Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, is characterised by its imposing Soviet-era architecture. Nicknamed the 'Pink City' for the volcanic rock used in its construction, it is a capital on a human scale with some lovely surprises.
The Matenadaran Library, which houses thousands of ancient Greek and Armenian manuscripts, dominates the main avenue. The heart of the city is Republic Square, with its musical fountains and colonnaded government buildings.
