The Armenian capital's position in the far eastern reaches of Europe means it's easily forgotten by those on the tourist trail.

Its downtown area is a mix of Beaux Arts buildings and hulking, Soviet-era blocks.
Visitors can take in the fascinating Apostolic Church and learn about the city's history at Erebuni Historical & Archaeological Museum-Reserve, a site that dates back to 782 BCE.
