Yerevan

General Information about Yerevan

Armenia's capital and largest city of Yerevan is set near the Hrazdan River which is over 140 kilometres long and is the main river of Armenia. Yerevan has a population of over one million and is approximately 2,800 years old.

Yerevan throughout history has gone through some major changes due to wars and came close to near destruction in the 17th century by a massive earthquake. Yerevan features few buildings that survived the Soviet years and old Erivan as it was once called.

Getting to Yerevan is easy with the most popular means of transport being via plane. Visa's must be obtained before entry is allowed into Armenia and is only available at Yerevan Zvartnots Airport. However before travelling to any foreign country it's best to consult a professional regarding laws of foreign countries.

A trip to Yerevan would not be complete without visiting the ever popular Urartian castle known as Erebuni Fortress which was originally a military base in 782 BC. Yerevan boasts many museums as well as a wide variety of restaurants and cafes.
