PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The venue – YEREVAN
Situated on the Hrazdan River, the city is one of the worlds’ oldest, yet in recent times has undergone
a major transformation, offering a great history combined with newly constructed retail shops,
restaurants, and cafés. Moving to Yerevan means relocation to the capital and largest city of
Armenia. Yerevan is a wonderful place to discover and a destination of contrast. Originating as a
small town in the 8th century BC, today Yerevan is a large city with a population of over 1 million.
Yerevan is a political, administrative, commercial & financial, as well as cultural & educational center
of Armenia. Because of the fact Yerevan is one of the oldest cities in the world; it hides many beautiful
and interesting places. To speak about Yerevan sightseeing and its endless number of attractions is
absolutely impossible but your visit to Yerevan will not be complete if you miss out any of these sites
– Cascade Complex, Victory Park, Matenadaran, Saryan Park, Vernissage, Erebuni Fortress and
more. You can find the complete list of places to see here: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractionsg293932-Activities-Yerevan.html
