Free Walking Tour of Yerevan
At the indicated time, we'll meet in Republic Square. From here, we'll set off on a walking tour to explore the main monuments in Armenia's capital. Let's go!
To begin, our free walking tour of Yerevan will take us to the Congress of Armenia and the Vernissage open-air market. Here, we'll see all kinds of Armenian handicrafts, from handbags and dolls to rugs and pottery.
During our tour, we'll also stop at an Armenian restaurant to try local starters such as zaatar with cheese or muhammara with bread. You'll also be able to choose between a drink of beer, a yoghurt drink called tan or tea and coffee.
Next, we'll visit the Cultural Genocide Park. This site was built in memory of the destruction of Armenian culture caused by the Mongols in the 13th century.
Afterwards, we'll stroll through Andrei Sakharov Square and visit Abovyan Street, the oldest street in Yerevan. Our tour will then take us to the Opera House. From the outside, we'll admire sculptures of some of Armenia's most famous figures, such as Hovhannes Tumanya, and discuss some fascinating local history.
The last stop on our free tour will be the Cascade, a colossal fountain full of stairs through which the water flows. After 3.5 hours of touring, we'll say our goodbyes next to the Cascade.
