Armenia Yerevan - At the center, the Republic Square with the State Historical Museum turns into the hub for festivities and parades, so it is definitely a great place to start. Otherwise, see the Armenian History Museum, one of many fine museum sin the city, or enjoy the day at a cafe or just walk the streets. A side trip to the Tsiranavor and Kamravor churches in Ashtarak, less than 15 miles away to the west or to the Khor Virap Monastery in Artashat 19 miles to the south are worthwhile.
