Why Everyone Is Traveling to Armenia Right Now | Yerevan City Guide

Did you know that Yerevan is older than Rome? With over 6,000 years of history, the capital of Armenia is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Affectionately known as the 'Pink City' because of the volcanic stone used in its architecture, Yerevan is rapidly becoming a top destination for travelers seeking history, culture, and mouth-watering cuisine.

From monumental parks overlooking the city to hidden bakeries serving fresh, traditional sweets, Yerevan has a unique charm that is hard to match. Let's dive into the highlights of exploring this ancient yet vibrant city, inspired by Roaming Mario's walking tour.

Must-Try Traditional Foods

Armenian cuisine is world-renowned, and finding small, traditional bakeries in Yerevan is a treat for the senses. Here is what you should look out for:

Traditional Baklava: A staple sweet treat. Try it with walnuts (full of rich sherbet) or go for the modern variations like pistachio or even coconut. The balance of sweetness is perfect.
Fresh Lavash: This traditional Armenian flatbread is so culturally significant that it holds UNESCO heritage status. You can find local bakeries making it fresh in traditional ovens—it smells heavenly and makes for a perfect on-the-go snack.

When buying fresh bread or sweets at local neighborhood bakeries, items are often sold by weight rather than by the piece. Be prepared with some local cash!

“A country that is older than Rome. A city, Yerevan, that is older than Rome. Over 6,000 years of history... One of the oldest inhabited cities in the world.”
— Roaming Mario
