Description

On this online walking tour, you will see everything from the expansive Republic Square located in the heart of the city, to souvenir items at the market and modern art statues at Cascade Complex. I will show you Armenian items included in UNESCO’s Intangible Heritage of Humanity, like the Armenian Cross-Stone and musical instrument Duduk. Passing through Northern Avenue, I will talk about the architecture, the Opera House, and the life and times of the Soviet regime. Yerevan is a city older than Rome, so you will see centuries-old architecture around. It is also known as the 'pink city' since many buildings have been constructed using pink tufa stone. When we reach the Cascade Complex, you will see modern outdoor exhibits like the Three Statues by Botero, and many other masterpieces created by international and Armenian sculptors.

I am a linguist by profession and have been working as a tourist guide since 2018. I am very passionate about my country and try to imbibe that feeling with my guests. I got the guiding training at the Guild of Guides school which gave me detailed information not only about my country but also about providing tour services and caring for guests. Armenia is beautiful in all seasons and is famous not only for its churches but also for the delicious food and safety. Our history goes all the way back to the 9th Century BC. We are very hospitable and generous people! You are welcome to Armenia at any time of the year!
