How to spend one entire day in Yerevan? Actually, a day is not enough to get the most out of this amazing city, nevertheless if you are running out of time and want to pick up unforgettable moments from Yerevan, here are some useful tips. Summertime allows you to wake up early and begin your day with ”live museum” by walking the streets of the eternal city older than Rome and taking photos of old buildings, monuments and memorials, museums and theatres, and why not even people smiling back. This walk will acclimatize you faster to the sights, sounds and, of course, the smells of this ancient capital. Surely, this walk will get you centered before you catch a taxi, hop a bus or get on the Metro to get from one part to the other easily and quickly without sticking in the heavy traffic jams.
After this healthy walk around, we suggest you duck into an Armenian cafe for yummy breakfast. On virtually every street of Yerevan you’ll find one or two, sometimes even a dozen. Have a cup of coffee, a glass of just squeezed fresh and one of the most delicious Armenian pastries.
As it’s often said. Yerevan is an open-air museum, so continue your day by visiting one. We suggest Erebuni Museum to know more about the history of the city and climb up the stairs of the oldest fortress overlooking the city.
A day will be lost if you don’t visit a church or cathedral based in Yerevan. You know that Armenia is the first to adopt Christianity as a state religion; consequently it’ll be a good chance to explore the religious life of the city. Go to the Saint Sargis church which is the seat of the Ararat Pontifical Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
Want to get cooled? Yerevan offers a wide range of open air pools to swim and sunbath. Check out some of them by visiting our WhatsApp group where the admins are 24/7 available to guide you through the whole country.
It’s said that Yerevan nights are incomparable. The city is even more beautiful at night than in a daytime. The lights on the streets emphasize the elegance and beauty of the city calling both tourists and local to enjoy the nightlife. Don’t miss an opportunity to enjoy the Dancing Fountains in the Capital Square.
One day is far too brief, after all, Yerevan wasn’t built in a day, and you can’t see it in one but you can make the most of your limited time.
