Yerevan - Tsakhkadzor

Yerevan City Tour

The tour starts at Armenia's capital, which has recently celebrated its 2800th anniversary. The journey will begin in Republic Square, the city's geographic core. After that, we'll go to the station plaza, where one of Yerevan's emblems, the monument to David Sasunsky, is located. He was the hero of the medieval Armenian epic. After that, we'll go up to Victory Park, which gives a stunning panoramic view of the city and biblical Ararat, passing via the Ring Boulevard. The tour will then continue along with the Yerevan Cascade, an open-air museum, and then along the avenue named after Mesrop Mashtots, the creator of the Armenian Alphabet. There we will see the Yerevan Municipality, the Sports and Concert Complex on Tsitsernakaberd Hill, and the Theater Square. We will continue our way to Theater Square.

Tsaghkadzor

As locals joke, in winter it's skiers' time to come here, and in summer – mountaineers'. Look yourself: the Kecharis monastery complex, the Orbeli Brothers Museum, the monument to Leonid Yengibarov, Osip Mandelstam's house, finally (drum roll!) beautiful ski slopes with a total length of more than 35 km – and all this in the popular ski and climatic resort of Tsakhkadzor, which means "valley of flowers" in Armenian.
