the playful and unique art pieces in the Cafesjian Center for the Arts. The ascent to the top rewards you with the beautiful vistas of Yerevan. It’s not a difficult climb by any means but it’s also a nice way to stretch your legs. The Soviet architecture and fountains provide a feast for the eyes. I don’t think a visit to Yerevan is complete without a visit here, but that comes from someone who’s only been there once. But if and when I return to this lovely city, I will definitely make a visit to the Cascade.
Blue Mosque in Yerevan is also known as Blue Mosque, Parsi Mosque and Gek Jami Mosque. This mosque was built in the 18th century, far from grandeur and with an almost simple architecture. The Blue Mosque was built by Hussain Ali Khan who was a local ruler during the reign of Nader Shah. The facade and dome of the Blue Mosque are decorated with blue tiles. This mosque became known as the blue mosque because of the color of the entrance door and its tiles, which are blue.
Absolutely Amazing !!!! Worth it
The only thing made me disappointed that I coudnt go to Mount Ararat as it was inside tukey border. I could just just watch and feel it from far distance .

I love this place. They have various souvenirs, beautiful arts, and mixed with antique items. You can bargain here as well
One of the highlights in Yerevan. It gives you an amazing view over the city with the mountains in the background.
Two things though:
1. It looks like it's not finished. When you're all the way up the viewing point there is some serious work in progress. And looking at it,.it didn't gave me the feeling they're in a hurry to finish it. If at all.
2. You need to be a bit lucky with the weather and clouds for a clear mountain view.
For the rest, a 100% must do and must see when you're in Yerevan.

This is a happening place especially in the evenings. In the evenings people gather around the fountains enjoying the bustling atmosphere. There are Restaurants and Ice Cream shops along the side streets. The buildings are lit at night and look wonderful. There a few benches available to sit or you can sit by the fountains. Taxis are available along the main roads.
Beautiful monastery, it’s an amazing experience to be there. I would recommend this place for all people to visit. It’s so magical.
Worth checking out. I came on a Monday so not every stall was open but still get a good feel. Much of the same at each so don’t think it would make a huge difference.
Easy to get to if staying near Republic Square.

Matenadaran is one of the must-see museums in Yerevan. The historical books and manuscripts are truly breathtaking. The displays are laid out perfectly for everyone to follow and understand. Getting a tour guide is always worth every penny; however, I highly recommend to take the time and read the descriptions as they are very informative.
I was one person so I imagine this is why the let me in without a booking. I get the feeling that bookings are required and you must go through as part of a guided tour.
Amazing to see and then experience the brandy tasting. All up can be about 40 mins to an hour.

Nice square, full of activities. I advise to take a visit.
So nice to see whole city of Yerevan from the top. It is in the middle of the city, restaurants, bars are nearby and very good too. Must visit place of Armenia.
It’s a beautiful monastery location near to Turkey border , I really enjoyed going down to the pit , the pit little scary from Entrance but it’s very small and safe . It’s one time visit place .
Not a big complex but it's definitely worth going. Great views and marvellous monastery full of history.
The pit took a bit of time to get in.

It’s a free market with some very good options to buy and others are like worn out rusted one. Shop keepers the moment they see a tourist raise the prices exponentially

