Yerevan is the capital city of Armenia, a city, which is 29 years older than Rome! It dates back to 782 BC, when the fortress of Erebuni was built by king Argishti The First. Yerevan is often referred to as "The Pink City" for many buildings are made of pink tuff stone. The capital city is a major tourist destination thanks to its numerous landmarks, extensive nightlife, great museums and lovely parks. A walking tour is the best way to really get immersed in Yerevan's culture, history and cuisine. One of the truly magnificent sights is Republic Square with musical fountains: from early May till mid-autumn there is a fantastic singing-dancing fountains show, accompanied by some great music of various genres. Another sight not to be missed is Cascade Complex, offering absolutely breathtaking views from the top to the city. You can fully enjoy it at night, when Yerevan lights up.
12:00 _13:00 - 2. Erebuni Museum and Fortress
The fortress of Erebuni is on Arin-Berd hill. It was built in 782 BC by the Urartian King Argishti The First. During the excavations, started in the 20th century, a cuneiform inscription was found, according to which, the history of nowadays Yerevan starts from this place. On the top of the hill the ruins of the citadel and the frescoes on the wall reveal the high artistic achievements of those remote centuries. The museum down the hill displays the findings that have been excavated in the territory of the fortress.
13:00_15:00 - 3. Tsitsernakaberd Memorial
The memorial-complex to the victims of the Armenian genocide towers over Tsitsernakaberd hill. At the center of the monument there is the Memorial Sepulcher with eternal flame and twelve tall basalt slabs, leaning over the flame. As a part of the monument, the arrow-shaped 44 m high granite stele symbolizes the spiritual rebirth and bold spirit of the Armenian people.
15:00_15:30 - 4. Armenian Genocide Museum
Armenian Genocide Museum is a special constituent part of Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex.

16:00-17:00 - 5. Matenadaran – The Museum of Ancient Manuscripts
On the northern part of Mashtots avenue there is Matenadaran (translated as a book depository), one of the world's most ancient libraries.
