Soviet Yerevan Walking Tour

Our Soviet Yerevan Walking Tour covers Soviet Armenian history, art, architecture, scientific and cultural life.

Some of the highlights of the tour: Republic Square with some of the Soviet details still remaining, a post office, Soviet Armenian statues and monuments, typical Soviet Armenian buildings and courtyards, Soviet Armenian Social Modernist (and some Brutalist) architecture and a metro ride to the train station and back to Baghramyan Avenue to the Supreme-Soviet and Polit-Buro buildings of Armenian SSR…
