Yerevan has a compact central core organised around Republic Square, Northern Avenue, the Opera and the Cascade. Most central museums, restaurants and public spaces can be linked on foot, while Erebuni, Tsitsernakaberd and outer districts require transport. The city’s broad avenues and radial streets make the centre legible, but summer heat and the climb toward the Cascade can change walking plans.

Republic Square anchors the southern part of the visitor centre. Northern Avenue leads toward Freedom Square and the Opera, with the Cascade continuing uphill beyond it. Kond lies west of the centre as one of Yerevan’s oldest districts, while Erebuni Fortress and Museum sit southeast. Treat Tsitsernakaberd and the Armenian Genocide Museum as a western cluster rather than a continuation of the central pedestrian route.
