📍 Destination Overview
Yerevan, Armenia's capital, traces its history to 782 BC - one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. Built largely from local pink volcanic tuff, it glows warmly in sunlight and is nicknamed the 'Pink City'. The grand Republic Square and the terraced, sculpture-filled Cascade are landmarks, while the snow-capped sacred Mount Ararat rises on the horizon on clear days.
