Yerevan, Armenia

Capital City

With a population over 1 million, the Armenian capital of Yerevan can be a challenging place to call home. Sprawling across the Ararat Plain, the city offers a bustling urban energy, but the tax burden is heavy and bureaucracy is a persistent headache. Winters are brutally cold, with temperatures plummeting to -15°C. Yet Yerevan's rich history, thriving arts scene, and growing economy make it an appealing destination for Armenians and adventurous expats alike.
