Your day will begin at the iconic Cascade Complex, a massive stairway adorned with contemporary art installations. Stroll through the heart of Yerevan, Republic Square, a grandiose ensemble of buildings, fountains, and statues, surrounded by cafes and shops.

An exciting part about the Echmiadzin complex is that all its churches are included in the UNESCO heritage list. The journey will start with visiting St. Hripsime Church, an Armenian Apostolic church of the 7th century in Vagharshapat. 

We will continue the tour in Armenia and go to the St. Echmiadzin Treasury Museum (till 15 November). It will offer you beautiful historical arts to visit that you will never forget.

The next destination to follow is the Zvartnots temple. Interestingly, Zvartnots stood for almost 320 years before the collapse in the 10th century. Now, the ruins will grab your attention.

*As an optional stop on the itinerary, this tour lets visitors explore the historic Ararat Brandy Factory in Yerevan to learn about traditional distilling methods, admire aging cellars allowing guests to taste a selection of fine Armenian brandies. An extra charge of 4.500 AMD per person will be added to the tour price, as well as extra hour to the tour duration.
