Kentron is the city’s graceful cultural hub, where crowds head to rose-pink Republic Square for nightly musical fountain shows. Home to contemporary exhibits, Cafesjian Centre for the Arts is built on the tiered Cascade complex, with views of Mother Armenia monument and beyond to Mt. Ararat. Stalls at Vernissage open-air market are filled with handicrafts, and young professionals sip local wines in chic cafe-bars.
