A place worth remembering

Visit Yerevan marks the market’s extent with two landmarks: it begins on Hanrapetutyan Street near Republic Square metro and ends short of the Vardan Mamikonyan monument.[2]

Three city sites form the base of the Erebuni reserve-museum

Visit Yerevan names three archaeological sites inside Yerevan’s administrative boundaries as the reserve-museum’s base: Arin Berd, Karmir Blur and Shengavit.[3]
