Yerevan City Tour & Evening Promenade

Yerevan is a city best understood in layers, from its neoclassical pink-tuff core to the Soviet brutalist landmarks that punctuate its skyline. We start where the city administers itself, at Republic Square, then wander through the sensory overload of Vernissage market and the GUM food hall before climbing to Tsitsernakaberd's quiet memorial hill. The afternoon opens up at Victory Park, where Mother Armenia watches over the valley and Ararat beyond it. As the light softens, we set out on foot up the Cascade's sculpture-lined staircase, past Freedom Square, and down Northern Avenue for the evening's Singing Fountains.
