Armenia Tourist Attractions: 10 Best Places to Visit in Armenia -Best tourist attractions
Armenia is becoming an increasingly popular tourist attraction, with the small but charming nation boasting a rich history. Armenia, which was the first country to declare Christianity as its national religion, boasts some of Europe’s most stunning views, with the peak of Mount Ararat dominating the country’s skyline. The mountain is Armenia’s national symbol despite its peak lying just over the Turkish border and Ararat is considered holy by locals due to its mention in The Bible – it is where Noah’s Ark landed. Armenia is home to countless beautiful monasteries and they are often found in areas of truly outstanding natural beauty. Armenia’s capital, Yerevan,

VISIT ARMENIA - THINGS TO DO IN YEREVAN (Travel Vlog)
My first visit to Armenia and my first day in Yerevan, I explored the city, visiting the cascade, seeing the mother of Armenia statue located in victory park, then meeting a local that had just started a free walking tour company and was kind enough to show me around. I visited the flea market, saw a local playing the duduk instrument, I also had another try of Kvas... and liked it. Ending off the day at republic square watching the night time fountain show.

Episode 10 - Armenia - Yerevan & Gyumri / 365 days off - Travel around the world
FIRST STEPS IN ARMENIA: YEREVAN & GYUMRI
After 4 full weeks in Georgia, we decided that it was time to move on. So we chose Armenia to spend the next three weeks. Since the beginning of our trip, we’ve been traveling all around that country. In Ani, we even saw the border a few hundred meters from us. Now we could at least find out how Armenia looks like.
The arrival in Yerevan was rather surprising. The center is full of green parks, has some pedestrian street and plenty of fancy shops and cafes. Along all the Caucasian cities we visited so far, Yerevan is the one which reminds us the most of European capitals.
On our second day, we met Vako. He is a local who likes to share his knowledge of the city by offering free walking tours (highly recommended). During our five days in Yerevan, we stumbled on him twice. Yerevan is not so big after all. On those days we saw other faces of Yerevan, from the old soviet amusement park to the alternative Aeon’s cafe.
After Yerevan, we went on a tour in the country. In order to simplify the planning, we took the suggested itinerary from the Bradt guide and followed it by the letter. We rented a small Nissan Micra and started from there. The first stop (covered in this episode) was Gyumri. We spent the night in a very nice B&B owned by Armine and her husband. It was such a treat for us: Coffee and Choux à la crème on our arrival, followed by a traditional homemade dinner with her husband and her. And, in the morning, we got again a table full of delicious food for the breakfast. At that point we realized that our decision to stay only in homestays or B&B for the rest of our Armenian tour was a very good one. Although we may take some weight in the process…
WE DID SPECIFICALLY ENJOY:
The free walking tour of Yerevan offered by Vako. A really nice introduction to the country and the city.
The children railways. A remain of the soviet time (1937) that was used to taught kids and teenagers how to operate trains.
Looking at hundreds of persons performing traditional Armenian dances at the cascade. They do that every last Friday of the month and everyone is welcome to participate.
The genocide memorial and museum. A must see if you want to understand Armenia.
ACCOMMODATION
Yerevan hostel. So far the cheapest place we stayed at (24 CHF a night)… and we got what we payed for: a tiny room without windows and a bulk bed. Magali was sleeping on the bed below. Her biggest fear was to have the upper bed falling on her when Daniel was moving. Please note here that this is because of the few old pieces of wood that were supporting the bed and not because of Daniel weight.
Armine B&B in Gyumri. Such a lovely place, highly recommended!
RESTAURANTS
The Black Angus burger bar. Our favorite. But don’t tell that to Armenian people since they don’t serve Armenian food.
The Baguette french bakery. Taste very good. But don’t tell that to Armenian people since they don’t serve Armenian food.
Pizza Toria, an Italian place. The pizzas were almost as good as in Italy. But don’t tell that to Armenian people since they don’t serve Armenian food.
Armine B&B. Armine prepared us a real Armenian supper. Now we can say that we like Armenian cuisine! (after 5 days in the country).
BEST KEPT SECRET TIP
(Daniel only) Every Monday you can watch the latest episode of Game of Thrones at the Aeon’s anti cafe, a place full of board games, books and nice english speaking people.
Gyumri, Armenia
Gyumri (Armenian: Գյումրի, pronounced [ɡjumˈɾi]), is an urban municipal community and the second largest city in Armenia, serving as the administrative centre of Shirak Province in the northwestern part of the country. By the end of the 19th century, when the city was known as Alexandropol,[a] it was one of the largest cities of Russian-ruled Eastern Armenia with a population similar to that of Yerevan. It was renamed to Leninakan[b] during the Soviet period. The city's population grew above 200,000 prior to the 1988 Spitak earthquake, when it was devastated. As of the 2011 census, the city had a population of 121,976, down from 150,917 reported at the 2001 census.
Gyumri is the seat of the Diocese of Shirak of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

