Republic Square, Opera House and Cascade Complex
Meet your tour guide in Yerevan and depart for your city tour.
Visit Republic Square, where you can get in touch with the great history of Armenia through the magnificent architectural ensemble that surrounds it. After refreshing yourself with natural spring water coming right from the ground, head to one of the oldest parts of the city.
Proceed to the Opera and Ballet Theatre, another 10-minute walk from the Moscow Cinema Theatre. This is one of the absolute masterpieces of world architecture that the city of Yerevan hosts and undoubtedly one of the landmarks of Armenia. Freedom Square, or Theatrical Square, in front of it is one of the most popular leisure places for local young people, who come here to bike or skate. Swan Lake near the Opera House, which is closely connected by its history to the Opera Theater, is another perfect spot to enjoy a walk and meet many local people. Concerts are often held here in the evenings.
Continue through French Square and the park of the Yerevan State Conservatory until you reach the Cascade, or as people call it, "The stairway to heaven", one of the symbols of the Armenian capital. This key structure in Yerevan city architecture was constructed in the '70s and has been revived since the early 2000s through major restoration works. Today, it is one of the beloved places for both locals and tourists, with multiple cosy cafes, beer places, and restaurants, and it represents one of the biggest collections of world modern art in Yerevan. Concerts and traditional dance events are periodically held here to entertain the public.
At the end of the tour, you will be dropped back at your hotel or airport.
