Private Tour: Yerevan City Tour (History museum, Megeryan, Tsitsernakaberd)

Aside from visiting historical landmarks, we highly recommend a tour of Armenia’s beloved capital – the city of Yerevan.

Legend says that the first word Noah pronounced as he exited the ark was “Yerevats” – translated as “it is seen”. This refers to the land he supposedly saw after the huge flood, which was later changed to “Yerevan”. You can find information on the history of city in the Yerevan History Museum, established in 1931. There are more than 87,000 cultural values in the museum telling about the city from ancient times to our days. During the excursion the guests will visit Matenadaran museum complex, consisting of 15 exhibition halls. Here are kept more than 20,000 manuscripts, fragments of manuscript, documents, old printed books, precious bindings, individual miniatures, etc. The tour will take you to Tsitsernakaberd, the memorial of Armenian Genocide. Armenians from all over the world visit this memorial to honor their ancestors.
