Ցեղասպանության զոհերի հուշարձան
An austere monument & museum commemorating the victims of the Armenian Genocide. The permanent collection documents the 19th C community, then its ruthless destruction circa 1915 at the hands of the Ottoman Empire.
Tsitsernakaberd (meaning "Fortress of Swallows") is probably best reached by taxi. Walking from town, follow Athens St past the Hrazdan Stadium to Brazil Square roundabout, where a little lane branches north up the hill.
Արդեն
Independent chamber theatre founded in 2022, in a former House of Culture with about 50 seats. Performances, play readings, labs and lectures; the programme is on the website.
Miniature railway for children to ride in, established in 1937.
St Hovhannes Church
A church with three naves, built in 1710 and renovated and expanded in the 1980s.
Combination museum and restaurant with numerous Soviet-era household exhibits - cars, appliances, arcade games, and posters. Visitors can actually play the arcade games, dance to 1970s/1980s music, and enjoy food and drink from the era.
Boghossian Gardens
One of the oldest parks of Yerevan. Renovated in tradition of Japanese landscaping with Armenian spirit. It often hosts open air art exhibitions and concerts. It is best reached by metro, station 'Marshal Baghramian' - perhaps the most underused building and allegedly the best in Modernist style.
