One of the most beautiful places in the city. There are famous singing fountains, a historical museum, an art gallery, a museum of literature and art. There are many cafes and restaurants near the square, where you can not only relax, but also taste dishes of national cuisine and cuisine of other countries. The architecture of the tuff buildings is striking in its harmony and national ornament. All this beauty was created according to the project of the famous Armenian architect Alexander Tamanyan, whose monument is located on the Cascade.

The perfect place
["the undoubted pearl of the square is the singing fountains - some of the most beautiful that I have seen (and I have seen both in Dubai and in Winperl - there is something to compare it with) - a variety of music - classical, popular, and folk - and performances go on in a row (and not once an hour as in Dubai) - you can enjoy the performance for exactly half an hour"] to remember the difference between the Republic and the Federation!

I visited Republic Square in Yerevan - it's a really impressive place!
The first thing that catches your eye is the grandiose size of the area (about 30,000 sq. m. meters). To understand the scale, 50,000 people were quietly accommodated here during the papal prayer in 2016.
The main “highlight” of the square is, of course, the singing fountains. They are open from 21:00 to 23:00 (from April to the end of October). The performance is simply amazing - jets of water soar 50 meters to the music. By the way, these fountains became pioneers in the USSR - they began to “sing” back in 1971!
During the day, the square also deserves attention, although it looks more modest. There are several important administrative buildings built of light tuff. The building of the former Council of National Economy (now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia) is particularly impressive - its facade looks very solemn.
Practical details:
There are five streets leading to the square.
Nearby there is a beautiful pool called “Seven Springs” with drinking water.
The 2800th Anniversary of Yerevan Park with original fountain lighting is a 5-7-minute walk away.
Of the advantages:
Majestic architecture
Amazing Fountain evening show
Convenient location
Historical significance
Of the cons:
There is a lot of car traffic during the day
Roundabouts can be inconvenient.
I definitely recommend visiting the square twice: in the afternoon to appreciate the architecture, and in the evening to see the fountain show. This is one of the most iconic places in Yerevan, which is definitely not to be missed.
5 out of 5 stars - must-visit!

Republic Square in Yerevan is one of the most impressive and symbolic places in Armenia. It combines a rich history, national identity and a modern urban spirit. Tasteless street beggars with their songs from the 80s interfere with the atmosphere and sell flowers, they don't even sell but rush so that they can't pass, but there are exceptions and there are many good peppers who show their talent

A beautiful square, majestic buildings, a huge fountain, it's very beautiful in the evening, even if it's not in season. It would be nice to take a walk if it weren't for the intrusive private guides who start talking about love and friendship between nations, and then start selling private tours.

It is a very beautiful place, especially in the evening, when musical fountains are working and everything around flickers and glows from the backlight and numerous lanterns. However, there are a lot of people in the evening, literally not crowded. The second business card of the city after the famous cascade after all. After visiting this place, you can easily and simply take a short walk and walk to the most beautiful pedestrian street in the heart of Yerevan. It will be not only pleasant to just pass the time and take pictures, but also to do some shopping. The Northern Avenue connects diagonally the two main squares of the city — Freedom Square and Republic Square. There you can see a lot of elite residential buildings, trendy shops, cafes and restaurants. There is also a beautiful shopping gallery in the underground space under the pavement. And at the beginning of the avenue, right in front of the Black Star Burger ( if you go from Republic Square), the most delicious and photogenic cotton candy is sold.

Stylish tuff buildings make up the architectural ensemble of Republic Square. There is also a museum of the history of Armenia and an art gallery (also well worth the space).
And the undoubted pearl of the square is the singing fountains - one of the most beautiful that I have seen (and I have seen both in Dubai and in Winperle - there is something to compare it with) - a variety of music - both classical, popular, and folk - and performances go on in a row (and not once an hour as in Dubai) - you can enjoy the performance for half an hour for sure.
I definitely recommend visiting - especially in the evening, when singing fountains are launched.

Republic Square in Yerevan is the heart of the Armenian capital, where history, culture and modern life are modulated. Surrounded by majestic buildings such as the Government Building and the National Historical Museum, the square is an architectural masterpiece embodying Soviet heritage and Armenian identity. It is especially impressive in the evening, when the stone facades are illuminated with soft light, creating an atmosphere of magic.
The square is a popular place for walking for both locals and tourists. Various cultural and festive events take place here, ranging from concerts and exhibitions to fairs and flash mobs. There is a fountain and flower beds in the center of the square, which gives it a special coziness.
Don't forget to visit the famous cascade, which is a short walk away. The square offers panoramic views of Arrath, which makes this place even more attractive. Republic Square is an ideal place for the first meeting with Yerevan, where every moment is filled with inspiration and depth of culture.

The city center, where several main highways of the city intersect. There are government buildings on the square and next to it, and in the center there is a museum worth visiting. The square is clean, there are shops around a lot of cafes. In the evenings, the fountain turns into a musical one. By the way, all buildings are made of tuff and according to the drawings of Tamonyan, the general architect of Yerevan. (I do not pretend to be historical, this is all from the tour) now there are a lot of trucks and cars selling tours and excursions on the square about them. But I would not advise taking them here (I screwed up, like a brother, as a guest was taken to three roads) mb I was so unlucky, but in travel agencies it is much more civilized and the guides not only turn the steering wheel but really tell