Main square in the center of the city and one of the main attractions of Yerevan. The large square includes a large fointain and is surrounded by beautiful old buildings. The square has a historical importance to the local and most national events are celebrated in this square.
Beautiful city, clean and very accommodating people. One of the best and very historical place I've ever been.
Unique and marvellous, it's a popular UNESCO world heritage site. There are a number of places to walk to within the complex but it's easy.
We went on a weekday. Saw a nice variety of items, also a lot of the same. It's a nice walk, and there's a cafe at one end you can grab a drink at. We expected to really find some deals, but there wasn't any real negotiation - that was a surprise.
Nice cool place, could go around to see some very unique (and big!) statues made in stone. Excellent choice of restaurants at the cascade which is just next door
The tour was very informative and the place was very modern. Staff are really friendly and they entertain questions during the tour especially on the brandy tasting. The tasting was a good experience too it also comes with a bottle of water and chocolate that really compliments the taste of the brandy. We enjoyed everything and we highly recommend to add the tour into your next Yerevan itinerary!
Roses are blooming on a small territory, offering a nice view of the entrance to the mosque. Judging by the tag on the restricted network, beautiful shots are captured with this backdrop. The only downside is that the entrance to the territory from the street is inconspicuous.
With a world-class collection of awe-inspiring works in an equally awesome building, this is certainly a must-see in Yerevan. The manuscripts are presented without much context however, so the 5000 dram guided tour is worthwhile if you can afford it. Had the collection only been better presented, this could have been a museum of global renown.
Detailed tour with great guide who gives you insights into cognac production. It’s well-organized, educational and entertaining. Reasonable price (4500 AMD), which includes tasting of 3 and 7 year-old cognacs. Recommend taking a 10 am tour to avoid crowds.
This is one of the main thing you should visit. Here you can taste the city and the country, feel it's warm and relax. In the museum you can take an excursion and there is a small shop here.
The square is part of the Yerevan Opera Theater complex, located just to the south of the main opera building, between the opera park and the Swan lake. Along with the Republic Square, the Freedom Square is one of the two main squares in central Yerevan
Not only can you see the city of Yerevan from above, but you can also see Mount Ararat in the distance on a clear day.
The cascade is illuminated at night and is very beautiful.
You can take the escalator up, but I recommend walking up.

Fantastic place. Mount Ararat is dominating the landscape turning it into a formidable spectacle. The church itself is interesting too, enabling one to climb down a dungeon where George was kept for 13 years. Lots of fun!
Entering the mosque from the Main Street.. the hustle bustle of the city is cut off and you land in a very peaceful area.. full of fuitbearing trees (July month) birds and flowers.. the mosque is beautifully built in Iranian design and is the only operational mosque in Armenia
Very unique church partially inside a cave. Being so old it has a very interesting history and so I recommend either to read about it before you visit, or have a tour guide. There are lots of hidden areas you can explore, also have an empty bottle to collect holly water.
It’s also a convenient distance away from Yerevan

You can find everything you want here. Great place if you’re looking for jewellery, souvenirs and some clothes. You kind of have to bargain for lower prices
It's a old monastery built in 4th century. It's bit different from others as it is partially curved out from a mountain. This monastery is surrounded by cliffs and river. Despite this monastery is compromised several times throughout the history, its still standing with beautiful grace and history. The complex is well maintained as well.
It's a free to enter mosque for all.
+ Great, peaceful, and calm inside the mosque built in between a busy city area.
+ A great art gallery selling art and craft at a reasonable price.
+ Some old idols, paintings, and artefacts are kept for public to view.
+ A great park inside with a lot of trees.
+ A good place for history enthusiasts.

One of the main highlights of Yerevan combining soviet architecture and modern art. The structure consists of a long staircase that was intended to connect the center of the city to the hill of the victory park to the north but was never completed. There is an indoor escalator inside and several pieces of art all across the structure and in the park at the lower end. The area is also surrounded by restaurants and cafes and is highly recommended for anyone visiting Yerevan.
Seems like a relaxed place to sit down, catch your breath and enjoy some sun. Or a meeting point. Not bad.
Friendly staff, supports tours in all 3 languages. The museum had a good history, very pleasant sampling experience with 3 cognacs of different ages and thorough explanation of how drink and enjoy it. They also sell custom bottles that are not found elsewhere.
Amazing place especially before sunset and later around 9pm when the fountain show starts.
Weather in June- July was amazing.
A lot of coffee shops, restaurants and street food also available in the area.

This is probably one of the most interesting monasteries I have ever visited. The Mount Ararat view, the call to prayer coming from the other side of the border which has been closed for three decades. The serenity of the place despite the tourists like myself. It was a surreal experience in a sad and an interesting sense. Let's hope peace will prevail and the borders will be lifted one day in the Caucasus
Indian vehicle in Armenia. . Any India's here? Give me a reply.
A place with amazing scenic beauty and cultural significance. You will find a wonderful view of mount Aramat and the valley. The way they maintained road is certainly commendable.
The field is a very beautiful place, and its sunsets have a captivating waterfall dance. I wish that only the traffic, especially car parking, could be limited in this beautiful location, which, in my opinion, has diminished the beauty of the field significantly.
We embarked on a beautiful journey to reach this place, which adds to the worth of visiting it. Rest assured that the distance of this route is valuable, and you will witness a breathtaking destination.
This place has a traditional market with friendly and courteous vendors and offers more reasonable prices compared to other goods and shops. In general, it is a great place to purchase souvenirs.
When I visited Yerevan, I stopped by Republic Square, and I'm so glad I did. This place is like the living room of the city – a great place to hang out, meet people, or just sit and relax.
The buildings are really pretty, with some cool patterns on the floor and everything around. In the evening, there's this fantastic show with water dancing to music. It's a real treat and a great spot for photos.
For anyone visiting Yerevan, you've gotta check this place out – it's the heart of the city!

