Yerevan is actually 29 years older than Rome. You can learn the story of Armenia at the History Museum of Armenia in Yerevan's Republic Square.
Yerevan was built from pink volcanic stone called "Tuff". It illuminates the city (that gets 300+ days of sunshine annually!)
Yerevan has many cool neighborhoods and one of them is Saryan Street, a street known for its wine bars.
From top of the Cascade Complex, it's possible to see Mt. Ararat on a clear day - it will take your breath away!
In the middle of Yerevan, you will find a gorge called Hrazdan Gorge. You can stroll along the river, visit a Soviet Children's Railway, or zip-line there!