13 Places in Yerevan, Armenia You Should Visit!
By [ Gregori Saghyan
1. Republic Square and National Gallery and Armenia History Museum
Here in Armenia, Republic Square is considered to be one of 10 most beautiful squares of the world. Well, unfortunately, I couldn't find the source but I totally agree with the statement. Republic Square is really thrilling. It was constructed from 1924 to 1929. Its architect is a genial Armenian architect - A. Tamanyan who also designed Yerevan in general. The square is surrounded by The National Gallery and The History Museum, The Ministry of Territorial Administration of Armenia, The Government House, The Central Post-Office of Armenia,
2. Matenadaran
One can think that Matenadaran - The Ancient Manuscripts Museum could be a boring place. However, it is just the first and false impression. I am only 22 years old and I can tell that Matenadaran was awesome. Every single book, every single page of the books covers a very interesting story. I will bring just one example. The heaviest book in Matenadaran was around 34 kg. During Armenian Genocide it was carried out from Turkey by two sisters. They cut the book into 2 pieces - 17 kg each and tied to their bodies. One of them died during their escape from Turkey and her piece was lost.
3. Opera House
Opera House is the other great building by the genial A. Tamanyan. Located in the heart of Yerevan, it is indeed a piece of art from outside and of course it is magnificent inside. It would be enough to say that it is one of few Opera Theatres in the world that were able to perform Aida of Giuseppe Verdi but one should also know that Opera House has held concerts of such artists as Charles Aznavour,
4. Tsitsernakaberd and Genocide Museum
Tsitsernakaberd is the place where Armenians gather to remember the victims of the Armenian Genocide. Every April 24 people from Yerevan, other regions of Armenia and even a lot of Diaspora representatives walk to the eternal fire and put flowers in memory of the millions of people died during the tragedy.
5. Arin Berd or Erebuni Fortress
This is where Yerevan and modern Armenia begin. Being founded in 8th century BC and surviving to our times it is one of the oldest fortresses in the world. And it makes Yerevan one of the oldest cities of the world. Arin Berd in translation from Armenian means Fortress of Blood though it's not so scary. Indeed, this fortress is of a great historical value. So if you are interested in archeology or history, this is the place that you cannot miss!
6. Cascade and Cafesjian Museum
Cascade is my personal favorite. I go there with my friends to drink a cup of coffee and with my girlfriend to walk there. Cascade is just a masterpiece in term of architecture. From the top of cascade you can see the most beautiful panorama of Yerevan and Ararat if you are lucky enough because mostly Ararat is covered with clouds and is invisible.
7. Ararat Brandy Factory
Ararat is a symbol of Armenia but so is Ararat Brandy Factory. Any Brandy lover should know that after France the best Brandy in the world is produced in Armenia, but some even prefer Armenian Brandy to French. Ararat Brandy Factory is an old school top quality brandy maker - indeed the best one in Armenia.
8. Northern Avenue
Constructed in 2007 Northern Avenue became another beloved place for Yerevan walkers. Northern Avenue was included in Tamanyan's Yerevan city plan but he wasn't able to construct it.
It connects the 2 Yerevan Famous Squares - The Republic Square and the Freedom Square (where Opera House is located).
9. Museum of Parajyanov
Until now there are a lot of cinemaddicts that still remember the great Armenian movie director Parajyanov as he is one of the world-renowned geniuses in that sphere... Some greatest directors such as Fellini, Tarkovsky, Vigo, Antonioni, Godard and many others knew and respected Parajyanov as mastermind of his genre.
10. Museum of Saryan
Well, everybody who explores the world of art, the world of drawings should know Martiros Saryan as he is indeed a great painter. He is famous all over the world because of his ability to show the power of the colors. His paintings are very colorful and very beautiful... It is too hard to transfer that beauty by words.
