Photography Tour in Yerevan
The best photos of Yerevan aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, The Cascade and Cafesjian Center for the Arts will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Kondi neighborhood for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
Yerevan surprises visitors with its walkability and warm energy. The Cascade, a massive limestone stairway adorned with modern art sculptures, climbs from the city center to a panoramic viewpoint with Mount Ararat dominating the horizon. Republic Square, surrounded by elegant pink tuff buildings, hosts the musical dancing fountains each evening. The Vernissage open-air market sells Armenian crafts, antiques, and art on weekends. Matenadaran, the repository of ancient Armenian manuscripts, houses treasures dating to the 5th century. The Armenian Genocide Memorial at Tsitsernakaberd is a solemn and important site. The city's cafe culture is vibrant, with outdoor terraces lining the Northern Avenue pedestrian street. The Ararat Brandy Factory, just south of the center, offers tours and tastings of Armenia's famous spirit.
