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.