If you want something unique to Armenia and hand made, this is the place to go. From hand carved chess or nardi boards from my friend Ararat to Soviet tools and military memorabilia and everything in between. It is there.
If you have some spare time in Yerevan, this museum should be in the top 5 places to visit.
In an authentic environment within the factory itself, you will learn the magic of creating authentic brandy and the history of brandy making in Ararat.
After learning about it, you will have the pleasure of a guided tasting.

A rather nice looking monastery, but the highlight is that you can see Mount Ararat from it. Also, the monastery is rather crowded compared to some others in Armenia.
There's the main building and a few other smaller rooms around. You can exit through the back wall and climb up in order to see it from above.
On the way from the parking lot to the monastery, you will see several snacks and souvenirs sellers.

One of the more different looking monasteries, because it seems to have been carved directly on the mountainside.
It is pretty big and looks pretty nice, which several rooms spread among several levels. If you go through the small door on the wall behind the main building, you will find the toilet, which costs 100 drams and is that weird hole in the ground, not very usual in Europe or America. You will also find a nice small bridge going over a small river.
When coming from the parking lot and into the temple, you will find a small trail going up, into an opening on the mountain side. It's just a very small cave with lots of small rocks on its floor. Beware that there might be snakes there.
You can buy souvenirs and snacks in the parking lot.

This is especially nice when the fountain functions and is always a good place to get a coffee and people watch. You might just see a wedding party exiting the Grand Hotel. The spider sculpture is very similar to the one at Belvedere Palace in Vienna.
Our visit to this cognac factory in Armenia was thoroughly enjoyable. The tour was comprehensive and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We were treated to a tasting, which was a delightful addition to the tour. The price for the tour represented excellent value for money.
Our guide also offered advice on whether to purchase the cognac or not, which was appreciated. I highly recommend this tour, particularly as this cognac is among the most well-known and highly esteemed in Armenia.

A great place to stroll on a breezy afternoon, but the square looks so much more beautiful and picturesque at night with all the building lights on and the fountain dancing to some music. The square is surrounded by various restaurants and food stalls at reasonable prices so there’s no shortage of options if you go hungry. A must-visit when in Yerevan!
There was nothing special there, just a simple mosque. Maybe because there are greater ones in Iran, I didn't like it much.
It's the lonely mosque in Yerevan, beautiful Persian blueish style, it's worth to visit not far from the center. There is a small souvenir place and the garden is very calm with less noise. You will enjoy the visit.
I went with my mom who doesn’t drink( more for me). It was a great experience however it was super difficult to climb all those stairs up and down. I bought 2, 5, and 10 years old brandy. They are GOOD!

It's a beautiful monastery located just near the Turkey border. You will get to see beautiful view of mount Ararat.
It's open for visitors from 8 am to 7pm ( appx). We reached there on Saturday (Apr'23) morning. Once you park.. You will fins small outdoor shops of orange and pomegranate juice then passing through the souvenirs stalls then you need to take the staircase to reach the top were you will get the epic view of mountain and monastery.
*There is paid washroom outside the monastery. Should be cleaned frequently as the footfall is good.
You can clicks loads of pictures and make reels😁, it has fantastic magnificent backdrop of mountain.

It's a beautiful place. It has close to 500+ steps made of limestone with greenery around and enough resting place and security guards. You will find loads of beautiful cafes and restaurants around offering great drink and dinning options..mostly international cuisines.
. Once you reach the top you will witness that it's surrounded by beautiful hills and cotton clouds floating. We thoroughly enjoyed.
Great example of soviet architecture in Yerevan.

Beautiful looking place. Not sure it's allowed to smoke in the area, and the security guy eyeballs you if you look too European. Besides that, has a nice ambient.
Freedom Square, Amazing area to roam around.
Extraordinary place to visit in Yerevan, Armenia.
Recommended to all who are interested in information about the book and the history.

