8 Hidden Gems Things to do in Yerevan That You Shouldn't Miss

October 23, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

Long fought over by warring empires, the city of Yerevan survived centuries of foreign occupation, finally becoming independent with the fall of the Soviet Union. This capital city, a center of Armenian culture, has celebrated its freedom with a flurry of construction and a growing population. Despite this push forward, history survives in Yerevan - The Institute of Ancient Manuscripts houses books dating back to the 9th century, and the ruins of the Erebuni Fortress, built in 782 BC, still stand.

The building is very nice, there's a QR code on every art piece so it's easy to understand the artists vision. You can ask the guide if you need more details. Our guide was so sweet and welcoming. Eduard's technique is so interesting, it's totally worth to take a look.
