Things to do in Yerevan

Modern Art Museum

Colorfully eclectic

The "Modern Art Museum of Yerevan" doesn't look special on the outside but its collection is striking & the entrance is super-cheap! Great for art lovers.

Noy Wine Factory

Good wine, brandy and vodka

Noy Wine Factory Yerevan has tastings — it's where I had the best brandy and wine I ever tasted. What's more: it's built next to a 16th century fortress.

Jengyalov Hac

Jungle bread

On Teryan St, Jengyalov Hac serves this Artsakh specialty: flatbread stuffed with wild greens. Hearty, healthy, and best with matsnaprtosh or tan.

Yerevan Metro

Feel the smell of Soviet

The Yerevan Metro system isn't beautiful, but it's a place with people that remind me of Soviet times. I love exploring places close to the stations...

Eating homey

Cozy Yerevan spot with homemade-style food, great veggie options, and a vintage shop at the entrance. Don’t miss the pumpkin soup, it’s my favorite.