Good place, close to Cascade, and theater. Around there is a lot of coffee shops and parks for kids.
IT IS JUST A POINT. NOTHING SPECIAL HERE , JUST A OPEN PLACE TO CROSS WITH PLEASANT STATUES OF OLD LORDS AND ARISTOTLE'S
Beautiful in new year celebrating
Lovely square in Yerevan centre.
It has pictures of Charles Aznavour, a fountain (didn’t work when I visited) and a huge spider.

First you can enter without a ticket this is an old square with a beautiful sculpture of a spider and a beautiful fountain with zodiac signs . 4 stars because the water was dirty .
One of the most beautiful buildings in the city! They also make wonderful events ...
I was torn on visiting here with some earlier mixed reviews, and even more so on getting a guide, but I’m SO glad I did. I was here easily two hours and the English guide I had, Lillit, was fantastic. Excellent English skills and explanations for all the manuscripts and books she pointed out. The tour was about an hour or maybe more and I enjoyed every minute. The 5000 dram price for the guided tour is so worth it. Yes, there are English translations for everything but you won’t get a true understanding and context of all you see. Also Lillit, loved your bronze eye makeup! Apparently there is an additional cost for taking photos, which I wasn’t aware of, but Lillit me sneak a bunch. I’m so grateful to her and highly recommend her services! This place is a gem for bibliographiles.
I loved the place, it showcased the literary history of Armenian with an impressive exhibit available in many languages (but more complete in French and Armenian - For once my language was useful !)
It was an interesting visit and I learned a lot in a short amount of time.
I'm quite surprised by the lack of popularity of the place, even the building is good looking and stylish !

I'm rating it 5 stars not only because this square is named after my country but also because it's a good place for hanging out and for taking a look at the many paintings that can be found in the little park.
An extraordinary place with a great exhibition of ancient books and printings. I was very impressed that the exhibits are commented in 4 languages (Armenian, Russian, English and French).
I recommend to take a guide for the exhibition, they will give you so much insight information about the book and the history.
It is a MUST to visit it.

The Freedom Square or Liberty Square, also known as Opera Square and Theatre Square until 1991, is a town square located in the centre district of Yerevan, Armenia. The square is part of the Yerevan Opera Theater complex, located just to the south of the main opera building, between the opera park and the Swan lake. Along with the Republic Square, the Freedom Square is one of the two main squares in central Yerevan. It is bordered with four streets: Tumanyan Street, Teryan Street, Sayat Nova Avenue and Mashtots Avenue. The statues of writer Hovhannes Tumanyan and composer Alexander Spendiaryan are located in the square.
Yerevan is quite an interesting city (as well as Armenia as a country) and in many places are statues of world knows armenians. Here in France Square we have a statue of Charles Aznavour, an armenian born in France. Place is really pretty and fountain is a welcome sight in hot Yerevan summers. Just behind is big Moskva cinema, its architecture remind me of some Moscow underground stations.
This is not really a real square you could walk into or something. There's traffic everywhere with a Rodin statue located in the middle of the big crossroads to give it a feel of a square:] but it's practically impossible to walk to the statue either because of all the cars around. So all you can do is observe it from a distance or look like a moron running through traffic to go see a statue
Nice busy place with a great fountain & old moscow theatre.
My favorite square.
I love the huge chess, the metallic bear, and above all the spider!

The semi-circular square is known for its prominent role in modern history of Armenia. Since the Karabakh movement in February 1988, the Freedom Square has become a center of popular demonstrations. To suppress the demonstrations the square was closed down several times within 1988 by Soviet police and military forces
There are lots of people crowding at night. It's a nice atmosphere cafe and you can enjoy day and night. It is a popular spot for locals. There is also a children's playground so you can enjoy it with your family.
Matenadaran, officially the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts, is a museum, repository of manuscripts, and a research institute in Yerevan, Armenia. It is the world's largest repository of Armenian manuscripts.
It was established in 1959 on the basis of the nationalized collection of the Armenian Church, formerly held at Etchmiadzin. Its collection has gradually risen since its establishment, mostly from individual donations. One of the most prominent landmarks of Yerevan, it is named after Mesrop Mashtots, the inventor of the Armenian alphabet, whose statue stands in front of the building.
