You step out of a modern Mercedes onto Republic Square and the city immediately speaks in stone — wide steps, pink-and-white tuff facades, and a horizon cut by Mount Ararat. The driver closes the door; the guide opens a line of stories: Soviet-era planning, family-run cafes, and the slow geometry of a city that grew around an ancient citadel.

Time your visit for soft light
Book morning or late-afternoon to avoid harsh midday sun and to capture Mount Ararat in the best light.
Expect stairs at the Cascade
Wear shoes with good traction—Cascade has multiple terraces and staircases that require steady footing.
Carry local currency
Though cards are common, small vendors and some museum kiosks prefer cash (Armenian dram) for quick purchases.
Respect memorial spaces
At Tsitsernakaberd, keep noise low and follow any restricted-area signage out of respect for the site.
Comfortable walking shoes
Good grip and support for pavement and the Cascade stair terraces.
Light jacket or windbreaker
Evenings and viewpoints can be breezy; spring mornings are cool.
