Question 2

Is Yerevan walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The centre is very walkable, so you can easily cover Republic Square, Northern Avenue, the Opera, Vernissage, and the Cascade on foot. Sidewalks are good and crossings are clear.

For longer hops, use the single-line Yerevan Metro: Hanrapetutyan Hraparak for Republic Square, Yeritasardakan for the Cascade, and Sasuntsi Davit for the station. For outliers like Tsitsernakaberd or Erebuni Fortress, a city bus or taxi is easiest. If you prefer more comfort or are planning day trips, consider a private tour in Yerevan with private transportation.
