Overview
Yerevan is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world: it began as the fortress of Erebuni in 782 BC. Yet its centre is a 20th-century city built of pink volcanic tuff.
We walk from Republic Square through the Vernissage market and Northern Avenue to the Opera and the Cascade, with time for coffee and, on a clear day, a wide view of Ararat.
