Highlights
- Republic Square - It is the central town square in Yerevan. It consists of two sections: an oval roundabout and a trapezoid-shaped section which contains a pool with musical fountains. The square is surrounded by five major buildings built in pink and yellow tuff in the neoclassical style with extensive use of Armenian motifs.
- Armenian National Opera and Ballet Theatre - Armenian National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet named after Alexander Spendiaryan in Yerevan was officially opened on 20 January 1933, with Alexander Spendiaryan’s Almast opera performance. The opera building was designed by the Armenian architect Alexander Tamanian. It consists of two concert halls: the Aram Khatchaturian concert hall with 1,400 seats and the Alexander Spendiaryan Opera and Ballet National Theatre with 1,200 seats.
- Cascade Complex - The Cascade is a giant stairway made of limestone in Yerevan, Armenia. It links the downtown Ketron area of Yerevan with the Monument neighborhood. Designed by architects Jim Torosyan, Aslan Mkhitaryan, and Sargis Gurzadyan the construction of the cascade started in 1971 and was partially completed in 1980.
- Swan Lake - It is a small artificial lake. The little island “was” the home of two swans. When the previous swans went missing during the hard years of the early 1990’s there was widespread speculation that they had ended up as someone’s barbeque.
- Vernissage Market - The Yerevan Vernissage is an open-air exhibition-market functioning on the weekends. It was formed during the 1980s by Armenian artists who started to display their art works in the square next to the Artists Union of Armenia. In addition to carved wood and art works, traditional carpets, old collections of coins and medallions, books, jewellery, musical instruments, electronics and even pets are found in the market.

Well organized, efficient and easy to organize - I arranged a private Yerevan city tour to cover several sites in 6 hours. The guide was excellent and adapted to my interest (history, culture and politics), offering up info and anecdotes as we passed sites of interest. She also added other interesting sites along the way, things I never would have discovered myself.
The guide arrived early to the hotel (a big plus when you‘re pressed for time) and was very efficient and friendly. Booking this trip was easy vie email. I highly recommend Land of Noah for city tours in Yerevan.
